Don’t you wonder which serial killer you are? Take this FBI profiling quiz to find out what you have in common with Ted Bundy, Zodiac Killer, BTK, or others.
What Is the Serial Killer Quiz?
It’s a series of psychological questions to determine which mass murderer you are. The goal is to compare your personality to infamous killers, discovering the most similar one.
To generate accurate results, the serial killer quiz looks for signs of detachment, sociopathy, and psychopathy. But the matches are loosely based on your similar characteristics and, therefore, the results should be taken lightly.

Why do People want to Know Their Serial Killer Counterparts?
Although some people struggle with Foniasophobia, the irrational fear of murderers, many others love knowing about them. It’s not unknown to anyone that procedural crime TV shows are extremely popular, and viewers can’t get enough of the chilling murder stories.
But why is that? Why do people ask questions like, “Which serial killer am I?”
As described on theTab.com, crime affects all of us because it could happen randomly at any given time of our lives. So, our brain is curious about it. It wants to know how to prepare for such a devastating event. And that’s why we are drawn to crime shows and questions like which murderer am I.
How to Identify Which Serial Killer You Are?
You could take an FBI serial killer test to discover which caught or on-the-loose murderer is similar to you. But if that sounds intimidating, here’s how to do it on your own—without a quiz.
Backstory: Multiple studies have confirmed that childhood traumas contribute to a person’s criminal motives as an adult. So, if you want to know which serial killer you are, you need to compare your traumas to them first.
Motivation: Some killers do it for fun, others do it because of a mental illness, and many don’t even have a specific motivation. But what about you? Hypothetically, what could motivate you to become a serial killer? The answer could reveal which infamous monster is similar to you.
Method: FBI profilers investigate the types of tools, weapons, and victims a serial killer chooses to identify a pattern. You could do the same when trying to identify which murderer you are. Read about the known patterns and see which one you relate to. (It’d be quite a weird thing to do, though).
How Likely Is It for You to Be an Actual Serial Killer?
At any given time, there are 25-50 active serial killers in the US. In other words, up to 50 of 329.5 million Americans are murderers. So, there is a 0.000007587 to 0.0000151% chance that you are actually a potential mass murderer on the loose.
For comparison, the chances of finding a $100 bill on the ground are one in 333 million. So, you’re less likely to find a $100 bill on the ground than being a serial killer.

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.
