When a friend asks 'notice anything different?', you've got the answer in three seconds. Like Holmes, you trust evidence over rumors and build the big picture from clues everyone else missed. You shine brightest when you work your own way.

Things a Sherlock Holmes type often says

Where's the evidence?
Something's different about you today.
Simple. Look at it one piece at a time.

In a group, I'm

Head detective, champion of lost-item searches

As a friend, I'm

The friend who untangles your worry like a case, clue by clue

When stressed

Having nothing to do wears you out. One puzzle to solve and your eyes light up again.

Sound familiar, Sherlock Holmes type?

Absorbed, you forget meals and research alone
You trust evidence over rumour
Your desk is a mess, but you know where everything is
From a friend's shoes you guess where they went yesterday

Where you shine

Misses nothing
You catch a friend's muddy shoes, a creased sleeve, a tiny change in voice. From clues others miss, you guess 'something happened, didn't it?'
Logic backed by evidence
You speak with evidence, not rumors or hunches. When everyone flounders, you lay out facts one by one and find the answer.
One-of-a-kind solutions
You crack stuck problems in ways nobody thought of. You shine brightest when you dive in your own way.

Watch out for

When the answer eclipses feelings

Deep in a puzzle, you may not see that the person beside you is upset or tired, and get called cold.

Try thisAfter solving it, be sure to tell your Watson, 'thanks for helping'.

When having nothing to do drains you

Without a puzzle to solve, you get bored fast and lose energy.

Try thisWhen you're idle, pick one new puzzle or thing to learn. When your mind has somewhere to rest, so does your heart.

A famous scene

The moment Watson visits, Holmes deduces that he has recently been soaked in the rain and has a clumsy servant girl.
