Futurama Character Test

The IDRLabs Futurama Character Test is inspired by psychometric methodology and based on research into the characters in the show. The test provides feedback such as the following:

Philip J. Fry

Philip J. Fry is the beating human heart of the 31st century — an ordinary delivery boy flung into extraordinary times. His goofy grin and reckless optimism light the neon gloom of the future, reminding everyone that sincerity still matters. Though naïve and impulsive, Fry’s courage emerges from love — his devotion to Leela and his friends transforms foolishness into heroism. Beneath the slacker charm lies a man discovering purpose in chaos, growing wiser without losing his childlike awe. He stumbles through time and destiny with a grin, teaching that kindness outlasts technology and that even in a world of robots and mutants, a simple, open heart can still save the universe.

Turanga Leela

Turanga Leela stands as both warrior and dreamer — a one-eyed captain navigating galaxies and her own yearning for belonging. Born a mutant, she forged herself into strength: disciplined, fearless, and fiercely moral. Yet behind her sharp wit and command lies loneliness, the ache of someone who’s had to prove her worth to everyone, even herself. Her struggles reveal the tension between independence and the longing for love, between control and vulnerability. Through compassion and courage, Leela learns that leadership isn’t about perfection but empathy. She embodies resilience — the rare beauty of a soul toughened by rejection yet still capable of tenderness. Her single eye sees more truth than most humans ever will.

Bender Bending Rodríguez

Bender Bending Rodríguez is chaos incarnate — a cigar-smoking, beer-swilling, metal anarchist who somehow, inexplicably, has a heart. His greed, ego, and criminal genius mask a strange, grudging loyalty to his crew. Bender lives for excess: he steals, lies, gambles, and laughs in the face of consequence, yet beneath the debauchery flickers something almost human — the pain of loneliness, the longing to belong. His evolution from narcissistic outlaw to reluctant friend mirrors the messy miracle of redemption. In Bender’s clanking, amoral frame lives the paradox of freedom: the desire to live utterly for oneself, and the secret joy of realizing life means more when shared — even with squishy meatbags.

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth is brilliance on the brink of madness — a frail old man whose inventions bend time, life, and sanity. He is both god and fool, shaping universes with trembling hands while muttering about doomsday devices and forgotten experiments. His cracked genius drives the adventures of Planet Express, yet beneath the wild hair and lab coat flickers paternal warmth, a gnarled affection for his chaotic “family.” Farnsworth embodies the perils of unchecked curiosity and the dark comedy of intellect divorced from ethics. His mind births wonders and disasters in equal measure, proving that genius without compassion is just another form of insanity. In his madness glows humanity’s eternal, reckless thirst to know more.

Amy Wong

Amy Wong sparkles with Martian luxury and infectious energy — a rich girl in designer boots, stumbling through adulthood one misadventure at a time. At first she’s a caricature of privilege: giggly, clumsy, and spoiled. Yet beneath the surface lies a tender heart and surprising competence, especially when loyalty or love are on the line. Over time, Amy transforms — still fun-loving, but more grounded, turning insecurity into confidence and indulgence into independence. Her arc mirrors the messy beauty of growing up: learning that identity isn’t inherited, it’s earned. Amy embodies joy, emotional honesty, and the courage to keep shining in a universe that often confuses wealth with worth.

Hermes Conrad

Hermes Conrad is the unsung hero of bureaucracy — a man whose soul finds rhythm in paperwork and order amid madness. A meticulous accountant with a Jamaican lilt and a heart full of reggae spirit, Hermes keeps Planet Express from imploding under its own nonsense. Behind his obsession with rules lies a once-great athlete, a family man who channels passion into precision. His story is one of balance: logic meeting love, structure meeting soul. Hermes teaches that heroism doesn’t always roar — sometimes it stamps, files, and double-checks. He embodies diligence, pride, and quiet resilience, proving that even in a universe spinning out of control, discipline can be its own kind of poetry.

Dr. John A. Zoidberg

Dr. John A. Zoidberg is the galaxy’s most tragic clown — a woeful lobster-alien physician whose medical ineptitude is matched only by his loneliness. Homeless, starving, and ridiculed, Zoidberg lumbers through life with bottomless optimism and childlike sincerity. His grotesque habits and comic failures make him an outcast, yet his heart — big, awkward, and pure — never hardens. Beneath the stink of despair lies a moving portrait of dignity: an immigrant creature yearning for acceptance in a world that laughs at him. Zoidberg’s misfortunes reveal the nobility of resilience, the comedy of survival, and the strange grace of those who keep loving, even when nobody loves them back.
