I’m another\*\* Mma Ramotswe \*\*from The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. Yeah, I think age narrowed things down a lot. It also looked like they were contrasting Thinking/Feeling as well as Introverted/Extroverted. Glad they didn’t bother with the full Myers-Briggs typing. ---

> [@Gagundathar](#): > > As am I. > > That’s all well and good, but now I have to explain to my fiancee (a female, for the record) that I am homosexual. This is somewhat distressing. To be fair there was absolutely no indication that Dumbledore was gay in the books, that seems to be just something that J.K. Rowling mentioned after the series was finished. So just pretend you didn’t know that. 😉 > [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > George Smiley. I wonder who the female equivalent of that would be, since it all starts with age and there aren’t all that many famous older females. The female equivalent of Geoge Smiley seems to be Clarice Starling, at least thats the result I got after responding to every question exactly the same but indicating that I was female. ---

[Here](http://www.humanities360.com/index.php/character-analysis-emma-morley-from-one-day-by-david-nicholls-11029/) is a character analysis of Emma Morley, FWIW. Some quotes: > [@](#): > > Emma is depicted to be the brainy of the two and the most straight-laced. She is not the type of person that Dexter would normally get into bed with and that’s what makes her so hesitant and she is just pleased that he is there with her at all. She is described as wearing thick rimmed, black NHS glasses and has mousy brown hair. > > Emma’s life is also depicted as being quite sad and lonely. She doesn’t have many friends or boyfriends, the only friend that she thinks she has is Dexter, but then he doesn’t really want to spend any time with her. The readers often feel sad for her but as the story moves on they see that she makes something of her life and changes it around. ---

I am Atticus Finch (no, I am Atticus Finch!). I am so not Atticus Finch. They seem to have a pretty limited set of choices in their fictional characters, especially if they came up with that, for me, out of, what, a dozen questions? For several of the questions my real answer would have either been something else than the two options, or a combination of the two options. Roddy ---
