Do you wear your heart on your sleeve, like Carrie? Perhaps you’re a traditional and optimistic Charlotte or a hardworking, no-nonsense Miranda. Maybe you’re a sexy and confident Samantha—or maybe you’re some combination of multiple characters!
Whether you’re a diehard fan of the original iconic TV show or you love the movies and reboot too, this quiz is for you. Revisit the Sex and the City world with us to discover which of these four modern women trying to make it in bustling NYC you really are!
Questions Overview
- The charming Mr. Big, a.k.a. John Preston. Their love story had its fair share of obstacles, but when it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.
- Outdoorsy furniture designer Aidan Shaw. Total golden retriever boyfriend!
- Writer Jack Berger: cute, funny, and they had so much in common. (OK, the Post-It note breakup was super uncool, but other than that…)
- Aleksandr Petrovsky. A brilliant and sexy Russian artist who’ll whisk you off to Paris? Swoon.
- Hotel magnate Richard Wright. Handsome, mature—OK, maybe kind of a scumbag. Don’t judge me!
- Actor Smith Jerrod. Super hot and utterly devoted! He’s the total package.
- Artist Maria Diega Reyes. Creative, passionate, and sensitive—and she challenged Samantha in valuable ways.
- None of them—why should she be tied down by a relationship?
- Comedian Che Diaz. Sure, it was a messy relationship, but when it feels right, it’s worth it to go all in.
- Sweet, tenderhearted Skipper Johnston.
- Bartender Steve Brady—even the most cynical workaholic can’t resist his charm and sensitivity.
- Dr. Robert Leeds: pure walking sex—and he can cook, to boot!
- Her first husband, wealthy WASP Trey MacDougal. OK, so they weren’t a forever match—but they really had something!
- Her second husband, divorce attorney Harry Goldenblatt—sweet, hardworking, and completely over the moon for her.
- Ned, the guy who lied about being a widower to get Charlotte to date him. The cynic in me loves to be proven right now and then.
- Baird Johnson, the artist who photographs Charlotte dressed as a man. He gave Charlotte the chance to explore a new side of herself.
- Chic as can be. I’m a total fashionista and I’m always following the hottest new trends!
- Fashionable and sexy, but still clean and conservative. I want to look nice, but I don’t want too much attention.
- I try to be stylish, but I’m also concerned with looking professional. I need to be taken seriously.
- Bold, glamorous, and drop-dead gorgeous! I’ll wear anything that can turn a head.
- I think so—but I’m not sure. I’ll get back to you on that. Maybe?
- Definitely yes! Fairytales can come true, I’m telling you.
- No. I think you need to get to know somebody first before you can really love each other.
- No way. Lust at first sight? Sure! But love? Doubtful.
- Words of affirmation and quality time.
- Quality time and acts of service.
- Gift-giving and acts of service.
- Physical touch and quality time.
- Why, Sex and the City , of course! It’s got everything you could want from a show.
- The Great British Bakeoff . It’s so quaint and relaxing.
- Some swoony romantic British drama—I work hard and need a little escape now and then.
- Some trashy reality show like The Bachelor or Love Island . I get a kick out of all the drama.
- The local diner. Cozy, casual, and the perfect place for catching up with friends.
- My house! I love to entertain. I’ve already set up an elegant, tasteful brunch spread in my perfectly Instagrammable dining room.
- Wherever has the best coffee—I’ve always got time for my pals, but I’m a busy bee and I need my caffeine!
- That upscale cafe that just opened—I’m always down to try something new and exciting.
- Libra, Gemini, or Sagittarius
- Capricorn, Aquarius, or Pisces
- Leo, Cancer, or Virgo
- Taurus, Aries, or Scorpio
- I’m the older-sibling type: whatever they’re going through, I can probably relate, and I’ll offer whatever advice I can.
- I’m like a loving parent: I’ll support them no matter what, but I have their best interests at heart.
- I’m the tough-but-fair friend: I’m always there for them, but I’m not afraid to tell them what they need to hear.
- I’m the wild and adventurous enabler: I’ll take them out for a night on the town to distract them. They can deal with their problems later!
- Stop by the bookstore to browse for a while, then do a little shopping.
- A visit to the art museum, followed by a romantic walk in Central Park.
- Who’s got the afternoon off? I’m working morning ’til night.
- Working out at the gym…and, OK, flirting with my hot personal trainer.
- I could see myself settling down with the right person…but there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a fling until it happens.
- I might be able to do a committed relationship, but I won’t compromise my independence for anyone.
- I prefer casual relationships over serious commitments any day! Way less drama.
- I think casual relationships are all right, as long as everyone is on the same page so nobody gets hurt.
- I go to great lengths for love. If it’s true love, it’s worth the sacrifice.
- I’m not afraid to put myself out there, even if it means I get hurt or make a fool of myself.
- I’m dedicated to my career and my independence, but I still make time for my friends.
- I’m a total fashion icon, and I know how to make a statement anywhere I go.
- If I’m being honest, sometimes I can prioritize what’s going on in my life over my friends or partners.
- I can be a tad close-minded towards people who don’t operate like me. But I’m working on it, I swear!
- I come off a little uptight and judgmental at times, but I promise it’s all out of love.
- Flaws? Me? …OK, I guess sometimes I can be a ''tad'' stubborn.
- Chemistry and compatibility
- Loyalty and communication
- Sexual attraction and regular hot dates
- True love and shared values

More on Sex and the City
Sex and the City
is an HBO rom-com drama TV series created by Darren Starr based on the newspaper columns and books by Candace Bushnell. The show centers on the lives of 4 New York City women in their 30s and 40s who are best friends, despite their very different personalities:
Carrie Bradshaw , played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Carrie, the show’s narrator, is a sex columnist and fashionista. While occasionally irresponsible (both financially and in relationships), she’s insightful, creative, and devoted to her friends.
Charlotte York , played by Kristin Davis. Charlotte, an art dealer from a wealthy Connecticut family, is considered the most innocent, idealistic, and conservative of the foursome.
Miranda Hobbes , played by Cynthia Nixon. Miranda is a fiery, hardworking, career-minded lawyer. She can be a bit cynical about relationships and men, and she values her independence over just about everything, but she’s a loyal and protective friend.
Samantha Jones
, played by Kim Cattrall. Samantha works as a successful publicist. Generally considered to be the most experienced of the four, Samantha is confident, sexy, and adventurous.
The iconic show first aired in 1998 and ended in 2004, after 6 seasons, but its popularity resulted in 2 spin-off movies, Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010), as well as a reboot TV series, And Just Like That… , which aired on HBO in 2021.
