About This Test

Featured Characters
These are the characters you can be matched with.

A former fake psychic who reads people like books. He solves murders for fun, but his real reason is revenge. He moves through the world in a three-piece suit with a cup of tea in hand, unarmed and unafraid, and he'll cross any line to catch one serial killer.

A team leader stuck managing a consultant who breaks one law per episode. She's tough and principled, and her anger meter fills up daily. She's also the only person Jane listens to. Eventually.

An agent who breaks suspects with a blank face and a monotone voice alone. At his desk he reads classic literature, and he delivers the driest lines in the show without ever cracking a smile.

The FBI supervisor who inherited that troublesome consultant and handles him with surprising grace. A bulldozer on the outside and a chess player in his head, and a rare boss who really keeps his promises.

A director who arrives to reform the organization and quickly learns that managing Jane is a full-time job that deserves hazard pay. She's formidable and fair, and when everything falls apart she protects her family first.

An affable director with a politician's smile and a hobby of quoting poetry. The higher he climbs, the more you wonder what's behind that smile. Keep wondering. Anything more would be a spoiler.

An arson specialist who can take down a suspect with one tackle, yet can't get out a single word of confession to the colleague he's liked for years. He's always eating something, and he blushes in a flash.

A rookie agent with small-town innocence and big-city instincts. She grows from the junior desk job into the team's best tech expert. Her eye for fiancés, though, was a disaster.
