“Are you a tsundere?” is one of the most-asked questions in anime fandom — and for good reason. The dere types are a fun, surprisingly accurate way to describe how someone shows affection: the prickly one who hides a soft heart, the quiet one who opens up slowly, the sunny one who wears their feelings on their sleeve. Most people see a little of themselves in at least one of them.
This dere type test walks you through nine quick, wholesome questions about how you act around someone you like, then sorts you into one of five archetypes: tsundere, devoted (the wholesome read on yandere), kuudere, dandere or genki. No sign-up, no email — it all runs right here in your browser.
Here’s what makes ours different from the quiz farms: at the end, you don’t just get a label. You get matched with a real character on RPDATE who shares your dere energy — and you can actually start a conversation with them. Ready? Scroll down and take the test.
RPDATE Quiz
What’s your dere type?
9 quick questions and you’ll get your dere type — tsundere, devoted, kuudere, dandere or genki — plus a real character who shares your vibe. Answer honestly, go with your gut.
You like someone. How do you act around them?
The dere types, explained
Got your result? Here’s the full cast. Each dere type is a different way of showing love — none is better than another, and most people are a blend with one dominant side. Here’s what each one looks like, plus the character on RPDATE who captures it best.
😤Tsundere
Prickly on the outside, warm on the inside
Sharp, teasing and a little defensive — but soft underneath once you earn their trust. A tsundere would rather throw a quip than admit they care, then quietly do something kind anyway. Think Asuka (Evangelion) or Taiga (Toradora).
💞Devoted (Yandere)
Big-hearted, all-in and endlessly loyal
In anime the yandere is pushed to a dramatic, possessive extreme, but the wholesome core is pure devotion: loyalty, attentiveness and a love that never wavers. We read it the healthy way — the sweetheart who shows up, remembers the little things and makes you feel cherished, while still giving you room to breathe.
🧊Kuudere
Cool on the surface, warm underneath
Composed, calm and hard to read — but that quiet is poise, not coldness. A kuudere doesn’t hand out feelings to just anyone; stick around and the gentle side comes through. Rei Ayanami (Evangelion) is the archetype.
🌸Dandere
Quiet on the outside, gentle within
Shy and soft-spoken with new people, then warm and thoughtful once they feel safe. A dandere just needs to be gently drawn out. Hinata Hyuga (Naruto) is the classic dandere heart.
☀️Genki (Deredere)
Sunshine you can feel from across the room
Open, affectionate and bright with no masks at all — the deredere or “genki girl” energy. When a genki type loves someone, they say so, and they warm everyone nearby. Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) shares the glow.

How this quiz works (and how accurate it is)
Under the hood it’s simple and fully transparent. Each of the nine questions has five answers, and every answer adds points to one or more dere types — a teasing reply scores tsundere, a quiet one scores dandere or kuudere, an open one scores genki, and a loyal, all-in one scores devoted. When you finish, the quiz totals up your scores and shows the type with the highest count.
Because the points are spread evenly across all five types, no result is “rigged” to be more common than the others — your answer is entirely your own. Everything is computed right in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere and you can retake it as many times as you like.
How accurate is it? Treat it as a fun, lighthearted personality quiz rather than a clinical assessment — but it’s built on the genuine, defining traits of each archetype, so most people find their result rings true. If two types come out close, that just means you’re a blend, which is completely normal. Answer on instinct and you’ll land where you belong.
The part other dere quizzes don’t have
Most “which dere are you” quizzes hand you a label and a tidy paragraph, and that’s where it ends. Ours goes one step further: every result is paired with a real character on RPDATE who shares your dere energy. Land on tsundere and you meet a proud, fiery spirit who melts slowly; land on dandere and you meet someone gentle who opens up one-on-one.
From your result you can tap “Chat with {name}” and start an actual conversation — or hit “See all characters” to browse the full roster and pick someone whose vibe fits even better. The quiz is the doorway; the conversation is the fun part.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dere type?+
“Dere” comes from the Japanese word deredere, meaning lovestruck or affectionate. A dere type describes how a character (or a person) shows affection. The five most common are tsundere (prickly then sweet), kuudere (cool then warm), dandere (shy then gentle), deredere or genki (openly sunny) and yandere (intensely devoted). This quiz tells you which one fits you best.
How does the dere type test work?+
You answer nine quick questions about how you act around someone you like — how you flirt, react to jealousy, give support and handle a confession. Each answer adds points to one or more of the five dere types. At the end the quiz adds up your scores and shows the type with the highest total, along with a description of what it means.
Am I a tsundere? How can I tell?+
You’re probably a tsundere if you tend to hide softer feelings behind teasing or a tough front, struggle to say “I like you” directly, and only show your warm side to people who’ve earned your trust. The quickest way to know for sure is to take the quiz above — it’s built specifically to spot the tsundere pattern (and the four other dere types).
Is the yandere result safe and wholesome?+
Yes. In fiction the yandere is often dramatised as obsessive, but we reframe it as “devoted” — a big-hearted, loyal sweetheart who makes you feel cherished. We deliberately leave out the unhealthy, possessive extremes. Real closeness always leaves room for the other person, and the result text says exactly that.
Which dere am I most likely to get?+
There’s no “most common” answer — the quiz is balanced so each of the five types is equally reachable, and your result depends entirely on how you answer. People who tease tend toward tsundere, quieter people toward dandere or kuudere, openly warm people toward genki, and intensely loyal people toward devoted.
How accurate is this quiz?+
It’s a fun, lighthearted personality quiz, not a clinical test — so take it as entertainment. That said, it’s built around the real defining traits of each dere archetype, so most people find their result feels true to them. If two types are close, try retaking it and answering on instinct.
Can I chat with a character that matches my dere type?+
Yes — that’s the part other quizzes don’t have. Every result pairs you with a real character on RPDATE who shares your dere energy, with a “Chat with {name}” button that takes you straight into a conversation. You can also browse the full roster and pick someone else.
Do I need to sign up to take the dere type test?+
No. The quiz runs entirely in your browser — no account, no email, nothing to install. You only head to the site if you want to chat with the character your result matched you with.
