Which Criminal Minds Character Are You?

Don’t you have enough time to take the quiz? It is fine. Read the following descriptions of each main character and find the one you relate to the most. That is the easiest way to find out who represents your personality in the series.

#1: Dr. Spencer Reid

Being portrayed by Matthew Gray Gubler, Spencer is currently the most popular CM character. He is a socially awkward, intelligent, and analytical person who is also a special agent. Fans would love to resonate with him when asked, “Which Criminal Minds character are you?” That is because he is impressively smart, even though he suffers from emotional complexes.

#2: Emily Prentiss

If you asked someone, Which Criminal Minds character are you?” and they were like, “Emily,” just know that you are talking to a natural leader. Emily Prentiss is the BAY unit chief. A calm, empathetic, and intelligent person who knows how to run a team. She is the second most admired agent in the show as she is strong, reliable, and pretty much protective.

#3: Aaron Hotchner

Aaron, portrayed by Thomas Gibson, has little to no change throughout the show. He is an extremely serious, determined, and dedicated FBI profiler who cares about his job more than anything else. Or at least, that is what we see in most of the episodes. However, it is believed that Aaron has an emotional and easygoing side which he expresses out of the office.

#4: Jennifer “JJ” Jarreau

People who resonate with JJ when asked, “Which Criminal Minds character are you?” are attractive. She is a sarcastic agent who becomes a successful profiler later in the show. JJ can see details most people would ignore. However, she is often struggling with her past and sad memories.

#5: Penelope Garcia

She is the sweetest person in the BAU. Penelope was a hacker before she was caught and got a job offer as an FBI agent. She is funny, cute, and somewhat spontaneous, which makes her a fan favorite. Interestingly, not many people would say, “I’m Penelope,” when asked, “Which Criminal Minds character are you?” So, note that you have a unique personality if you matched the Black Queen in the test.

#6: Derek Morgan

Emmy Award winner Shemar Moore made Derek a memorable character. He is a regulation maniac who enjoys flirting with women—especially Penelope. However, most people say, “I’m Derek,” when asked, “Which Criminal Minds character are you?” are usually ladies-man types. Or at least, that is how they would describe themselves in short.

How to Play?

Playing personality quizzes is straightforward: Choose the option that’s true about you—or you relate to—and select “Next.” Unlike trivia quizzes, personality tests have no right or wrong answers. But the questions are in forced-choice format. The point is to push you to choose an option that makes the most sense, not the one that’s 100% true. For the most accurate results, don’t overthink your responses. Go with options that you “feel” are the best.
