So on SuperBetter, that app that gameifies my self care, you are a superhero on a quest to better yourself and gain various skills and superpowers. My handle is Thora the Bold, hence the new icon!
According to this positive psychology quiz, my strengths are Curiosity, Justice, Good Judgement, Capacity for Love, and Love of Learning. Which seems accurate to me? But if you have superpowers to add, go right ahead!

Here's what I need help with: I need you to tell me how you see me use my superpowers. Do I use the Force for Good, or at least for Awesome? Even a sentence or two will be a big help.

You combine Curiosity and Love of Learning to kick yourself in the pants in a way I have not witnessed anyone else do. You use Capacity for Love to love yourself, which even I have trouble with. You can also Fly, see things from a variety of perspectives easily!

Good Judgement + Justice are the cornerstones of superheroic behavior, influence, and behavioral influence. But they don't look like superpowers until you look at them sideways and squint a little.

It's sort of like the way the leadership feat worked in D&D. It's more than sheer charisma, it's about having the kind of nature that retains influence and respect even when someone's a step or three away on the network relation graph. It's why The Bold is the perfect title for you. I've seen how people gather round.

...I never even noticed that Nora rhymes with Thor until you pointed it out. The comparison is instructive. If nothing else I've said so far makes any sense, then consider it this way: Why can some people lift the Mjolnir, but not others?

I think the answer definitely has something to do with the overlap between Justice and Judgement. It's a superpower, but on the ethical/intellectual level instead of the physical one. Its resonance is across the memetic axes. And you have it.
