What does my HIMYM character say about me?

How I Met Your Mother follows Ted Mosby (and his four best friends) as he recounts the journey of meeting the mother of his children. It's one of the most iconic sitcoms from the mid-to-late 2000s, with themes of destiny and timing, friendship, and growing up. In this quiz, we assign you a character based on your responses, and here’s what your possible results say about you:


Ted
You're a smart, sweet, and hopeful person who values genuine connections. You are the heart of your friend group, always there when someone needs a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. You also tend to romanticize life, having an almost fairy-tale view of love and often setting your hopes too high. That said, you know what you want and won't settle for anything less. You're definitely giving "main character" energy... and you totally know it!

Barney
Tough on the outside but soft on the inside, you are more than what meets the eye. Some people probably think you're just a fun-loving, charismatic person (which you totally are), but the real ones know how loyal and deep you really are. You always show up for your friends when they need you the most, offering the best advice and support. You're just an all-around genuine and legen—wait for it—dary person!

Robin
Cool, driven, and ambitious, you know how to get things done on time. You're not afraid to stand up for yourself and say what's on your mind. Because of this, some people may find you intimidating at first, but once they get to know you, they see how warm you truly are. You might struggle to express your emotions sometimes, but you have good intentions and a pure heart. Simply put, you're a go-getter who values your freedom and independence!

Marshall
Sweet, silly, and kind, you have a childlike sense of wonder and excitement. You love learning new things and helping people whenever it's possible. You're probably the goofiest member of your friend group, too, always cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. That said, you know when to be serious and support people during tough times. You're all about uplifting your loved ones and doing what you can to make the world a better place!

Lily
Sharp, nurturing, and protective, you're the definition of a ride-or-die friend. You always make time for your loved ones, even if you have a busy schedule. You want to know what's going on in their lives and be there for them as much as possible. Being this involved can cause tension at times, but it's only because you love your friends so much. At the end of the day, you make an effort in all of your relationships, which is super refreshing and admirable!
