About This Quiz

Sure, we know you're Bond, James Bond, but which version of the debonair spy are you? Answer these 30 questions, and we'll tell you which Bond you most resemble.

The makers of the James Bond movies have created a unique character who will seemingly live on forever. When one Bond becomes outdated, producers simply replace him with a different Bond - no explanation necessary. At least Dr. Who has infused a reason for the periodic doctor switch and maintains some linear consistency between each doctor rebirth. Not so for Bond. Yet, we can't complain. We've thoroughly enjoyed each incarnation of Mr. Bond, from Sean Connery to Roger Moore to Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig to Timothy Dalton, and we can't wait to continue watching as Bond continues to be portrayed by some of the most suave actors of each generation. In fact, we're looking forward to seeing what the future of Bond holds. So, if you dream of being your own version of Bond or one of the previous Bond players, this quiz is for you. We can tell you which Bond you are based on your responses to each question.
