Hmm...well, I dunno. I don't know anyone offhand, but I think some people who say they identify with Holmes wouldn't necessarily mean they're a deductive genius or anything. They might mean that they fall into pits of apathetic gloom whenever they don't have something to occupy their mind. Or that they keep their house in horrible disarray and eat and sleep and work at bizarre hours. Or get so wrapped up in a task that it totally consumes them until it's completed.

I actually think it's more common for people to identify with weirder or more minor characteristics of characters than the most central ones.

^That's a valid point, but I rather thought the OP meant "identifying" as in "considering their entire personality to be similar to that of the character".

Ah I see. I always thought it would be more like identifying with certain traits, because it's well, pretty damn unlikely to be similar to all aspects of a fictional character. ;)
