You Are 5: The Investigator
You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker.

You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does.

Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations.

You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it.

Heroes:

spider-man. wonder woman. superman. oh wait. maybe i should mention real people... Jesus, of course, St. Therese of Lisieux, my mom, my sister and my bro-in-law. basically to me a hero is anyone who works hard at what they believe in and never lets the doubters put 'em down.st. therese of the infant jesus, pray for us!
