Key:

If you said mainly 1’s, you are…Dolly Levi-Gallagher dancer, widow, and jack of all trades, but mainly a marriage arranger.

If you said mainly 2’s, you are… Barnaby Tucker! As innocent and wholesome and excited by the prospect of a stuffed whale as a seventeen-year-old can be.

If you said mainly 3’s, you are…Cornelius Hackl: chief clerk at a hay and feed store. You’re 33 years old and you’ve never been kissed but goshdarnit is it a goal!

If you said mainly 4’s, you are…Horace Vandergelder, the well-known Yonkers half-a-millionaire in need of a wife, and in perpetual pursuit of more money!
