What Does Your Bathroom Mirror Say About You? Take the Quiz
We offer some speculations to go with 11 very different mirror styles
Next time you walk into the bathroom at a friend’s house, look hard at the mirror. I don’t mean at yourself. And no, I’m not asking that you open it and look inside the cabinet to see what’s on the shelves. (You’re not one of those people, are you?)
Just look at the mirror. Besides setting the mood for the room, it might say a little something about your friend: Likes, hobbies, travel interests. In that vein I’ve collected 11 mirrors, each one a different style. First scroll through to see which you like. Then read the description and see if it fits you.
To really tempt fate, I am also guessing your sign based on your top choice. At the very least, I hope the profiles inspire you to start looking for the mirror you were meant to have.

You love to camp and are intrigued by old-school barber shops. You see beauty in the colour brown. You are a touch impractical and whimsical.

Fishing camps in Alaska and the Yukon. You also like Germany, Las Vegas and Austin, Texas, for the barbecue.

Best suited for
A budding artist, a designer, an architect or a mathematician. Narcissists would like it, too.
Who you are
You like solving complex geometrical problems and thinking outside the box. Your favourite subjects in school were probably debate and philosophy.

You very much like the concept of reflection, though not necessarily self-reflection.
Your favourite travel destinations are
Vintage flea markets throughout the world as well as anywhere there are pyramids and geometric ruins.
At the bar you usually order
A Manhattan, but if you’re feeling more lighthearted, you’ll do a margarita.

Cancer, Libra, Pisces or Virgo.
