A Kick in the Career: Results of Your Online Celebrity Quiz Are In!

Comparing yourself to celebrities and characters in books or movies seems to be all the rage on the Internet these days. A series of simple, personality-test questions and voila! You know exactly which real-life or fictional being has the most in common with you.

Personally, I don’t understand the need to compare myself to anyone else, but that’s only because I compare myself to my wife and kids all the time and still keep coming up short. However, it didn’t stop me from preparing this handy guide for you. Now, when you’re entering an important interview, or even if you are on the other side of the desk, you can get a bead on what you have to offer in clever pop culture format.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Your penchant for unique baby names demonstrates your out-of-the box thinking. Your level of compassion when breaking up with a rock star tells a potential employer that you would be loyal, and would put a great deal of thought into whether or not to leave them in the lurch.

Benedict Cumberbatch – Your skill at playing Sherlock Holmes has led you to be a formidable interview subject. You’re able to tell where your prospective employer has been in the last 24 hours by examining the miniscule fiber residue on his or slacks. Your ridiculous name proves that you put yourself out there unashamedly. You stand behind who you are, no matter how many times people ask you whether you’ve just introduced yourself with the name of a carrot patch inhabitant in a Beatrix Potter story.

Matthew McConaughey -  Your intensity is an acquired taste. But once your new boss gets used to the fact that your ability to come off like a psychotic and potentially violent sociopath is an asset to the workplace, all will be well.

Miley Cyrus – You are not afraid to court controversy, so you have the potential to take great risks on behalf of your company that could yield big returns. However, some time will have to be taken to explain the difference between working and twerking.

Oprah – You have the capacity to build an empire out of telling those who will never possess what you do how to empower themselves. If that is not worth a top salary at a Fortune 500 company, I don’t know what is.

Pope Francis – Though you are a champion of the underprivileged, you also take a hard line on issues that are important to the people you represent. If you can be kept from leading a hoard of angry workers into the CEO’s office to demand better treatment, you could be a valuable asset to the vision of the organization.

Kim Kardashian – If your physical appearance is any indication, you have shown the world that you can get a lot of work done.

Justin Bieber –Many brushes with the law clearly mark you as a rebel, which could present danger for an employer. However, you have around 50 million Twitter followers, so your power to bring the company’s message to a huge market share could make you worth the risk. After all, if an extra 50 million people can learn of a new product launch thanks to you, our spin doctors can deal with a little blowback from punching the police officer who found you with a brick of hash in your Mazerati.

George Lucas – Your ability to create a brand is among the most admirable in the whole history of capitalism. Any company would be glad to have your expertise in that area. However, your tendency to let Walt Disney carry on your legacy could be a sign of low self-esteem that would need to be addressed over the long term.

Beyonce – You’re hired.
