# Most like Sherlock Holmes

Observant, analytical and happiest with a puzzle to solve.

## What a Sherlock Holmes reading means

A Sherlock Holmes reading is someone who notices what other people miss and cannot leave a question alone. They go deep rather than wide, trust evidence over opinion and keep a small circle they would do anything for. Their focus is a gift they are learning to switch off now and then.

- You ask precise questions in your messages.
- You keep a small, trusted circle.

## How the character is chosen
