I got 10 out of 12. Can I ask a personal question?

I got 7 out of 12 but I confused Mark Twain with George Bush.

10/12 but I think the website was wrong about the 2 I got wrong.

No...
Ah screw it... sure, go ahead. (I'll just make up the answer anyway!)

8 / 12. I don't think I've ever read any Twain...

6/12... looks like the statistical expectations worked out this time

"I've always believed in God. I also think that's the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you're in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement."
- King or Twain?

"Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty."
- King or Twain?

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

I would guess King.

I have not taken the test yet - just landed on this thread.

My guess is:
# 1 - King
# 2 - Twain
# 3 - Twain
Why are you asking?

"You got the majority of these correct. You've likely read at least one of the authors thoroughly, as well as interviews with him to know how he feels about the world around him. Or you're a good guesser."

I only got eight out of 12

You're probably somebody who is always reading and chooses books from a wide variety of authors. You not only know how they write, but have an idea about their philosophies on life. Mark Twain and Stephen King may have different contemporary reputations, but they're more alike than most people realize.

In hindsight the two I got wrong were obvious. I've never read Twain before so that might have actually helped.
