The 100 Test

The 100 Test is inspired by psychometric methodology and based on research into the characters of the book series. The test provides feedback such as the following:

John Murphy

John Murphy is the survivor-scapegoat who evolves from a self-serving outcast into a reluctant protector. Born into a cycle of trauma and blame on the Ark, he initially uses cruelty and manipulation as armor to navigate a world that consistently casts him as the villain. His defining contradiction is the tension between his cynical insistence that he only cares about his own survival and his recurring, often dangerous, choices to protect the people he loves. Whether he is acting as a snarky loner or a devoted partner to Emori, he remains a grounded, cynical presence who questions the messianic rhetoric of others.

Monty Green

Monty Green is the thoughtful engineer and farmer whose conscience constantly clashes with the brutal math of survival. Arrested for stealing herbs on the Ark, he becomes the group’s indispensable expert in chemistry and agriculture. His archetype is the gentle problem-solver who prefers building to destroying. Monty is defined by his intellect, deep loyalty, and a persistent desire to find non-violent solutions. He is haunted by the choices he makes to save his people, yet he remains the show’s clearest voice for long-term thinking. Ultimately, he chooses a life of stewardship, steering humanity toward a new world and a peaceful future.

Raven Reyes

Raven Reyes is the genius mechanic whose body and mind are both a battlefield and an engine room. Raised in poverty on the Ark, she survives through sheer technical brilliance and an iron will. She is the indispensable problem-solver who builds radios, weapons, and life-saving technology under impossible pressure. Her core contradiction is that she can fix any machine, yet she remains unable to fix her own chronic physical pain or the emotional toll of the lives lost during her missions. She holds herself to a brutal standard of accountability, often lashing out or shutting down when she feels vulnerable or dependent on others.

Bellamy Blake

Bellamy Blake is the charismatic agitator who evolves into a reluctant leader, defined by his fierce devotion to his younger sister, Octavia. His archetype is the big-brother protector whose primary motive is the safety of his people. He is a man of action who often makes impulsive, high-stakes decisions, only to be crushed by the weight of his own guilt when those choices lead to tragedy. His main contradiction lies in his desperate need for meaning; he is easily swayed by extremist ideologies that promise absolution for his past atrocities. He remains the emotional heart of his group, constantly balancing his protective instincts against the moral cost of survival.

Clarke Griffin

Clarke Griffin is a principled, headstrong medic who becomes the de facto leader of the 100 the moment their dropship hits Earth. She is defined by an almost compulsive sense of responsibility for her community, often shouldering the burden of impossible choices to ensure their survival. Her journey marks a transition from an idealistic healer to a hardened strategist frequently forced to act as an executioner. Her core contradiction lies in her desire to save everyone while repeatedly pulling the lever on decisions that cost innocent lives. She remains rational under extreme pressure, masking her deep trauma and exhaustion behind a commander’s mask.

Octavia Blake

Octavia Blake is the hidden child turned war queen who defines herself through constant reinvention. Born as an illegal second child on the Ark, she spends her early life beneath the floorboards, fostering a fierce hunger for freedom and identity. On Earth, she sheds her status as a victim to become a lethal warrior, eventually rising to lead the bunker survivors as the ruthless Blodreina. Her core contradiction lies in her desperate longing for belonging, which often drives her toward authoritarianism and isolation. She is defined by her confrontational nature, her refusal to accept traditional authority, and her eventual journey toward atonement and peace.

Lexa

Lexa is the commander of the Grounder Coalition, a stoic war leader shaped by early trauma and the crushing weight of leadership. She ascends to power as a child, learning to prioritize the survival of her people above all personal desires. Her core contradiction lies in her attempt to suppress her own humanity, believing that love is a weakness that threatens her authority. While she initially views the world through a cold, strategic lens, her connection with Clarke forces her to confront the possibility that life should be about more than just surviving. She remains a symbol of duty, discipline, and the heavy cost of peace.
