I ended up with John Williams (no surprise) but I must have had Rozsa as a close second because I did choose "researching ethnic instruments" and such. They're all such amazing greats so it's not an insult to be named any of them. I have collections of Goldsmith, Williams, Rozsa, and Hermann (and Steiner which I don't think was on this).
It was interesting to me since I write music to see these great kinda... watered down/generalized into a few simple statements about their works and to see what I tend to do. There were some obvious questions/answers in the set too but It's a nifty little test.

I'm happy, I'm Bernard Herrmann.

That's about the silliest quiz I've ever taken, and if you know anything about the composers you know who you're going to get beforehand. Also, I take issue with the following:
"You are Miklos Rozsa. A much-respected classical composer with an old world aesthetic and distinctly 19th century sound."
Distinctly 19th century sound? How ironic, when Rozsa ran into troble early in his career for not being 19th century enough. If you want 19th century you look to Steiner or Korngold, not Rozsa.
Lighten up son. It is only a silly quiz.

Does anyone know everyone in the photo?
my guesses, from left....
Franz Waxman
Alfred Newman
Bernard Herrmann
Ken Darby ??
??.....Mockridge, perhaps?
Alex North
Hugo Friedhofer
It looks like Hugo's standing on a full-apple-box! 
Yes, that's Ken Darby. But the composer to his right, I believe, is David Buttolph.
