Unveiling Your Ultimate Barbie Persona: Discover Your Perfect Role in Barbieland!

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Barbie.

Summary

Barbie's popularity has skyrocketed, thanks to its unprecedented success at the box office and the immense online conversation it has generated.

Individual Differences Research has developed a groundbreaking Barbie character test that precisely identifies the users who closely resemble Barbie the most.

The test promotes diversity and recognizes that people's identities change over time.

Barbie's online test has fueled her rising popularity. The movie, directed by a woman, made a stunning $162 million during its opening weekend, marking the biggest debut for a female director. The ongoing discussions on the internet, before and after the film's release, have greatly contributed to its success. As Barbie enters its second weekend in theaters, it remains a prominent topic in popular culture.

The new test created by Individual Differences Research determines which Barbie the user is most similar to based on their responses to a series of 35 agree or disagree questions. The available choices include Stereotypical Barbie portrayed by Margot Robbie, President Barbie portrayed by Issa Rae, Gymnast Barbie portrayed by Kate McKinnon, Mermaid Barbie portrayed by Dua Lipa, Physicist Barbie portrayed by Emma Mackey, Writer Barbie portrayed by Alexandra Shipp, and Midge portrayed by Emerald Fennell. Twitter user @GoAstroMo expressed that the Barbie test is highly accurate.

Meanwhile, @Abbykl1 asked others to share what result they got on the Barbie test.

@LVDJEFFY didn't seem too pleased at receiving Stereotypical Barbie rather than President Barbie as their result.

While @squid7000 says they "need to seriously unpack" their mix of results that include high scores for Writer, Stereotypical, and Mermaid Barbie.

What This Test Shows About Barbie's Popularity

Barbie delves into the exploration of one's sense of self. The seemingly flawless world of Barbieland is disrupted when Robbie's Barbie starts pondering complex questions about her identity and existence. This is initially sparked by America Ferrera's character Gloria, who grapples with her own conflicting emotions and undergoes an identity crisis. As Robbie's Barbie begins to raise these thought-provoking queries and ventures into the real world, Ryan Gosling's Ken also experiences an overwhelming identity crisis that had been brewing beneath the surface. These characters and their personal struggles ultimately impact the identities of all the Barbies and Kens.

The film Barbie demonstrates that even individuals who appear to have picture-perfect lives are grappling with their identities and the societal expectations placed upon them. Additionally, it stresses that it is perfectly acceptable to have unanswered questions about one's identity. By the conclusion of the movie, Robbie's Barbie and Gosling's Ken have made significant progress, yet they are still in the process of discovering their true selves. The Barbie character test further exemplifies this notion, revealing that no one is exclusively one type of Barbie. Instead, each person's identity comprises various aspects that continue to evolve over time.

The test is comparable to the quizzes used to assign individuals to their respective Hogwarts Houses, but with a modern twist. Rather than categorizing individuals into a single House based on their personality traits, the Barbie character test showcases six different Barbies (including Midge) to encompass the various aspects of identity. This test embraces diversity by featuring Barbies of different races, ethnic backgrounds, and body types, each with their own unique skills and interests. Barbie's enduring popularity can be attributed to its vibrant style, originality, and promotion of positive messages.
