About This Quiz

Would you rather be rich and lonely or broke and happy? Throughout our "Overboard" quiz, we will examine the things that make you happiest in life, the way you live your life and your thoughts about the future. The 1987 classic starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell not only left Rom-Com fans screaming for more, but it also left audiences questioning their true needs and desires in life!

You might see yourself as spoiled like pre-accident Joanna or you could see yourself as humble as Dean, but the only real way to find out which character you are really like is to get an objective view! The way we've designed our questions will pick out tiny bits of information about your personality traits. Then, we'll examine them against the traits held by Edith, Grant, Joanna, or Dean to find out how similar you are in your thinking about everything from relationships to riches.

Make sure you fasten your life jacket before you board the yacht! The way you answer will tell us if you would risk it all for a diamond ring or if you value everyday moments more than you value wealth. You won't have to go "Overboard" to find out! All you have to do is start the quiz!
