What Type of True Crime Fan Are You Quiz
True crime is one of the most popular genres in podcasting, documentary, and streaming, and the people who engage with it do so for genuinely different reasons. The person who is tracking the evidence discrepancies is doing something quite different from the person who cannot stop thinking about the families, and both of them are doing something different from the person who is asking why the system failed and what changed afterwards. This quiz works out which of those five approaches is most naturally yours.
The questions in this quiz are about how you engage with true crime content, not about the cases themselves. Answer based on what you actually look for when you press play rather than what you think you should be interested in, and the result will be more accurate than you expect.
The breakdown at the end shows your full true crime fan profile. Share it with someone you listen to podcasts with and see if they agree with where we put you.
FAQ
How many possible results are there?
Five: The Analyst, The Empath, The Psychology Buff, The Justice Campaigner, and The Casual Consumer. Each one represents a different reason for engaging with the genre and a different kind of attention brought to it.
What if I engage differently depending on the case?
Answer based on your most consistent approach across the genre as a whole. Most people have a dominant mode of engagement even when specific cases pull them in different directions.
Can I get a different result if I retake it?
Yes. The answer options shuffle on every play, and a slightly different mood often shifts the result. If you were torn between two options on a few questions it is worth running it again.
What if my result does not feel like me?
Look at the full true crime profile rather than just the top result. Most people have a clear primary type with a recognisable secondary one, and the percentages usually show that more honestly than the single answer does.
