The Detective
You find the facts, follow the evidence and get to the truth.
Detectives don't trust a story until they've checked it. You notice the detail that doesn't fit, ask the question nobody wanted asked and keep digging until it makes sense. Hype and wishful thinking don't move you; evidence does. Friends bring you their mysteries, from strange bills to suspicious offers, because you always find the answer.

As a friend
People call you before they buy the car, sign the lease or believe the rumor, because you'll find out what's really going on. Your honesty is a gift, even when it stings. Sometimes a friend just wants to tell a story without a fact-check; let them have that one.
In love
You want honesty above everything. You show love by paying attention: you notice what your partner needs before they say it, because you notice everything. Don't treat your partner's feelings as clues to solve; sometimes they just need you to believe them.
At work
You're excellent wherever truth matters: analysis, auditing, research, investigation, quality control, debugging. You find root causes and catch errors before they ship. Explain your findings kindly; being right lands better when it doesn't feel like an interrogation.
