Which This Is Us Triplet Are You?

This Is Us is on its second season on NBC, and it had viewers totally enthralled from the very beginning. Originally advertised as a show about a group of people with the same birthday, we learned after the first episode that those people were Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) and his triplets, who were born on his birthday. His wife Rebecca (Mandy Moore) gave birth to Kevin, Kate, and Kyle, but sadly Kyle was lost during the delivery. The same day, a heroin-addicted woman gave birth to a little boy we would later come to know as Randall. She died (presumably during childbirth), and his father dropped him on the door step of a fire station. Jack and Rebecca, mourning the loss of Kyle, decided to adopt the little boy, who they saw in the crib next to Kevin and Kate in the hospital nursery. It was not an easy road ahead of them, but they got through it as a family.

This Is Us takes place in the present day, as well as in the past. There are actors who portray the Pearson triplets as babies, at nine years old, at 15 years old, and as 30-something adults. Through the flashbacks, we are clued in to why these people have become who they are, at the same time as learning about the lives of their parents, Jack and Rebecca, who largely contributed to how their kids turned out.

If you are a fan of This Is Us, you know the Pearson triplets well. So which of them would you be- Kevin, Kate, or Randall?

Question 1

Choose a spouse.

Try to answer this question not thinking about your gender. Based on their personalities, which of the triplets' significant others would you get along with the best, if you were married to them for the rest of your life? Would it be Beth, Toby, or Sophie?

Question 2

What is your biggest struggle as an adult?

The Pearson triplets all have their own individual struggles. They are in their mid-30's and all live very different lives from one another. Kate struggles with her weight, Kevin struggles from an addiction to prescription painkillers, and Randall has mental breakdowns from all the pressure in his life. What is your biggest struggle?

Question 3

What was your biggest struggle as a kid?

The great thing about This Is Us is that we not only get to follow the lives of the Pearson triplets as adults, but we get an insight as to why they are the people they are now because we are also shown their childhood through flashbacks. And even back then, they had their own problems to deal with.

Question 4

Where do you live?

Kevin, Kate, and Randall have quite different lifestyles. One way this is illustrated in the show is by their homes. Randall, his wife, and their kids live in a luxurious, single-family home. Kevin appears to live in a condo or loft of some sort. And Kate lives in an apartment. Where do you live?

Question 5

Who were you closest to growing up?

The Big Three, as they are called, all had good relationships with their parents growing up. But some relationships were shown to be stronger than others. For example, Kate seemed especially close to her father, although they all mourned his death deeply. Kevin felt closest to his twin sister Kate, and Randall had a special bond with their mother, even though it took the longest to form.

Question 6

How much money do you have?

If there is one thing that all three Pearson triplets seem to have in common as adults, it is that they have all done ok financially. Kevin, as an actor on The Manny, has earned millions. Randall is a weather commodities trader, which has earned him a decent living. Kate is an assistant, and although she seems to be financially stable, she has far less money than her brothers.

Question 7

What would you rather be for Halloween?

Recently, viewers were treated to a Halloween episode of This Is Us, in which Randall dressed up as Michael Jackson, Kate dressed up as Sandy Olsson from Grease, and Kevin dressed up as a cigarette-smoking bum, while their parents, Jack and Rebecca, dressed up as Sonny and Cher. The group ended up splitting up for trick-or-treating, but it was a great episode.

Question 8

How would you most like to spend your Saturday?

We all have our own ideas about what the perfect day off would look like. For some, it would mean watching their kids play sports, or doing anything with them, at all. Others would love to just do literally nothing all day except binge watch Netflix. And others still enjoy shopping and eating out. How about you?

Question 9

How do you feel around kids?

Randall, Kevin, and Kate seem very different from one another when it comes to children. Randall is a pro, as he has two daughters and a foster daughter. And he does really well with it. Kevin is the cool, funny uncle that everyone loves, but who might not make the best parent. And Kate seems a bit hesitant around kids, although she gets pregnant in the second season- but loses the baby.

Question 10

How much physical activity do you get?

Randall Pearson is often seen running on his treadmill or working out. He, like his brother Kevin, is very physically fit, and both men have been seen without a shirt on plenty of times, much to the pleasure of female viewers. Kate, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of her brothers, and needs to lose quite a bit of weight to be healthy.

Question 11

You generally go for someone...

