I have never come across a living soul who had a bad word to say about this TV show. The Office is one of the funniest and most relatable programs I've ever watched.
There's never a wrong time to watch it. If you're feeling sad, cheer yourself up with an episode. If you're feeling happy, celebrate by binge-watching a couple of episodes – you get the point, this show's immensely popular!
So, it doesn't come as a surprise that some of us are curious as to which character from The Office we most resemble. In light of this, we thought it would be fun to put together a quick 35 question quiz, with the aim of answering that question for you!
Now, remember, this test is a bit of fun, and we have by no means used any complex psychological algorithms to calculate which character you're most alike.
Let's face it, although for most of us, our favorite characters are either Dwight and Michael, we all want to be seen like we're like either Jim or Pam.
So, without further ado – let's dive on in and have a bit of fun with this quiz.
Never have I ever...punched a hole in the wall at work.
Never have I ever suspected one of my coworkers of stealing my phone and then calling it to deliberately wind me up because I'd spent ages at home recording a four-part harmony to rockin robin. I have also never, as a result of said prank, got so angry that I punched a hole in the wall at work. To which I responded by saying 'that was an overreaction' and then casually styled it out by asking whether anyone wanted anything from the break room.
Never have I ever...found my office supplies in jello
Never have I ever, had a piece of my property set in jello by the office prankster. Stationery items might include: staplers, mugs, calculators, etc. Let's face it; if you ever find yourself in a situation like this, there are only a few ways to react: shout, scream and kick a wastepaper basket over, complain to your boss and demand the perpetrator be disciplined (because it wasn't funny the first two times either), or you could simply eat the jello to get to your stuff.
Never have I ever...seriously injured myself doing the splits
Never have I ever, got so competitive in a dance competition that I attempted to do the splits and seriously injured myself. Warning, do not try this at home, men have been known to tear their scrotums. This is especially impractical if you decide to do this the night before your coworker's wedding, in a town you don't know! Usually, because almost everyone attending the wedding will have had too much to drink to be able to drive you to the hospital, except the bride!
Never have I ever...taken months off of work to go sailing
Never have I ever, had to sell my families boat, and personally sail it to the new owner (because sailing this ship had been a lifelong dream of yours) even though it involved taking months off of work, lying to your boss, everyone in the office resenting you, and really upsetting your girlfriend. We don't recommend doing this because there's a chance your girlfriend will start seeing someone else in the office while you're at sea- oops!
Never have I ever...had to learn a list of rules as a fundamental part of my childhood
Never have I ever, been made to learn 40 rules due to some weird family custom by the age of five out of fear of being eaten in my sleep. If this situation applies to you, there might be chants involved such as; "Learn your rules, you better learn your rules, if you don't, you'll be eaten in your sleep." Rules might sound like the following: "Don't turn your back on bears, men you have wronged, or the dominant turkey during mating season."
Never have I ever... taken office security too far by bringing weapons into work
Never have I ever, taken office security too far. 'Too far' refers to bringing any of the following weapons to work and/or hiding them in places around the office just in case you might need them: pepper spray, nunchucks, throwing stars, a stun gun, a boomerang, handcuffs, a nightstick, a pair of brass knuckles or a Chinese Sword. If you also find yourself bringing spud guns into work for the day just to test office security that's also 'too far'.
Never have I ever...taken fire safety too far by causing an actual fire.
Never have I ever taken fire safety too far. By this we mean doing any of the following to get people to learn how to respond to a fire: heating door handles with a blow torch, starting an actual fire (perhaps with the aid of a cigarette), or, locking doors so people can't get out (so as to cause panic). Even if this was done with the best of intentions, I think we can all that this is too far.
Never have I ever...had a weird relationship with exercise
Never have I ever had a weird relationship with running. By this, we mean getting really bad nipple chaffing so much, so they bleed through your shirt, holding a fun run to help find a cure to a treatable disease and becoming severely dehydrated to make a point, or likening your speed to "somewhere between a snake and a mongoose… And a panther." Let's face it, no one liked running, but all three of these scenarios add a little humor to this tedious exercise.
