Ooh, well done! That’s you indeed 😀
What is the difference between “if I were” and “if I was”?

The meaning is the same, but “if I was” is a more recent version and sounds less elegant to me.

Nice ones, where did you get them from? Did you come up with the answers all by yourselves?

Finding the questions was the tricky bit: browsing the web gives you a sea of possible questions, and then I just had to keep a few, not too many and not too few, which give a balanced and fun portrait. For example, “which monument in London are you” is not interesting, because too specific. Or putting five geography questions and three others would be unbalanced. But basically you can pick the questions you like, which is a feature I like.
But the answers, I thought them up by myself. It can be fun to draw someone else’s portrait in this fashion though 😀
So, what about your answers?
