A little bit of fun this time – to see which of the characters in the Susie Jones books you are most like. I’d love to tell you this is a highly researched psychometric analysis and the results are a definitive measure of your personality, but I won’t and it’s not. It doesn’t matter if you’ve read either of the first two books, but answer the six multiple choice questions and the depending on the result you’ll maybe gain a little more insight into five of the characters who features in the stories. I’ve also added a picture to each of the results. Always a risky business as I know when I read a story I have a picture in my mind of what each character looks like – their physical appearance, height, weight, build, colouring, their hair, their eyes, their expression. If a book I have loved is made into a film or a TV series, I can either be delighted or disappointed at the choice of actor chosen to play the role of a character. An author may describe their protagonist one way, only for the producer or director (or whoever signs up the actor) to choose someone with a very different appearance. Sometimes, they get it just right, and there’s a certain satisfaction in seeing a character you’ve rooted for in a book, come to life on the screen, exactly as you imagined them. The images, I’ve attached to each of the character thumbnails in the quiz are just AI generated, based on a brief description I gave it. Because I tend to think and work visually, I find it helps to have picture in my mind of each character when I’m writing about them. As a reader, you may have a different picture in your mind. I’d love to know how my idea of the character’s appearance, differs from yours. Anyway, as a reward for taking the quiz, there’s link at the end for you to download a free short story.
