SAMPLE QUESTIONS

Example Questions From the Test

    • His intelligence and willingness to be challenged make him highly attractive.
    • The collaboration adds strong appeal, even if masterminds are not always my type.
    • I respect the flexibility, but strategy does not create much romantic interest.
    • None of it particularly draws me in; I prefer a different kind of chemistry.
    • Stay for the intellectual exchange, with definite smash potential.
    • Join the discussion and see whether the connection extends beyond ideas.
    • Listen for a while, although the debate itself would not win me over.
    • Politely pass; intense idea-sharing is not my preferred romantic spark.
    • Smash—the confidence, energy, and open interest would pull me in.
    • Potential smash, provided he can also listen when the spotlight moves.
    • I might enjoy his company, but the big personality is not a strong draw.
    • Pass—I am generally more attracted to understated characters.
These are 3 of the 16 real questions — the rest appear in the test. No sign-up needed to start.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

Smash or Pass Quiz - Description and methodology of the test

Readers wondering whether guarded, charming, dependable, or clever fictional archetypes resonate with them can use the smash or pass quiz to compare those preferences. This smash or pass online quiz lets readers explore how different character dynamics create fictional chemistry. The result compares four character profiles, showing whether one affinity leads or several sit close enough to form a blended pattern.

What This Assessment Explores

The questionnaire examines four attraction styles: guarded intensity, social confidence, dependable care, and intellectual play. As a fictional character attraction quiz, it helps readers compare how different character dynamics create fictional chemistry.

The result dimensions are:

  • Brooding Rebel (0-12) shows attraction to independent, guarded characters: Different Type (0-4), Conditional Intrigue (5-8), or Rebel Affinity (9-12).
  • Magnetic Charmer (0-12) shows attraction to confident, expressive characters: Different Type (0-4), Selective Spark (5-8), or Magnetic Match (9-12).
  • Steady Sweetheart (0-12) reflects a preference for attentive, dependable characters: Different Type (0-4), Growing Warmth (5-8), or Sweetheart Affinity (9-12).
  • Witty Mastermind (0-12) shows interest in clever, strategic characters: Different Type (0-4), Mental Chemistry (5-8), or Mind-Meld Match (9-12).

The highest score marks your strongest affinity, while any outcome within one point of it forms part of a blended result.

Methodology and Evidence Base

The items use fictional situations exploring themes including accountability, banter, confidence, strategic flexibility, and quiet care, alongside mystery, privacy, creativity, or rebellion. The playful quiz built around the smash-or-pass game offers four choices representing different degrees or combinations of attraction, conditional interest, low chemistry, or disinterest, without forcing every response into a fixed order.

Four profile scores are presented: the highest identifies the strongest affinity, while a result within one point joins a blended result.

Wang and Teoh (2026) provide the closest comparison because their study examines traits associated with fictional crushes alongside ideal standards. This questionnaire is conceptually consistent with that work, not an adaptation of it. Rain and Mar (2021) connect engagement with fictional characters to attachment-related patterns, while van Monsjou and Mar (2019) examine investment in fictional romances. These studies add context but do not validate this online questionnaire.

As an online self-report, it captures reactions to imagined character dynamics rather than stable traits; mood, current fandoms, and self-awareness can shape answers, so the result describes fictional preference rather than diagnosing a person or predicting real-world compatibility.
