Perceptions quiz: who do you think is the real Boris Johnson?

As Boris Johnson closes in on Downing Street, his political positions and approach to leadership are coming under closer scrutiny than ever before. But – as the contrasting accounts from leavers and remainers who have spoken to him privately in recent weeks make clear – he has always had a gift for presenting the most palatable version of his worldview to the audience directly in front of him.

Take our quiz to pin down your own sense of Boris Johnson – and then look at the results to see how they compare with other people’s views.

The real Boris Johnson

Over the course of the week, the Guardian is publishing a series of news reports, features and multimedia components on the man widely expected to be the next Conservative leader – and therefore prime minister. In coverage that ranges from his early days as a journalist to his last senior job as foreign secretary, we will seek to shed light on the exploits, ambitions and values of one of the most consequential – and most divisive – politicians of the age.
