…who the hell is this “Judge Holden”? 😕 (Just kidding, I got Poirot.) ---

Am I the only one to have gotten Holden Caulfield? This doesn’t strike me as a compliment, nor do I think they’re right. Here’s the blurb: > [@](#): > > Although you share Holden’s introverted nature, you might also share his flair for the written word, if not the spoken one. With your idealistic streak, you might drift towards professions with an ultimate goal of adding value to people’s lives – as long as those jobs aren’t too detail-oriented. > > With developed emotional intelligence you are generally thoughtful, considerate and a good listener. Like Caulfield, you can be shy around people you don’t know – undemonstrative even. However, your feeling, thoughtful side can help you achieve great things even if your biggest critic will always be yourself. A bit of that’s true. But, jeez, that whiny prat is who I’m the best fit with? ---

> [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > “You are Mma Ramotswe from The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” > I guess I’d better read the book! Ooh, that’s not bad. You get to eat a lot, as Precious Ramotswe is “traditionally built”. And drink a lot of bush tea. 🙂 Me, I am apparently someone called “Coraline”, from a book called “Coraline”. I get the impression it is a children’s book, so I can’t be arsed to find out much about it. ---

I guess I am the first Mary Jane Watson checking in. When Mary Jane finds out Peter Parker’s secret identity as Spiderman she promises to continue to love him as a friend. It’s unclear how exactly she worked Peter’s secret out but it’s probably down to the deep intuition about people you both share. Your warmth and energy make you very popular with friends and colleagues as does your ability to bring out the best in them. In short, you make even troubled souls feel good about themselves. On bad days your intuition may lead you to manipulate others to get what you want but you usually return, fairly quickly, to your natural caring, down-to-earth and enthusiastic state. ---
