About This Test
The Hecks of Orson, Indiana live without glamour or a mansion, and that is exactly why The Middle became one of TV's most lovable family comedies. Frankie's perpetually exhausted optimism, Axl's shirtless teenage swagger, Sue's unbreakable and unrewarded enthusiasm, Brick's whispered quirks.
Pull up a stool at the Hecks' kitchen counter. Mike, Mr. Ehlert, Sean and Reverend TimTom are around it too, and a photo tells you whose face you inherited.
Our AI analyzes your photo to find which of these 8 characters you resemble most. Powered by deep-learning face recognition, you get instant results to share with friends. Your photo is used only for analysis and is never stored.
Featured Characters
These are the characters you can be matched with.
A chronically exhausted mom who narrates her family's chaos from the driver's seat of a dying minivan. She's bad at selling cars and heroic at parenting. She gets by on drive-thru food and sheer self-delusion.
A dad who manages a quarry. He communicates in shrugs and one-liners, plus the occasional "hm." He loves his family deeply, from a comfortable emotional distance of ten feet.
The oldest son, who treats pants as optional and effort as an insult. He struts around the house in his boxers and coasts on charm, and by the end he somehow turns out okay.
The middle child who failed every tryout in the school's history and celebrated every rejection like a win. The most tirelessly positive person in TV history. Oh, and it's Sue Heck!
The youngest, who likes books better than people and whispers what he just said back to himself. (Whisper: "back to himself.") His passion in life is fonts. Real typefaces.
A car dealership owner who insults customers and employees and America in the same breath. Frankie's boss and tormentor, and sometimes, by accident, a philosopher.
The ideal boy next door. Polite and pre-med, and devoted to his mother. He spends ten years oblivious to the girl next door's feelings, then realizes everything at once at the end. Finally.
A youth pastor who answers every teenage worry with an acoustic guitar and a suspiciously catchy original song. Strangely, it works every time.
