Zoinks! Jinkies! It’s ‘those meddling kids’ and that talking Great Dane! That’s right-I’m talking about the gang from Mystery Incorporated: Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Dooby-DOO! We all know them as the most popular paranormal investigators/crime solvers in all of TV land, but what would happen if we all had someone as prissy as Daphne, or as smart as Velma, or even as big of a scaredy-cat as Shaggy in our lives? Better yet- what if you can relate to one of these five? I have categorized each of the characters from Scooby-Doo and have analyzed their personalities carefully, having found myself to be closely similar to none other than Velma, right down to the bookworm trait and hair. Who are you most like?

SHAGGY
If you enjoy 1960s-70s memorabilia, being lazy, eating your hourly dose of Scooby Snaks, or if you wish you could reverse time and make that trip to Woodstock, then your personality is almost an equal match to that of Shaggy! Your friends love you for your gullibility, naturally comedic acts, and for your kind spirit and friendly nature. However, they wish you could get over your strange fear of the things that go bump in the night and straighten up your eating habits.

DAPHNE
If you can’t leave your house for five seconds without piling on the makeup, take 45 minutes to select your outfit for the day, or are always seeming to get yourself in some kind of trouble, you are similar to Daphne. Your friends admire you for your fashion sense, and you are able to win over any guy with the wink of your eye. The only rotten part? Constantly getting kidnapped by the bad guys.

FRED
If you consider yourself to be the leader of your group of friends or if you have a large selection for neckties and scarves, you may be like Fred. People like you for your take charge, getting-things-done attitude. This trait, if used too often, can also tend to get on people’s nerves-they would see you as being bossy.

VELMA
If you are seen as the “mother hen” of your friends, or pride yourself in making good grades, or perhaps hold the record for the largest book collection east of the Mississippi, you may have the same personality as Velma. Your peers admire you for your brains and always making sure that proper research has been done. The only negative part, in my opinion, is that your brain would swell up from knowledge overload.

SCOOBY
It may be difficult, even a little offensive, to think that you have a personality similar to that of a dog, but hear me out. If you like to eat as much as Shaggy and are equally as jumpy, have a “heeeheeeheee” kind of laugh, and are loved by all, you may have a personality like Scooby! Your pals love you for obvious reasons, and like I said, the only downside would be to think that you are that similar to a dog.