Never have I ever...brought my own water to work so I can get back in the social circle
Never have I ever felt like I was at a disadvantage at work because I bring my own water to the office. I found out that studies show more information gets passed through water cooler gossip than via official memos. So, to rectify this issue, I moved the water cooler right next to my desk so that I could be involved in conversations. Then if anyone questions why the water cooler's changed location, I promptly claim it was brought over for maintenance.
Never have I ever...asked where I could purchase a Gaydar
Never have I ever asked a coworker where I could purchase 'gaydar.' Then once they sent over this item, proceeded to scan another employee to test its accuracy (this coworker may or may not have just revealed their s-xuality), and then moments later have the 'gaydar' bleep at you as you accidentally scan yourself as you go over your belt. Shockingly, this didn't immediately alert me to the fact this was indeed a metal detector and not a device for detecting homosexuals.
Never have I ever...gone on a secret outing with my boss
Never have I ever, gone on a secret outing with my boss (perhaps a romantic trip away to Sandals, Jamaica) and then spilled the beans to my coworkers (perhaps by accidentally emailing a photo attachment of my boss topless sunbathing, to virtually every employee in the company, which then is blown up and hung up as a massive poster in the warehouse). If this ever happened to you, be sure to watch out for creepers who might take this poster home because they 'don't have a lot of art.'
Never have I ever...pretended to be a 'prison' version of myself
Never have I ever, demonstrated an alter ego as someone who's spent time in prison. If you're planning on doing this, history tells us there's no better way of pulling this off than by adorning yourself with a purple bandanna and adopting a New York accident. However, you might want to think of a more realistic crime than theft, robbery and kidnapping the president's son and holding him for ransom. Oh, and don't forget to tell your coworker that the scariest part of prison is the Dementors!
Never have I ever...had a 'date' version of myself
Never have I ever, taken on a separate personality to go on a date. Even though when you're behaving like yourself, you're actually quite charming and likeable. However, the alter ego that is the 'date version of yourself' is likely to ruin everything and make your date bail. For example, you might find yourself saying something along the lines of 'Hi I'm Date Mike, nice to meet me.' If you haven't tried this out, we don't recommend you do.
Never have I ever...fallen in love with improv
Never have I ever made improv my go-to hobby. Now, improv can be strangely addictive. However, we don't recommend going for the most dramatic scenarios all the time. We also recommend not repeating the same plot line over and over again. For example, threatening anyone with a gun, shooting a gun, pretending to be a police officer with a gun- you get the idea. Try to mix it up and be respectful of people's plot choices. Otherwise, you'll probably alienate yourself from the group.
Never have I ever...proposed to someone at a gas station
Never have I ever proposed to someone at a gas station. If you haven't proposed to your partner and you're considering popping the question, picture this- you can't wait to be engaged to your girlfriend any longer, even though you're in the midst of a long distance relationship. So, you organize to meet them somewhere halfway. Then as soon as you both arrive, you get down on one knee in the pouring rain and propose. Oh, so romantic!
Never have I ever...screwed up a wedding
Never have I ever screwed up a coworkers wedding. You could do this several ways, for example: creating a scene at the ceremony by making a heck of noise with a wheelchair. Or, you could stand up and make an unplanned and inappropriate speech at the reception. Perhaps you've chucked out an elderly relative because you thought he was a wedding crasher. Or, you've torn your scrotum the night before someone's wedding and made the bride take you to the hospital. Last but least you didn't ruin someone wedding, but it felt it appropriate to make bitchy comments about the bride stealing your wedding ideas.
Never have I ever...accidentally flashed a coworker
Never have I ever accidentally flashed a coworker. If you haven't already done this, we recommend taking extra precautions, because that is a lawsuit waiting to happen! For example, always lock your door if you're planning on getting naked in your office. Or, at the very least, don't say 'come in' if someone knocks on the door and you're getting changed. Really and truly you just need to use a little common sense to avoid this happening!
