All possible results
Your result
Eleven
Quiet, fierce and stronger than anyone guessed.
- Loyal
- Brave
- Still figuring out the world
You don't say much, but when you care about someone you'd take on anything for them. You've had to work out a lot on your own, and it has made you tough, observant and very direct. You hate being lied to and you take promises seriously.
You carry more than people realize and you rarely ask for help with it. You don't have to be the strong one every time. The people around you want to look after you too.
Your result
Mike Wheeler
The heart of the group, and the one with the plan.
- Loyal
- Stubborn
- A natural leader
You're the one who gathers everybody and decides what happens next. You believe in your friends completely and you'll argue with anyone, adults included, who gets in the way. Loyalty is the rule you live by.
You can be bossy and you take it hard when the group doesn't follow your lead. Leading doesn't mean being right every time. It means listening as well, especially to the people you love most.
Your result
Dustin Henderson
Curious, funny and the glue of the group.
- Smart
- Cheerful
- Peacemaker
You get excited about things and you don't care who knows it. You're the one who works out what's going on, explains it at length, and makes everyone laugh on the way. When your friends fight, you're in the middle trying to patch it up.
You make friends with everyone, including people nobody expected. Your optimism is no accident. It's a choice you keep making, and it's the reason people want you around when things look bad.
Your result
Max Mayfield
Tough shell, guarded heart.
- Independent
- Sharp-tongued
- Braver than she lets on
You don't let people in easily and you've got reasons. You're quick, sarcastic and completely unimpressed by anyone trying too hard. You'd rather handle things alone than owe anybody anything.
Under all that you feel a great deal, and the hardest thing for you is saying so. The friends who stayed after you pushed them away are the real ones. Let them hear what's actually going on with you.
Your result
Steve Harrington
Started out shallow, ended up everyone's protector.
- Protective
- Funny
- Grew up a lot
You may not have started as the nicest person in the room, but you changed, and you did it by showing up. Now you're the one who drives everybody home, takes the hit, and somehow ended up responsible for a group of kids you'd do anything for.
You joke about yourself before anyone else can. You don't need to. People stopped seeing the old you a long time ago. What they see now is someone they can count on.
Your result
Jim Hopper
Grumpy, worn out and fiercely devoted.
- Protective
- Blunt
- Soft underneath
You're tired, you're short-tempered and you'd like everyone to leave you alone with your coffee. And yet you're the first through the door when someone is in danger. You've been through real loss, and it left you gruff on the surface and very gentle with the few people you let close.
Your temper pushes away the people you're trying to protect. Saying the kind thing out loud is harder for you than doing something dangerous. It's worth the effort.
Who can you get?
The quiz has six possible results: Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Max, Steve and Hopper. I chose them because they’re the characters people most often compare themselves to, and because they’re different enough that the questions can tell them apart. Lucas, Will, Nancy, Joyce, Robin and Eddie all have their fans, me included, and I may add a second version with them in it.
How the Stranger Things personality quiz works
You answer nine questions about how you’d act in Hawkins: what you do when the lights flicker, how you make friends, what you’d risk everything for. Each answer adds a point to one character, and each character has exactly six answers leading to them, so no result is harder to reach than the others. The character with the most points is your match.
If you tie between two, you’ll see whichever comes first in the list. Take it again and change the answers you were torn on to find your runner-up. Everything is scored in your browser and nothing is saved.
What your result says about you
Each character stands for a way of dealing with trouble. Eleven faces it head-on and alone. Mike organizes. Dustin thinks and keeps the peace. Max puts up walls. Steve protects. Hopper grumbles and then does the right thing anyway. Your result points to the one you fall back on when things get difficult, and that isn’t always the character you like the most.
Does it contain spoilers?
No plot spoilers. The questions and results describe personalities, not events, so it’s safe to take if you haven’t finished the series. The descriptions do mention how some characters change over time in general terms, such as Steve growing up, but nothing about what happens to anyone.
Is this an official quiz?
No, it’s fan-made. AuraQuizzes isn’t affiliated with Netflix or the creators of Stranger Things.
