Characterising the 6 James Bond actors - a call for help

Hi,
I'm working on a Helloquizzy test that can tell you which James Bond actor is most like you. The other tests that did this only work with one variable, a 'James Bond' factor which is just a ranking of the actors. This is not the way it should be.
I want to use 4 aspects of the role, which gives 6 combinations of 2 dominant aspects, one for each actor. Currently I'm working with Style, Action, Empathy and Gadgets:
Sean Connery: Style and Gadgets
George Lazenby: Style and Empathy
Roger Moore: Empathy and Gadgets
Timothy Dalton: Style and Action
Pierce Brosnan: Action and Gadgets
Daniel Craig: Empathy and Action
The test consists out of a story where you make decisions on how you act and what you say. Each answer awards or deducts points on several of the four variables. The two variables with the highest score decide which actor suits you best.
I want to ask your opinions on how you think this system could be improved, since you guys probably have a much better view on the differences between the actors. Should I use other variables, or would you use other combinations? Please let me know!
P.S. you can take the test , but it takes about a minute to register afterwards before you see your results. However, the people running Helloquizzy (a spin-of of OkCupid) are very user-centric and friendly, you can trust them not to spam your mailbox.

I just took your test while sipping a Vesper- boring Sunday afternoon- and I have to say you managed immensely well.
Coming from someone who actually loathes those personality quizzes.
It was not only a thrilling and fun ride but the questions well thought out and highly entertaining.
Very Bondesque.
Can only recommend that test if one should happen to have a couple of spare minutes.
I think you pretty much nailed the two dominant aspects down to each incarnation of Bond, to my own shock though, I ended up as Mr Lazenby.
I can't really suggest any improvements, the test seems to be fine just as it is.
I cared a little bit too much about the girl I guess and was prepared for Craig but hey, that girl wasn't Vesper-caliber probably.
Well done, sir.
Well done.

But you yourself are nothing so divine.
Just next in line.
1. People who hate things.
2. Irony.
3. Lists.
I came out as Timothy Dalton :007)
