What Your Severance Character Says About You

Considering that we've probably all dreamed about what life would be like if we could just disconnect the second we stepped into work, the characters in Severance are extremely relatable! Each character has different reactions to their new relationship with work that shape who they are, and we've matched you with one of them based on your answers. Here's what your results may mean about you:


You're Mark S.
You're the kind, empathetic Mark S! Like Mark, you care deeply about your friends and loved ones, so much so that you're willing to go to bat for them whenever the situation calls for it. You might not be stuck at Lumon trying to get to the bottom of a major mystery like Mark, but you've always felt like there was more out there. No matter what it is, you are determined to get answers about the world for yourself and your loved ones, even if it means bending the rules a bit to do so.

You're Helly R.
You're the rebellious Helly R! Both you and Helly march to the beat of your own drums, and if anyone tries to mess with that beat, you aren't afraid to stand up for yourself. You're the outspoken type, and you value your freedom. When you see that something is wrong, you can't help but do something about it, just like Helly. Whether that's bringing attention to an issue or directly acting on it yourself, you're always willing to take a stand, and that's what makes you so incredible. You know when to take action!

You're Irving B.
You're the loving, empathetic Irving B. Like Irving, you love hard and care for your friends deeply. You'd do anything to make sure they're happy and cherished, even if it means putting yourself in harm's way to keep them safe. You prefer a relaxed, kicked-back lifestyle when you're not working. You're the type to curl up on the couch or at a coffee shop, crack open a good book or sketchpad, and let your mind handle the rest, and we totally relate!

You're Dylan G.
You're the exciting, high-achieving Dylan G! Like Dylan, you aren't afraid to speak your mind and express yourself, even if it comes off as a bit brash to some. You value your freedom, but in the world of Lumon Industries, freedom looks a bit different to you. As long as you're given love, friends, and happiness, you're fine to continue doing your work. But if this love is inauthentic, you can sus it out from a mile away, so the higher-ups at Lumon better make sure they keep you and your team happy!

You're Harmony Cobel!
You're the cunning Ms. Cobel. Like Ms. Cobel, you value the rules and are willing to do anything to uphold them... at first, that is. When you see that these rules don't do much to accomplish a specific goal, you aren't afraid to go against them and do your own thing to make sure the goal is achieved. While some may call Ms. Cobel extreme, she's undeniably dedicated and hardworking. Like Ms. Cobel, you understand what it means to do something for the greater good, and that's a rare trait many wish they had!

You're Seth Milchick!
You're the dedicated, work-oriented Mr. Milchick. Like Mr. Milchick, you love the rules. They give you structure, order, and help you go about life in a productive way. You know things aren't perfect, but you find where you fit in and do what you can to get by. Both you and Milchick take your work very seriously, and when you have a moment to show it off, you aren't afraid to take it. It may be useful to take some time off every now and then, though, as it'll help stave off stress and keep you level-headed.

You're Ms. Casey!
You're the kind wellness counselor, Ms. Casey. You and Ms. Casey are caring people who look out for others. When your friends and loved ones are stressed out, you're the first one willing to lend a listening ear. You know how hard it is to deal with stuff alone, and you don't want to let anyone else go through that. You aren't necessarily the most outspoken, but you make up for that with your deep emotional intelligence and strong moral compass.

You're Eustice Huang!
You're the smart, Lumon-loving Miss Huang. Like Miss Huang, you strongly value the rules and will follow them to a tee whenever expected. Some people may look at you as a teacher's pet, but you know that your dedication to the cause will be rewarded one day. You're the type of person who will patiently wait and keep your head down until it's time for you to shine, and you've got the skills to back it up! No one comes close to your smarts, and as long as you embrace them, you'll continue showing the world why you're so special.