Never have I ever...done a fire walk
Never have I ever done a fire walk- and no before you ask, burning your foot on a George Foreman grill doesn't count. However, we will accept failed coal walks. For example, running onto the hot coals with no game plan other than to force your manager into giving you their old job by screaming 'give me the job' and then falling over and rolling around on the hot coals and consequently burning yourself all over your body. Your dedication to your job wins you some respect!
Never have I ever...accidentally had an affair with someone who's married
Never have I ever accidentally had an affair with someone who's married. If you've recently found out about your lovers true marital status- we don't recommend confronting the partner at their place of work, this is never the best course of action. Even if they're a sports coach and the thought of stealing the half-time oranges is a tempting one. Obviously, we suggest calling things off, especially if you've told your coworkers about your affair because chances are they won't approve.
Never have I ever...owned a collection of wigs to impersonate my coworkers
Never have I ever formed a collection of wigs so that I can impersonate my coworkers with a moments notice. Let's face it you never know when you might need to bear a passing resemblance to someone. However, history has taught us that wigs come in most handy when you're in the middle of a massive snowball fight with one of your colleagues and you want to catch them out when they least expect it! Is it me, or is that kinda creepy?!
Never have I ever...declared bankruptcy
Never have I ever declared bankruptcy. Word of warning, you can't just shout 'I declare bankruptcy' and hope for your financial problems to go away, you have to take some sort of action. If you're looking for tips on how to manage your money, we recommend you don't purchase multiple magic sets and professional bass fishing equipment on a whim. Or, accidentally sponsor a coworkers nephew $25 per mile when in fact, you thought you were offering one lump sum towards their charity walkathon.
Never have I ever...confused Lady Gaga with Britney Spears
Never have I ever accidentally confused Lady Gaga on the radio with Britney Spears. You may have demonstrated this by pulling up in your car while listening to Lady Gaga's 'Just Dance' and then declaring the catchphrase 'It's Britney Bitch'. This sudden display of confidence might be because you were excited about the launch of your own paper company. We appreciate this is a pretty specific set of circumstances- but let's face it, we've all confused songs and artists before!
Never have I ever... fantasized about my dream job.
Never had I ever dreamed of having a specific career. Most of fantasize about having a dream job at one point or another. For some, it's becoming a regional manager. For others, it might be pursuing something creative like art. Or, being able to hang out with your favorite sports stars as a sports journalist. Alternatively, you might want to grace broadway's stage and sing and dance to your heart's content. Or, maybe getting married and having kids is your ultimate dream? Either way, dreams are cool to have!
Never have I ever...broken up with my fiancé
Never have I ever left my fiancé and canceled my wedding with just a few months before the big day- and before you ask, no, proposing to your girlfriend on stage and getting rejected doesn't count, you are not a 'victim of a broken engagement.' However, If you have recently broken up with your fiancé and left it too late to cancel the caterers, I think we can all agree that having lunch sorted for the next couple months is undoubtedly silver lining to an awful situation!
Never have I ever...injured myself playing a sport
Never have I ever injured my ankle while playing sport. This injury may have occurred because you love volleyball and you saw the chance to shine during a company picnic. Either way, I think we can all agree that a sports injury is far more impressive than burning your foot on a George Forman grill because you accidentally trod on it as you got out of bed. Sometimes, the delicious smell of cooking bacon just isn't worth it.
Never have I ever...called a coworker a ridiculous name
Never have I ever called a fellow coworker something ridiculous. For example, an 'ignorant slut' would certainly come under this category. This may just be the best insult we've ever come across, just because of how bad it is. However, we wouldn't recommend banding this around your office because people who aren't massive fans of The Office may not appreciate the comedy gold that is Micahel Scott. Scrap that, never insult other employees- unless you're trying to get yourself fired!
