I don’t know how many possible results this test has but here you go: [https://frozen-everglades-6644.herokuapp.com/](https://frozen-everglades-6644.herokuapp.com/) Apparently I’m George Smiley or Clarice Starling _(depending on gender selected)_, I’m OK with either of those. ---

Apparently this is me. I can assure you it isn’t… **You are Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird** At your best, like Scout, you are inspiring company for your friends, colleagues and even strangers. Atticus would be proud as your empathic nature helps you to walk around in other people’s shoes. Being around you is fun as you instinctively know how to make people feel good about themselves. On a bad day, you might blurt out something your neighbours wish you’d kept to yourself. Remember to take time out occasionally to work through your experiences. These periods of reflection will help you complete tasks and return to your naturally cheery, inspiring self. ---
