You are Claudia.

You are caring and compassionate and put other people before yourself. You’re probably doing well in a people-oriented job. But if you’re too much like Claudia, there’s a danger you’ll be taken advantage of.
By someone like Gene.

Result Claudia

You are Gene.

Witty and self-assured, you are the life of the party. But if you can't control your roving eye, one day you may wake up to find the furniture gone and the sleeves missing from your Armani suit.

Result Gene

You are just like Don.

You are rational, highly intelligent and not swayed by fashion or errant emotions. You may excel in a career that involves computers. But you do not excel in social situations. You have hidden your emotions for so long behind a comic facade, that you've forgotten how to really engage with others. You may need help from someone like Claudia, and the stimulation of someone like Rosie to help you re-join the human race.

Result Don

You are Rosie.

Smart, strong and impulsive, you confront life head-on. You pride yourself on your passion and integrity and are driven to uncover the truth. But you also have a vulnerable side and must let go of past hurts if you want to let others in.

Result Rosie

Fortunately, as Claudia and Osgood Fielding III would say, nobody’s perfect.

And you can read The Rosie Project to see how it all works out for Gene, Claudia, Rosie and Don.
