The Dilbert cartoon has been with us for 15+ years and has become very popular in the corporate environment.

No doubt, if you are taking this quiz you are familiar with the Dilbert cartoon, and may already have an idea of which character you are most like.

Are you most like Dilbert, The Boss, Dogbert, Wally, Catbert, Ratbert, or one of the other popular characters? This personality profile will attempt to clarify or solidify your beliefs as to which character is the embodiment of you.
