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.

And the whole Dr. Who phenomenon completely baffles me. I'm sure I'm missing out on stuff, but... *helpless shrug* (see also Torchwood)
