Which TLOU TV Series Character Are You?

Despite being co-created by the original game’s director, Neil Drukmann, The Last of Us series introduces new characters—and changes some of the old ones.

But the question is, which one are you? Are you Pedro Pascal’s version of Joel, Bella Ramsey’s portrayal of Ellie, or else? Take the quiz to find the answer.

Find Your “The Last of Us” Match with MBTI

Winners of multiple narrative and script awards, the Last of Us video games are known for their compelling stories and memorable characters. And HBO’s adaptation comes with the same qualities: It has a powerful story about unforgettable characters.

But the more complex a TV show’s characters are, the more challenging it gets to find your perfect match—or counterpart—among them.

We solve that problem by adapting the characters’ MBTI types.

In other words, the TLOU quiz compares your personality type to that of the show’s main characters.

If you already know your MBTI type, use the following descriptions and table to discover your character.

#1. Joel Miller

As with his character in the game, Joel in HBO’s adaptation has the personality of a survivalist. He’s been traumatized by past events, desperately trying to fix his mistakes. But despite his tough façade, Joel is also kindhearted, protective, and fatherly.

#2. Ellie Williams

Slightly different from her video game version, Ellie in HBO’s series is confused about her feelings. Her personality is parted between an angry teenage girl and an affection-seeking baby. In the new TV show, Ellie is spontaneous, careless, and stubborn.

#3. Tommy Miller

A former military person, Tommy in HBO’s The Last of Us is an idealist clinging to his pre-apocalypse views. As an ex-soldier, Tommy is disciplined, strategic, and cautious. But he’s also a compassionate man, willing to help those in need.

#4. Tess Servopoulos

A tough leader, Tess is a fearless woman who’s crossed all the lines to survive; she has nothing to lose. Personality-wise, the Tess we see in the TLOU TV show is more relatable and emotional. But she’s still a survivalist before anything else.

#5. Marlene

Despite being an antagonist in the game, Marlene in the HBO series has a humanized character. She’s the realist leader of the Fireflies who has firm ideologies about the post-zombie-apocalyptic world they live in. Personality-wise, Marlene is strong-minded, quick-thinking, and motivated.

#6. Sarah Miller

Sarah in HBO’s 2023 adaptation plays a more significant role than in the original TLOU games. She is a caring girl who’s mature for her age and aware of the absurdity of their situation. But she still manages to keep calm and find ways to help others.

Joel (Pedro Pascal)	ISTJ
Ellie (Bella Ramsey)	ENTP
Tommy (Gabriel Luna)	INFP
Tess (Anna Torv)	ENTJ
