What Television Character Am I? A Scientifically Silly Quiz

Find out which TV character you are most like with this unique personality quiz. Unlike typical “Which Character?” quizzes, this test uses a data-driven approach for a more meaningful result.

This quiz was born out of a common misconception. The creator of this website, when discussing his work on online personality tests, was often mistaken for someone who created the popular “Which character are you?” quizzes found on sites like BuzzFeed. While entertaining, those quizzes often lack depth, with results that don’t necessarily reflect meaningful similarities between individuals. This led to the development of a more scientific, yet still fun, approach to answering the question: “What Television Character Am I?”

How Does This Quiz Work?

This quiz utilizes a vast database of character descriptions, generated from over 3 million volunteers. These participants rated 2,000 fictional characters on various adjective-based scales. Your self-ratings are then compared to these existing profiles to find the closest match. This data-driven approach provides a more nuanced and accurate result than traditional quizzes. For a deeper understanding of the quiz’s development and methodology, detailed documentation is available here. Beyond self-report, there’s even a peer report version to address potential biases, and a version for couples.

Taking the Quiz: A Step-by-Step Guide

The quiz presents you with pairs of adjectives and a slider between them. Your task is to position the slider along the spectrum to indicate where you fall between the two extremes. This adaptive test allows you to choose the number of questions you want to answer, using the version option. The recommended version takes approximately 185 seconds (about 3 minutes) to complete.