Rarely do we seek out people to date who are exactly like us. Such is the case with (for example) Kate Pearson. Kate is kind of a serious person, but she found the love of her life with the funny Toby. Kevin is not nurturing or sweet, but he fell in love with Sophie (twice), who definitely is. Randall is the exception, because he is quite a serious person who married Beth, who seems equally serious.

Question 12

How do you feel about Kyle?

Kyle was the third Pearson triplet, the one that was lost during childbirth. But because of this loss, the Pearson's adopted Randall, who showed up at the hospital on the same day, having been abandoned by his birth father at the fire station. It all seems like fate now, and the triplets all have their own feelings about it- and about Kyle.

Question 13

How would you characterize The Manny?

The Manny is the sitcom that Kevin Pearson stars on in the This Is Us world. He hates playing the character of The Manny, who is known for his washboard abs and being kind of inept. He feels it is meaningless and an embarrassment. Kate seems to support Kevin no matter how he feels about it, as does Randall. But it is clear to all that it is purely slapstick and nothing substantial.

Question 14

What is one thing you do every day?

Daily routines are important in life, especially if they are something that helps to improve your physical health or mental health. It takes 28 days of doing the same thing to create a habit. Some of the habits the Pearson triplets have (good and bad) are working out, popping pills, and attending a weight loss group.

Question 15

In high school, you were...

Everyone seems to have a label in high school. Some are good and some are bad. Through flashbacks in This Is Us, the Pearson triplets all clearly have labels of their own. Football player Kevin is without a doubt a jock, Kate is a loner of sorts, and Randall is a braniac. What were you?

Question 16

How do you deal with stress?

We all have our bad days, and that is true for Kevin, Kate, and Randall Pearson, as well. They all have their own life stresses, and they all deal with it differently. How you deal with your own problems in life, or what your negative qualities are, will help determine which triplet you are most like.

Question 17

Which self-help book should you probably read?

There is likely not a person on this earth who would not benefit from reading a self-help book of one kind or another. Everyone needs a little help now and then, whether it be for your physical health, mental wellbeing, or anything else. It is not a shameful thing, but a normal thing, even for the Pearsons!

Question 18

What is the worst thing your parents could do to you?

Let's be honest; all of these options are pretty terrible. And they all happened to Kevin, Kate, and Randall. Their parents, Jack and Rebecca, separated when they were teenagers, and then Jack died not long after. Randall experienced all of this, as well as being abandoned on the day he was born. In your opinion, which is the worst?

Question 19

If you could be anything, you would be...

Everyone wants something different, and most of us want many things. But if you were to be asked, as you are now, what you could be if you could be anything at all, what would be your answer? Would you want looks, money, perfection, or something else, entirely?

Question 20

Which superpower would you choose to have?

Sometimes, it feels like simply being a good person is not enough, and we imagine ourselves doing all sorts of things- like having superpowers, for example. There are so many cool ones to choose from, so which one would you most like to have?

Question 21

What is your biggest regret?

Sadly, regrets are just a part of life. But without them, we as humans would have a much harder time learning life lessons. Some of the lessons the Pearson triplets have learned are about love, loss, family, gratitude, and even more. And some of that, they learned the hard way.

Question 22

How do you handle heartbreak?

It is virtually impossible to go through life without experiencing heartbreak. And it does not necessarily have to be a romantic loss to break your heart. Basically, everyone loses someone- Kevin loses Sophie, Randall loses his birth parents and William, and they all lose their father, Jack.

Question 23

What is the scariest?

In this world, there is plenty to be afraid of, especially in this day and age. Besides the usual, everyday fears like of spiders, heights, small spaces, and things like that, people are quite afraid of the unknown, such as death or losing a loved one. What scares you the most?

Question 24

What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

Who doesn't enjoy a nightcap every once in awhile? Throughout This Is Us, we see Kate drinking wine at dinner, and Kevin downing beer in between popping his painkillers, We do not see Randall drinking alcohol as much as the twins, although he undoubtedly does once in awhile.

Question 25

Which of the triplets would you most like to be?

If you had to live the life- past, present, and future- of just one of the Pearson triplets, which one would it be? It may seem obvious to choose Kevin, who is rich and famous and attractive. But if you look deeper, you may be able to find reasons that it would also be nice to be Randall or Kate.
