Which Star Trek, Next Generation character are you?

[SteveDallas]

I like to think I'm Captain Picard.... Suave, urbane, and able to kick ass and take names, but without being a complete prick about it (like some executive officers that could be mentioned). As a bonus, irresistible to a certain redheaded doctor.

Reality, of course, rarely lives up to our dreams. I was previously employed by a college which employed a hallowed honor code governing student behavior. Any alleged infraction resulted in a hearing by members of the honor council. After a suitable period of time, an "abstract" of the case describing the charges, the evidence, and the resolution was published, out of a desire for openness and to encourage community involvement and debate in the process. However, the names of all participants were anonymized. Usually this took the form of chatacters from a TV show or movie. For example, in a situation of harassment by an ex-boyfriend, the report might include a confrontation between Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara.

I explain all this boring detail so you'll have some context when I tell you that I once made an appearance in one of these proceedings as Commander Data. (A student was claiming to have written an assignment but lost it in a floppy disk crash. I was asked to examine the disk to see if there was any evidence of damage or portions of lost files.)
