Just So We’re Clear…

This is entirely for fun. Not science. Not psychology. Not a formal personality assessment. Your favourite roller coaster does not define your personality, emotional stability, career path, or future success. But if Hero is your favourite… we are slightly concerned about your chaos tolerance. Lovingly, of course.
