As a tip to some of our newer guessers, when a QM is specifying “broadly speaking” that usually means the individual at least should give you a slight pause as to whether they fit into one of the specified categories

Edit: I don’t think my responses will lead people too far off the trail but may issue additional questions or a clue after Q19 if it appears I misjudged my answers previously
