About This Quiz

This quiz is LEGEN...wait for it...DARY! And you won't have to wait to take it! In New York City, five friends were always meeting up in a bar to talk about their day and their troubles. From landing a date to becoming a lawyer, which character from How I Met Your Mother are you?

In 2005, CBS debuted their latest sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. The series followed Ted Mosby as he told his children the story of how he met their mother. Traveling back and forth between the present and the past, we met Ted's dynamic group of friends made from Barney, Marshall, Lily, and Robin. Which one of these characters are you?

Are you the romantic at heart, Ted Mosby? While you're simply looking for love, your personality forces you to be a worrier. This mostly leads into worrying about your friends, but it's what makes you such a passionate and loyal person!

Are you the life of the party like Barney Stinson? Although you're constantly trying to seduce a date, this doesn't take away from the fact that you're still a great friend. Your methods might be a bit strange and extreme, but you can always put a smile on anyone's face!

Rather than Ted or Barney, maybe you're like Marshall, Lily, or Robin. Take this quiz and find out which HIMYM character you are!

As Barney might say, "suit up!"
