Which Mystery Detective Are You?

1. If you could solve crimes in any time period, which would it be?

The turn of the century (late 1800s to early 1900s).

1930s to 1950s

1960s to 1980s

1990s to right now!

2. Is the glass half-full or half-empty?

Half-full

Half-empty

It really doesn't matter, as long as there's something delicious in it...

It really doesn't matter, you don't drink anymore...

What glass? You like an occasional drink, but you're really too busy fighting for justice to consider this question right now.

3. A great meal should be...

Absolutely delectable. Why eat if it's not delicious?

Quick and nourishing. You've got work to do!

Drawn out. It's the perfect time to reflect on evidence or meet with colleagues to discuss the criminal underground.

Available when you're DONE solving the mystery!

4. Someone has been murdered, and the crime scene is especially horrific. Your first reaction is to:

Throw up. Violence really isn't your thing.

Feel nauseous. You'll leave the crime scene investigating to the experts - but use the photographs they take and details they find as much as possible.

Closely examine the body for clues, no matter how gruesome it is. You want to be the first on the scene - before someone else messes it up.

Find out who's in charge - you always follow the proper procedure for crime scenes, lest the evidence be inadmissible in court.

5. When you read a book, which of the following do you prefer?

Lots of action! The story should begin with a leap and never slow down.

A slower beginning, but by the end, it's moving so fast you can't put it down.

A quick and easy pace that draws you in, but doesn't make your heart race.

Never slow, but full of lots of details - you don't care if the book takes longer to read, you want to know every little thing!

6. You prefer...

The big city

The countryside

7. Your favorite drink is:

A nice cup of tea

Diet Coke

Two fingers of scotch, neat

Coffee

Milk

8. If you were in the habit of solving mysteries, would you own a weapon?

Yes, you always carry your government issued firearm.

Yes, you know you can protect yourself in any situation.

Well, you might not have a permit exactly, but you might have a small gun here somewhere.

Weapons are for common criminals - you rely on your intellect for survival.

If you had one, you'd have no idea how to use it.

Do knitting needles count as a weapon?

9. You solve mysteries because:

You get paid to do it.

They seem to fall into your lap!

You can't help yourself - you're intelligent, capable, and you like to win!

You're morally obligated to apprehend wrongdoers and help justice prevail.

It's an amusing way to pass the time.

10. In the glove compartment of your car, you would keep:

A forensic crime-scene investigation kit

A little black dress - you never know!

A pair of gloves and a tape recorder.

A small handgun

A notepad and your library card.

Knitting needles and some yarn.

It's really up to your driver.
