About the Quiz

How does the Stranger Things character quiz work?

Our quiz presents you with 8 carefully crafted questions about your personality, how you handle danger, and your role in friendships. Each answer is weighted towards different characters based on their established personality traits from the show.

For example, choosing to "load weapons and draw a tactical map" suggests Nancy Wheeler's strategic mindset, whilst "closing your eyes to sense danger" aligns with Will Byers' psychic connection to the Upside Down. At the end, the character with the highest cumulative score based on your answers is revealed as your match.

Which characters can I get as my result?

You can be matched with six main characters from Stranger Things:

  • Eleven - The powerful psychic and protector
  • Will Byers - The Sorcerer with connections to the Upside Down
  • Dustin Henderson - The brilliant strategist and loyal friend
  • Steve Harrington - The brave guardian and unlikely hero
  • Nancy Wheeler - The fearless investigator and leader
  • Robin Buckley - The analytical genius and supportive friend

Each character represents different personality archetypes, from protectors and strategists to leaders and analysts.

How long does the quiz take?

The quiz contains 8 questions and typically takes 2-3 minutes to complete. There's no time limit, so you can take as long as you need to consider each answer. You'll receive your result immediately after answering the final question.
