Additional Information

This quiz is based on the Open Psychometrics Statistical “Which Character” Test, an expansive test based on a database of over 2,000 fictional characters. To create the test, over 3,000 volunteers provided descriptions of those characters using different adjectives (popular, charming, driven, coordinated, and so on). From there, each user’s test responses are measured against the data for each character to offer the closest personality match possible. The test isn’t totally scientific, of course, but it’s definitely viewed as a more accurate way to match personalities with fictional characters!

Other popular personality tests (unrelated to fictional characters) include:

  • MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). There are 16 MBTI personality types based on 4 core categories: introversion or extroversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving.
  • Enneagram. Enneagram is a personality typing system based on old spiritual traditions. It separates people into 9 different personality types based on their core beliefs, motivations, fears, and behavior.
  • DiSC. The DiSC personality model has 4 main “styles” or quadrants: dominance (D), influence (i), steadiness (S), and conscientiousness (C). While personalities are typically a combination of different styles, most people tend to have 1 or 2 primary styles.
