You… A. Give your honest opinion on his/her admittedly superb abilities and provide a balanced analysis on how he/she might perform as a leader — even if that glowing referral is detrimental to your own interests. B. Brush aside the idea that anyone could be better than you. Spend a full half hour extolling your own benefits. Maybe squeeze in a grudging good word for the opposition at the very end. C. Firmly say you don’t want the top spot. It was okay as long as you were in charge of the product line. Now they want you to deal with people? And engage in politics and power play? No way. It would only suck up valuable time you’d rather spend developing products. D. Sabotage the other candi-

Game of Well, the good news is: You have hidden depths. The bad news is, you’re quite the narcissist. Blessed with the kind of good looks and charm that you are, you’ve found that getting what you want is a little too easy — be it women or success. And that hasn’t done your personality any good. Where other men have failed, struggled — and learned, you’ve coasted by on the strength of your considerable gifts and have never developed essential qualities like sensitivity or modesty instead. No one likes a stud. Here’s some more good news: You can change. You’re smart enough to know when you’re being insufferable and we’d suggest that you act on that knowledge, immediately.

The Big Bang Mostly Cs: Leonard Hofstadter from Theory We’re saying Leonard, but you’re fairly interchangeable with any of the other BBT guys you know? On second thought, may be not Sheldon. Or Howard. Or Raj, come to think of it. But you get what we’re saying, right? You’re a geek — through and through. You wake up to news from at least five different tech sites streaming on your tablet. You understand gizmos and gadgets better than you do other human beings and your dreams are all about coming up with an equation that can rival E=mc2 (sorry, that’s the only recognisable equation our non-geeky brains could come up with!). But in a world that prizes the ability to adapt to (and excel at) new forms of technology, you’re ideally placed to be the new kind of triumphant knight who can conquer it all, including the fair damsel — if you can bring yourself to stop playing that game of Dungeons and Dragons that is. Mostly Ds: Charlie Harper from Half Men Hmm, Charlie Sheen’s character in Two and a Half Men (Charlie Harper) shares more than a first name with the actor: They share a lot of personality attributes as well, of the pretty unpleasant sort. Charlie Harper is a pretty misogynistic guy, and he only wants women for what he can get out of them — and the only other thing he does seem to want a lot, is beer. Don’t be that guy. That guy’s a boor, who’s enjoying more than his fair share of women and beer for the time being — but headed for b e ing replaced by Ash ton Kutcher in his future nonetheless.
