I am, apparently, Sherlock Holmes

elrhiarhodanI took the “What Sherlock Character Are You?” quiz (it’s over at PBS.org) and was kind of surprised at the results. Apparently I am Sherlock Holmes (I thought I’d end up as Mycroft, tbh).
You may seem eccentric to others, but you are devoted to your small and close-knit circle of friends, and constantly working to assure the safety of others. You don’t do it for praise, or even thanks, or to make more friends; you do it because it is the rare occupation that can challenge your intellect, and to satisfy your strong sense of justice. You have nothing against oddballs—so long as they don’t decide they have the right to hurt others. You use your unique charm when you have to, to navigate society and invite confidences, but with your friends you are yourself, in all your manic energy and chaos and zest for life.

You are the kind of person everyone likes immediately—kind, funny, smart. Your self-deprecating humor invites people in, and your fierce devotion and love keeps them by your side. Those closest to you sense that you have a core of steel under the easy exterior, and that you have experienced difficulties in life that, while they have not hardened you, have left you with a habit of hiding your real self. Keeping up that protective wall has its pros and cons, and you’re working to step past it more often.
I don't watch Sherlock :P And just like

Date: 2014-02-05 02:18 pm (UTC)I personally can't stand (this version of) Sherlock, so I avoid this show like the plague, but I had to take this quiz, obviously.
Aaand...had a giggle fit at the second question (Achilles Heel) when the first option was "People say it is a lack of discipline". Spankies? *ducks and runs*
Anyway. My result?

You are a quiet person with an instinctive understanding of what others are thinking and feeling, but you also like to have a little spice in your life. The people you’re drawn to are reserved, and inward-focused, and don’t offer you many chances to get close, even when they value your emotional intelligence. They usually prefer your brisk, pragmatic, professional side, which allows you to make cool, objective judgments in difficult situations. You are undeterred by this, and continue to look for the person who needs both sides of you.
No clue if this is complete bullshit or totally me. *ponders*

Date: 2014-02-05 02:31 pm (UTC)With me, it's totally BC. The guy is giving me creeps. I almost didn't watch the latest Star Trek movie because he played the bad guy. Plus, the whole concept of modern day Sherlock does nothing for me. *shrugs* (Now, Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes...mmmmhhh!!! :D)
And the whole Dr. Who phenomenon completely baffles me. I'm sure I'm missing out on stuff, but... *helpless shrug* (see also Torchwood)

"You have an unusual yin-yang: you balance a normal life devoted to helping people with a surprising yearning for danger and difficulty. You seek out people who are suffering, and do your best to help them, and you are the self-appointed protector of your close circle of family and friends. Basically quiet and reserved, you rely on that circle to provide you with both steady, reliable love and companionship and regular walks on the wild side."

I'm Molly Hooper apparently.
Funny how I kept thinking "none of the options really fit me", but in the end, it's actually pretty accurate. ;-)

Date: 2014-02-05 10:21 pm (UTC)"You have spent your life developing self-discipline in order to keep your unusual talents under control. You love order because you understand that chaos generates an array of negatives, from laziness to vanity to crime. You need close relationships but it can be hard for you to trust your heart to anyone, and so you remain focused on family and friends. You value recognition for your achievements but you avoid the glare of publicity, happy to run things from behind the scenes."
