You're undeniably talented, but you also know the value of hard work and are prepared to spend hours perfecting your craft. Naturally popular, you attract many admirers – but anyone who crosses you will soon realise they’ve made a serious mistake. </span></p></p></section><section><h3>You are: Satan Summoning His Legions</h3><p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Your larger-than-life personality, penchant for flamboyant headwear and scores of loyal minions make sure you never get lost in a crowd. Sure, you’re a little intense, also, the actual definition of evil, but hey, no-one’s perfect. Our President has gone so far as to call you the most embarrassing work in our Collection, but we’re proud to say we're friends of Satan.</span></p></p></section><section><h3>You are: A Boat Passing A Lock</h3><p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">People might see you as lovely and peaceful, but that doesn’t mean you’ll shy away from standing up for what you believe in. You’re not one for attention-seeking dramatics or social climbing – you prefer to be out and about, enjoying fresh air, good company and beautiful scenery. </span></p></p></section><section><h3>You are: Cat</h3><p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Skulking in the shadows above our sculpture gallery, you avoid the crowds and stay quite literally above it all. You’re an independent alley cat that’s perfectly capable of taking care of yourself, not some pampered pet. Not everyone takes the time to notice you, and that’s just fine. Not everyone deserves to get to know you. </span></p></p></section><section><h3>You are: Dolbadarn Castle, North Wales</h3><p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Imposing, dramatic and more than a little bit moody, you have no time for small talk or small minds. You’re something of a loner, but a lack of social engagements just gives you more time to channel all your creative genius into your work. When do you meet someone who’s on your intellectual level, you’re a friend for life. </span></p></p></section><section><h2>What sort of first impression do you make?</h2></section><section><h3>How would your friends describe you?</h3></section><section><h3>What's your personal style?</h3></section><section><h3>Time for a holiday! What's your pick?</h3></section><section><h3>Choose an emoji:</h3></section><section><h3>It's a beautiful summer day and everyone's out enjoying the British countryside. You'll spend it...</h3></section><section><h3>What annoys you the most?</h3></section><section><h3>How would you react to someone trying to start a fight?</h3></section><section><h3>Where would we find you at a house party?</h3></section><section><h3>How would you react to overnight fame and fortune?</h3></section>
