Which Emoji Are You?

About this test

There are more than three thousand six hundred emoji in the Unicode standard, and most people use about fifteen. Those fifteen say more about their owner than a long questionnaire does: how they reply, how they stall, how they don't reply, how they close a conversation, how they laugh when things are bad.

This test doesn't ask for your favourite emoji. It asks what you do at 11pm with fifteen unread messages, how you react when someone says something outrageous, and what you text back when you're asked if you're OK and you're not. The emoji comes out of those answers, not your taste.

The eight profiles deliberately overlap on one point: nearly all of them have a specific way of avoiding a hard conversation. Face in clouds vanishes, the laugh deflects, the monocle judges in silence, see-no-evil sews its mouth shut. The interesting result is often the runner-up.

How it works

Every answer is tied to one emoji. We add them up and the one in front takes the result; the percentage breakdown gives you your mix, because nobody is a single emoji across a whole week.
