While “which character are you” quizzes are fun, they’re a dime a dozen on the internet and might not have enough data to generate an accurate snapshot of your personality. A newly-surfaced test attempts to dive deeper, and if you’re going to take another “which Friends character are you” quiz today, this is it.
Uncovered by Margaret Willison, librarian and member of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, the Statistical “Which Character” Personality Quiz by the Open-Source Psychometrics Project aims to match you with your television or film soulmate based on scientific statistical data.
The time it takes to complete this version will unsurprisingly be longer than the usual personality quizzes, though it’ll likely require no more than five minutes. Rather than making you answer vague multiple choice questions, you’ll be given 28 pairs of adjectives, and are asked to drag a slider respective to how much you resonate with them.
Adjectives include “creative” versus “conventional,” “impartial” versus “biased,” and “loyal” versus “traitorous.”
After you have locked in your answers, you’ll be assigned a character from a gamut of television shows or films, including Friends, Sherlock, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, The Office, Crazy Rich Asians, and Downton Abbey.
But there’s more. Upon clicking on “full match list” on the results page, you’ll be provided with an extensive list composed of hundreds of characters you might be able to associate with.
You can take the in-depth quiz here.
