He’s got the personality of a spider
I am Spider-Man. Personalitywise, anyway. I’ve never climbed any walls, but mom used to tell me I was driving her up one. I’m not sure if that counts, being the power behind wall-crawling power, but my newfound insight into myself explains a lot. As the new year begins, I’ve been taking stock of myself. When I ran across a test titled ‘‘Which Superhero Are You?’’ I knew I found exactly what I had been seeking: a well-reasoned personality profile that would dig deeply into my psyche and expose my raw strengths and weaknesses. The quiz led me through a bunch of insightful questions such as ‘‘Do you like redheads?’’ and ‘‘Are you virtuous?’’ I tried to answer as truthfully and honestly as possible so as not to skew the calculations. The scientific survey revealed that I was most like Spider-Man: ‘‘You are intelligent, witty, a bit geeky and have great power and responsibility.’’ Wow, did they nail me! The next quiz had me rank a bunch of color boxes from favorite to least favorite.
