What type of reader are you?

Hey, I found this article from another site.
It's pretty fun. It talks about the different types of readers. Check it out, if you're interested:

I am a Cross-under Reader. Here's my blurb, so you have an example:
"The Cross-Under. You are a grown-up who reads Y.A. or kids books, or a kid who reads adult books, and there is a place for you in society, finally. Your existence acknowledged after so many years, you no longer have to feel shame at your questionable reading habits but can instead bask in the admiration of book blogs and feel a part of the vanguard. You are not ruled by categories; you are a free thinker. When you were in elementary school a librarian told you a book was "Too old for you." You read it anyway, and there's been no going back. Suggested cross-under reads: For kids, Dickens, Fitzgerald, Salinger, Vonnegut, Harper Lee. For adults: Collins, Rowling, Alexie, Chbosky, Lowry".
Be interested to hear what other people are. There's a follow-up article at the bottom of the first one, btw, that lists some more types.
