Are you more of a steely robopsychologist or a rugged archaeologist?

Which Badass Movie Scientist Are You?

As a robopsychologist in _I, Robot_, a series by sci-fi legend Isaac Asimov, Susan Calvin was a strong character that kept a level head. You kick ass in your field, don't put up with nonsense, and know when to deliver a sick burn. Though she's a bit watered down in the movie, Calvin is renowned as immensely successful — and as not liking humans very much. When asked, "Are robots so different from men?", she says, "Worlds different. Robots are essentially decent."

An inventor who accidentally shrinks his own kids, Wayne is as intelligent as he is ingenious. You persevere even when everything seems to gave gone down the toilet (or in the cereal bowl, where one of his kids ends up). You're deeply loyal to your family and always have something brewing in the back of your mind, whether it be ideas, problem-solving, or just mulling over how to make an impact among the millions of us in society.

Wayne Szalinski

Calamity finds you, but not always in a bad way. Originally a Disney film released in the 1960s titled "The Absent-Minded Professor," Robin Williams portrayed Philip in the reboot as a researcher on the lookout for new energy sources. He accidentally creates the bounce-crazed Flubber, a lovable, stretchy pile of goo with some mean dance moves. You're charming, albeit a little clumsy sometimes, and you make others laugh, even if it's at your own expense — and that makes you universally lovable.

Professor Philip Brainard

As head of research for all of James Bonds' secret gadgets, Q was an intuitive, loyal man with no qualms about telling 007 when he was being a turd. His inventiveness and humor made him a legend. And like him, you're a no-nonsense force. Even though sometimes you operate behind-the-scenes, without you, there would be no explosive watches or remote-controlled car to aid a special agent.

Tenacious and brave, Ryan Stone survived hurtling through the abyss of space and landing back on Earth despite seemingly impossible circumstances. You're a fighter, and even though you have moments of self-doubt, you deliver — and can still crack a joke. You might even be a little introverted, and like Ryan, love moments of sweet, blissful silence.

Ryan Stone

You're intellectual and resourceful — and maybe even a little rugged. Like Indiana, adventure finds you. You smell of leather and tweed, and you have a bit of a dry wit. You act with conviction and have no problem dealing with ancient booby traps, among other important archaeological endeavors. Though you're a bit of a lone wolf, you don't mind having a small sidekick from time to time for company. After all, you're an American hero.

Indiana Jones

As a meteorologist, Jo was bold enough to drive _toward_ a storm, and like her, you don't mind some strong winds on the way to becoming successful. Flying cows don't bother you, and neither do smaller, less bovine obstacles. You're not as frilly than others, and when someone threatens your work, you gun to get the credit you deserve.

Jo Harding

Like the beloved _Back to the Future_ inventor, you're passionate about your craft. Doc looked like a mad scientist, but he couldn't help being inundated with all those brilliant thoughts. Others might see you as a little aloof at times, but that's just because you're cooking something up in there while everyone else is blabbing about things way less important than time travel. You have a hint of eccentricity, and that's what makes you fun. Plus, you have a pretty sweet ride.

Doc Brown

Even though she waited for years, Ellie Arroway was relentless about pursuing signs of extraterrestrial life — and she succeeded. Deciphering gobbledygook sent from space isn't easy, but like her, you're stubborn and don't stop wondering about what the skies can tell us. Based on a novel by famed astronomer Carl Sagan of the same title, _Contact_ is about perseverance, and even though you don't have to convince world governments for support, you do what you need to do to get the job done.

Eleanor Arroway

Ellie Sattler was one of the biggest badass scientists in movie history, khaki shorts and all. As a paleobotanist, she studied fossilized plants, and like her, you're brainy and a little impatient with how slow it takes people to process things sometimes. You spot mistakes and aren't afraid to point them out. You're also energetic and would totally risk your safety to get the power back up on an island filled with dinosaurs, even if it means warding off raptors. And for that bravery, we thank you.

Zapping apparitions isn't easy, especially with that heavy equipment, but like Peter, you're a Ghostbuster at heart. You coat your sentiments with sarcasm, but inside you're still a mushy sweetheart with good intent. You're laid-back and consider a little slime part of the job — and you're charming as hell, which helps when you're in the middle of wooing a love interest. No one can top your wit, and you know it.

Peter Venkman

In _Jurassic Park_, Ian was a not-so-hidden gem of sex appeal. He specialized in chaos theory, which as he puts is the study of unpredictability in complex systems, or the butterfly effect. Like him, you prod others' thinking, and your brain is always churning with complex thoughts. It's hard being right (and sexy) all the time, but someone's gotta do it.
