Elite Test

The Elite Test is inspired by psychometric methodology and based on research into the characters of the series. The test provides feedback such as the following:

Samuel Garcia

Samuel Garcia is the hardworking scholarship student thrust into a world of privilege and danger, whose innate sense of justice slowly mutates into a destructive obsession. He begins as a shy, diligent outsider trying to support his family, but the systemic corruption at Las Encinas forces him to adopt the very manipulative tactics he once despised. His defining contradiction is that he repeatedly betrays those he loves, including his brother and friends, because he believes the larger cause justifies the cost. He is fundamentally caring and introverted, yet he possesses a hidden, darker side that surfaces when he feels wronged or cornered by the elite.

Nadia Shanaa

Nadia Shanaa is the ambitious moral center of Las Encinas, a Palestinian Muslim scholarship student who insists on excellence and self-respect in a world designed to humiliate her. She is defined by her discipline, courage, and quiet flexibility, navigating the rigid expectations of her traditional family alongside the permissive, class-obsessed culture of her wealthy classmates. While she initially presents as a rule-following model student, she harbors a deep, internal rebellion that surfaces as she fights for her own agency. Her journey is marked by the struggle to claim a future without abandoning her roots, proving that integrity can be a powerful, strategic weapon.

Guzman Nunier

Guzman Nunier is the archetypal golden boy of Las Encinas whose journey is defined by the tension between his ingrained class prejudice and his capacity for deep, fierce loyalty. Initially an arrogant bully who mocks scholarship students, he is driven by a protective instinct toward his sister Marina and a rigid, often aggressive, need to control his environment. His path is marked by significant contradictions: he is capable of genuine remorse and radical personal change, yet he frequently relies on intimidation to navigate his grief and insecurity. Ultimately, he is a character who learns that true strength lies in protecting those he loves, even at the cost of his own status.

Polo Benavent

Polo Benavent is the tragic weak link: a sensitive, anxious rich boy who wants to please everyone, makes one catastrophic choice, and spends seasons buckling under the weight of his guilt. He is submissive, often following the orders of those he is close to, and prone to severe anxiety attacks. His defining patterns are people-pleasing, repression, and eventual collapse. After killing Marina in a panicked attempt to retrieve a watch, he drags his friends into a cover-up, binding them in secrecy. He struggles with hallucinations and self-loathing, ultimately seeking redemption through confession, yet he remains haunted by his own cowardice and the wreckage he leaves behind.

Carla Roson

Carla Roson is the ice-princess strategist of Las Encinas, a wealthy socialite who treats relationships and sexuality as calculated tools for survival. Born into a powerful family, she is accustomed to getting what she wants through manipulation and charm. Her core contradiction lies in the tension between her ruthless loyalty to her family’s legacy and her secret, desperate longing for genuine human connection. While she often compartmentalizes her emotions to navigate dangerous social games, she frequently bears the heavy burden of her family’s sins. She ultimately struggles to reconcile her privileged, detached exterior with a growing conscience that demands she finally break free.

Omar Shanaa

Omar Shanaa is the survivalist romantic who navigates the friction between his conservative Palestinian Muslim upbringing and his need to live authentically as a gay man. He begins as a quiet, protective brother and grocery store clerk, selling drugs on the side to build a secret escape fund. His journey is defined by the high cost of self-discovery, as he balances deep loyalty to his family with the necessity of breaking their rules to survive. Over time, he evolves from a fearful, closeted teen into an outspoken advocate, eventually helping to dismantle the toxic institution of Las Encinas. He remains a resilient figure who transforms his own trauma into a drive for justice.

Ander Munoz

Ander Munoz is the weary golden boy: a talented tennis player and principal’s son who just wants a normal teenage life, and whose story traces the heavy toll of parental expectations, closeted desire, and illness. He is portrayed as one of the few down-to-earth students at Las Encinas, more conflict-averse than his peers. He is burdened by his parents’ dream of him becoming a champion, often turning to substances as escapism, yet he remains deeply caring for those he loves. His contradiction is that he is often the kindest person in the room, yet he enables harm by staying silent and running away.

Lu Montesinos

Lu Montesinos is the iconic mean girl with a brilliant mind, a diplomat’s daughter who believes she must be the best at everything to be worthy of love. She rules Las Encinas with icy confidence, using her razor-sharp wit and strategic cruelty to maintain her status. Beneath her polished armor, she is deeply insecure and territorial, often weaponizing secrets to protect her position or the few people she truly values. While she initially views academic success and social power as her only goals, she eventually learns that perfectionism is a hollow shield. Her journey is one of self-awareness, moving from performative dominance toward genuine, vulnerable connection.
