I am the Tin Man (or the Tin Woman, as the case may be). “You have an unusual appreciation of others. You can enjoy someone else’s good fortune, and you find it hard to ignore the pain of another person. Your empathy will win you many friends in life, but it can also be exploited by manipulative people. Be kind and friendly, as is your nature, but when helping others, be careful to risk only what you can afford to lose.” . . . I had been hoping for “Miss Gulch” . . . ---

I’m **Glinda.** > [@](#): > > You have been gifted with special talents and abilities. These are an honor, but also a burden. Throughout your life many people will come to you for help. Some will be your friends. Some will be your enemies. Some will be total strangers to you. When deciding whether to help these people remember that you have a responsibility to leave the world a better place than it was when you found it. Remember also that when you show kindness to others, you will often inspire in them a desire to pass on the good will. Well, this is nice and all, but now I’m questioning my sexuality… ---

OMG I’m _ **A Member of The Lollypop Guild** _ Only you matter. Other people only exist to keep you in charge of your perfect little corner of the world. Your suberb mastery of public relations keeps the world in the palm of your hand. Although you find sugar-laced presents to be a useful tool in gaining favor, you probably can’t stand sweets yourself, subsisting instead on a diet of tofu and grapefruit juice. ---

Sounds like me: **The Tin Man You have an unusual appreciation of others. You can enjoy someone else’s good fortune, and you find it hard to ignore the pain of another person. Your empathy will win you many friends in life, but it can also be exploited by manipulative people.

looks like _I’m_ Auntie Em! You are kind and caring, even if a little set in your ways. People seem to tell you strange stories. Sadly, you are never sure if you should believe them. Be patient with those around you, and slow to judge, and you should lead a long happy life. ---

Scarecrow. “You will sometimes find yourself dealing with those who know less than you, or who think slower than you. Your talents will be best used by solving problems for yourself and others, and by helping others to expand their skills and understanding. Your talents will not be well used by intimidating others and making them feel stupid. Be confident in yourself and patient with those around you.” Yeah, that works. ---

And the description above really sounds like me. Sorry, **auntie em**. I hope this doesn’t mean that you will have to get a new user name. Isn’t odd that the only Auntie Em’s so far are both guys?
