Something I found while lurking fb today. Took it at the same time as my brother and he got "detective". It is new to me but some of you might know it. It very superficially resembles MBTI but it isn't. People were trying to correlate with their types and it was kind of a mess. My results are due to other factors obviously but it was funny to see the label on mine.
