Which Steve Carell Character Are You, Deep Down?
From cringe-comedy softie to Oscar-nominated menace, one of these eight guys is basically your personality on screen โ take the quiz to find out which.

Answer honestly โ there's no boss move, no lamp, and no wrestling mat wrong answer here.
Question 1 of 10
You Got
Michael Scott
The Office (2005-2013)
You need to be loved more than you need to be right, and you'll absolutely humiliate yourself trying to make that happen. Underneath the cringe, though, is a genuinely huge heart that shows up when it matters most.
You Got
Frank Ginsberg
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
You're sharp, sarcastic, and privately carrying more heartbreak than you let on. You've hit real lows, but somewhere on the road trip of life you find your way back to caring again.
You Got
Andy Stitzer
The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)
You're organized, a little insular, and completely fine doing things at your own pace no matter what anyone else thinks. You don't need to rush โ when the right thing finally clicks, you're all in.
You Got
Brick Tamland
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
You say the wrong thing at the wrong time constantly, and somehow it's always endearing instead of embarrassing. Pure chaos, zero malice, all heart.
You Got
Gru
Despicable Me (2010)
You act tough and standoffish, but it's a total front โ one small vulnerable moment and you're completely rearranged as a person. You'll deny it, but you're a softie who ended up loving the family you never planned on.
You Got
John du Pont
Foxcatcher (2014)
You're controlled, unsettling, and desperate to be valued in ways you can't quite express in healthy terms. This is Carell's Oscar-nominated dramatic turn, and if this is your result, you contain more darkness than anyone around you realizes.
You Got
Bobby Riggs
Battle of the Sexes (2017)
You turn everything into a show, thrive on attention, and gamble your reputation for one more shot at relevance. Underneath the hustler act, though, is someone just desperate to be liked.
You Got
Dan Burns
Dan in Real Life (2007)
You give great advice to literally everyone except yourself, and your instinct to protect the people you love tips over into controlling more often than you'd like. Once you loosen your grip a little, you're capable of real, unexpected romance.
