Doctor Who is one of the oldest, longest-running shows on television today. Whether you started watching the show back in the classic period or in the modern era, if you’re a fan, then you’ve no doubt fantasized about living in the endlessly exciting world of the show. You've maybe even wondered which of the many incarnations of the Doctor you're most like. Are you as gruff and curmudgeonly as the original? As action-oriented as his third incarnation? As strange and alien as his fourth incarnation? As cynical and world-weary as the survivors of the great Time War? As manic and clever as the eleventh version of the character? Well, you don’t need to wonder any longer. We’ve put together a quiz for you, one that will tell you once and for all which of the many versions of the Doctor you are most similar to.
Quiz WriterJoselyn, Heywise Staff
Joselyn wasn’t too keen on multiple choice in high school. She vividly remembers the first biology exam she passed by only the skin of her teeth, which dragged her overall average down into the embarrassingly low 90s (she doesn’t want to talk about it). After swearing off any high school or university courses that required multiple choice tests, Joselyn managed to get an English degree by sweet-talking her professors into offering only essay-style exams. Needless to say, this did not exactly endear her to her peers. This rocky start smoothed out in time, though, and after tumbling down a black quiz hole one day while putting off job hunting, Joselyn realized her hatred of all things a-b-or-c had faded and she actually enjoyed dreaming up new ideas for questions and dangerously correct-sounding answers. You won’t find her quizzes an easy ride, but Joselyn just wants to make sure you’re really testing your knowledge.
Did you know?
Doctor Who used to be a very different show
Not surprisingly, for such a long-runner, Doctor Who has undergone a lot of changes over the years. Originally, it was intended to be an educational series, with trips to the past to teach kids about history and trips to the future to give the kids more fun. This concept was dropped pretty quickly, though. Also, the first Doctor was a very different, rather darker character than most of the later ones. Indeed, the first couple of seasons even hinted that he might eventually be revealed to be the Big Bad of the show. However, with the second Doctor, the character took on many of the qualities recognizable from the show today. The third Doctor changed the format up, with the Doctor stuck on Earth and the show retooled as a spy-type show. The modern incarnation of the show made him the last survivor of his race, running from a dark and troubled past. And it’s sure to keep changing for as long as it’s on TV.
How to Play?
Our personality quizzes are set up a little differently than your basic trivia quiz, but you’ve probably seen their kind around. Rather than having to choose the right answer from a list of multiple choice options, in this case, there is no “right answer”! (Two plus two will always be four, but every Golden Girls character is equally awesome.)
So, stop stressing. Just click on the answer that suits you best, and enjoy the ride. These quizzes are just for fun but who knows – you might just learn something about yourself along the way!
