Statistical "Which Character" Personality Quiz

This is an interactive personality quiz that will determine your similarity with a long list of fictional characters.

When the creator of this website would tell people that he published personality tests on the internet, people would usually ask him if he meant that he worked at BuzzFeed on their "Which character are you?" personality quizzes. And he would have to explain that he did not and had never been very interested in that style of test. These quizzes are very fun, as evidenced by their extreme popularity. But they are not that meaningful, two people who get the same result on a typical example of these tests don't necessarily have much more in common than two randomly paired individuals. So for the longest time this website had not one character match personality quiz, but I guess it was inevitable because here is an attempt at a slightly more scientific, but still silly, "Which Character Are You?" test.

This test was created by getting volunteers to rate the perceived personality of a variety of characters (currently 1,410). A user's self ratings are compared against these profiles and the closest match is found. The documentation on how this quiz works can be found here.
