How the Shrek test works

Every question puts you in a situation from the world of Shrek. Pick the answer that's most like you, not the one you think sounds best. Each answer adds hidden points to the characters who would make the same choice. We ran all 16,777,216 possible answer combinations through the scoring: every character can be reached, and no result takes more than 21% of them.

Your result shows your main character, the character you're secondarily like, the one you'd clash with, and a full percentage breakdown across the cast, so two people who both get the same character can still have very different mixes.
