Which Winnie the Pooh character are YOU?

NO! This is not one of those lame character quizes.
A few years back I was looking at Winnie the Pooh and realized something; the characters themselves embody various social archetypes experienced through a group of friends. In other words, the behaviors and attitudes the characters express are often very real and apply to a variety of people.
To give you a better idea here's the rundown:
Winnie the Pooh: He represents the very lovable, caring and fun friend who is sadly lazy, a glutton and a tad irresponsible. You love hanging with them but don't want to live with them. They tend to ask you for a lot of stuff, including money and food, and make very little effort to pay you back. Still, you enjoy their company thanks to their loyalty and sense of fun.
Piglet: Piglet is the neurotic, nervous and paranoid member of the group. If anything goes wrong he or she will panic. But even with this they have a fondness of everyone around them.
Eeyore: One word; EMO. He's the group member that is never in a good mood, is pessimistic and is always negative. He or she feels like she doesn't belong in the group and would rather be alone, thinking about gloom and doom. This is clearly all methods to get attention, to feel loved and accepted, but in the worst case they are too happy being emo. Its why you see them in the groups, but they barely spend time together.
Tigger: Every group of friends has that one friend that is always hyper, ready to go out and have some fun. That person is the Tigger. They have no qualms about being honest and 100% of the time they are the life of the party. The worst about being a Tigger is that people fail to take you seriously and may believe that you are just a bother for everyone. But its more fun being with a Tigger than with an Eeyore.
Rabbit: Rabbit the highly uptight person of the group. They are too worried about everything being perfect to try and have some fun. Even when their intentions are good it can get annoying as they have the tendency to boss everyone around. Rabbits barely get along with the Poohs and the Tiggers, mainly because they are so different from the straight and neat lives they are trying to life. On the plus side they are always willing to help and are far more dedicated to their chores than anyone else in the group, and if you need help planning something, a Rabbit is your best bet.
Owl: Owl is that one friend that is very smart and intelligent. Yet, at times it all seems rubbish and more like an attempt as being the best in the group. Worst of all, at times they don't even know what they are saying, and can be boring.
Roo: Roo can symbolize two types: The newest member of the group or the youngest. Both try hard to fit in and make everyone around him or her happy. They have yet to develop a personality that makes them different from the others but everyone is more than willing to take them under their wing.
So, which character are YOU? A hyperactive party animal like Tigger or uptight like Rabbit?
