Holy cow! This is the first time I’ve ever taken a quiz like this and loved the result I got! I’m sticking with it. 🙂 > [@](#): > > You are Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s > > Holly grabs life by the lapels and refuses to stop and mope. Audrey Hepburn found playing her tough, “an introvert playing an extrovert”, but she captures your inspiring, enthusiastic and outgoing nature perfectly. With a gift of the gab, your ability to bring the best out in people and your lust for life make you great company. People who meet you want to be your friend. If they were to catch you on a bad day you might come across as indiscreet, flamboyant and hasty but, if you can focus on finishing the tasks you start, instead of moving on to something even more exciting, you can inspire us all. I actually am an introvert, but I can be socially ept\* when I have to be. \*the opposite of inept ---

Charlie Bucket. I played Willy Wonka in a community theater production some years back–evidently I was miscast. Though a 6’3" Charlie Bucket with a second tenor singing voice might not have flown. ---

I’m Batgirl. Obviously, when they said ‘fiction’ they didn’t mean ‘literature’ "Your competitive nature and fast-paced, decisive approach makes you the perfect super-heroine. The original Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, became a feminist icon and you are a natural leader, with your ability to see the bigger picture and strategise. Friends and colleagues may find you over-bearing and aggressive on your bad days… You’re programmed to excel and succeed and may ignore the emotional impact of your decisions. However, you’re Batgirl – enough said." I don’t think age counts for much in the test. I’m in my 60’s. Also, it’s sad that there’s no woman in ‘literature’ that matches these qualities, so they had to go to comics. And friends would find the description fair of me. ---
