What Your Favorite Original Sesame Street Character Says About Your Personality

This is a big week of anniversaries: The Berlin Wall yesterday and the first broadcast of Sesame Street 40 years ago today. While the show has changed over the years, with some Muppets falling from favor and many new characters have been added, it was the original set that was defined with specific attributes. Research has shown that the character you most closely identify with is the key to your personality. Dogs & Jeans shares the results today:



Grover
You are childlike and precious with a wild imagination. You frequently take on more that you can handle but are reluctant to ask for help when everything collapses. Even you fantasy alter-egos are impotent. You try to remain active, but no matter how hard you exercise, your arms stay spindly while your ass remains round.

Herry Monster
You are intimidated by the world but put on a gruff exterior that is all for show. Your favorite thing to do is sit and recite the alphabet with one good friend. If you could pick a dream job it would be MMA fighter/shepherd/ballerina.






Ernie
You don’t have a care in the world. You do exactly what you want and don’t worry about the consequences because you believe things always work out somehow. You like practical jokes, spaghetti, umbrellas and cereal. You have a borderline bathing obsession and are frequently hospitalized for scrubbing much of your skin raw in overly alkaline bath water.










The Yip Yips
You have a natural curiosity about the world, but your research skills are sorely lacking. Language is not your first strength, but you make up for it in with an attention to detail. Your ability to remain focused or pull your bottom lip over your face when threatened has won you many friends.






Kermit the Frog
You feel superior to the people around you and are endlessly frustrated when they screw up, even though you expect it. You were made for greater things but no matter how hard you try, something (or someone) prevents your success. However, each time you think about giving up and retreating from society, you worry a group of bananas or rubber balls won’t get counted properly unless you do it yourself.








Oscar the Grouch
You are the proverbial “nice person” who desperately wants to tell people what you really feel. You curse out the drivers in front of you when you are alone in the car and keep lists of people who have wronged you. You are a packrat but tell yourself you’d be neat and organized if only you had storage space. Mostly you just want to sit at home and cry and wish people would stop coming to the door. Your dream is to someday be a hermit or shut-in.







Big Bird
You’re gay.












Cookie Monster
You have boundary issues with other people, are frequently aggressive and can be perceived as being a bully. However, you feel unfulfilled with everything you have and are only seeking to find the love you didn’t receive as a child. As long as your pursuit of satisfaction does not extend to alcohol or drugs, you are relatively harmless. On the plus side, you are an excellent singer.






Burt
You are a rock in a world gone mad. Your day is never done and it’s all you can do to keep order. What’s worse is you feel nobody cares if things are done right or not. However, this makes you feel valuable so you have unconsciously infantilized everyone around you to the point where that are completely dependent on you. That heart attack can’t come soon enough.