Never have I ever...driven into a lake
Never have I ever, driven into a lake or anything that could potentially harm both the car and the passengers inside, because a Sat Nav told me to do so. This may happen due to one of two reasons. 1) You want to make a point about technology not always being right, and therefore you're against any further technological advances in businesses. Or, 2) You have way too much trust in Sat Nav- either way, you shouldn't be allowed on the road!
Never have I ever...been tricked into asking out a fast food mascot
Never have I ever accidentally called up a fast food restaurant (let's say Wendy's) because a co-worker tricked me into thinking I was being set up with a friend of his, called Wendy! Funnily enough, this prank is far more common than you'd think and we thoroughly recommend giving it a go because it's hysterical to watch (only with really close friends though, perhaps not your co-workers- again you don't want to get fired!)
Never have I ever...accidentally hit someone with my car
Never have I ever accidentally hit someone with my car. When we say hit someone with a car, we mean actually knocking someone over. For this to count, the accident should potentially cause physical damage as a result. For example, a fractured pelvis which renders a person hospitalized for a few days. This does not include aggressively nudging someone into a bush with your car as part of your plan to win a dual you're having with a colleague.
Never have I ever...screwed up a first aid training session
Never have I ever massively screwed up a first aid training session at work. The phrase 'massively screwed up' includes, but isn't limited to any of the following scenarios: unhelpfully pointing out that the victim (i.e., the dummy) has no arms or legs and prompting an ethics debate. Or, dramatically singing staying alive by the BeeGees (a song commonly used to help perform CPR) so that the whole office gets distracted and starts to either sing or dance along. Or, when the first aid professional declares the 'victim' dead, chopping up the dummy to demonstrate harvesting the organs in the invent the victim's an organ donor.
Never have I ever...held an annual karate seminar at work
Never have ever held an annual seminar at work, which aims to update my colleagues on the latest developments in the world of karate. This workshop may include (but isn't limited to) demonstrating some karate moves using the assistance of a coworker, or, illustrating these steps by beating yourself up-primarily via the 'throat punch' because you are the most worthy opponent of you (so, naturally it doesn't make sense for anyone else to take you on!)
Never have I ever...brought parkour to the office
Never have I ever got so taken up with the internet sensation (2004) that was 'parkour' that I behaved like an idiot at work. For those of you who don't know, this trend aims to get from point A to point B as creatively as possible. By idiot we mean doing any of the following: running around the kitchen opening the fridge door and yelling parkour, doing tiny cartwheels, climbing on peoples cars, jumping on the back of my coworkers back and riding them like a pony (this list isn't exhaustive). The chances are if you're doing parkour at work you're behaving like an idiot.
Never have I ever...raided another branch while dressed as a janitor
Never have I ever dressed up as a janitor (full overalls and dramatic mustache) and raided another office because they were trying to poach one of our employees. Raids include (but are by no means limited to): breaking into a competitors office, stealing any of their equipment, damaging any of their stuff (for example, throwing their industrial copier down a flight of stairs). If you've done something like this before and you communicated with your accomplices via walkie-talkies- even better!
Never have I ever...worked a side business or an additional part-time job
Never have I ever set up a side business or taken up a part-time job, in addition to the full-time job I'm currently working. These days it's increasingly common to work two jobs or to a run a side hustle- almost like a hobby. For example, do you run a working farm and sell beets to local stores and restaurants, or do you work at a call center at night? Have you ever opened up your own bed and breakfast? Or, are you part of an acceppella wedding band?
Never have I ever...been a part of a colleague's wedding party
Never have I ever been part of the wedding party at a colleagues wedding day. By this, we mean a bridesmaid, maid of honor, groomsman, best man, etc. Yes, it counts if you were asked to be the best man and then stepped down because you managed to get the groom's 'true' best friend to come into town. Bonus points if you helped to organize your office bestie's stag, hen do, or bridal shower!
