What’s Your Wick-sona?
It’s John Wick’s underworld. We’re just living in it.
For now.
John Wick 3: Parabellum comes out today, starring Keanu Reeves as everyone’s favorite heartbroken killer of killers (and the bespoke suit game). Quirk authors Kitty Curran and Larissa Zageris took a break from writing For Your Consideration: Keanu Reeves (out Nov 5) to create this quiz for you to take during your downtime at The Continental.
Answer the questions below (with minimal bloodshed, please) to discover which shadowy corner of John Wick’s New York best suits you.

YOUR WICK-SONA:
MOSTLY As?
You are good company and a better shot. You are …
THE FRIEND FROM WORK
You may appear sketchy, you may in fact be sketchy, but your heart is as gold as any assassin-approved coin. And to be honest, you are a little worried about John right now. Though not as worried as you are about everyone standing near him
MOSTLY Bs?
You honor us with your services. You are…
THE AWARD-WINNING STAFF
Life’s a dirty game, but you still give it the white-glove service. When the gloves come off, though—they are systematically destroyed along with any other evidence of misdeeds or general unpleasantness.
MOSTLY Cs?
Being good just isn’t your style. You are…
THE UNDERWORLD OVERLORD
You are a citizen of the world. Your world. You enjoy a fine scotch, long walks on the beach, and making sure any loose ends are tied up in the most violent way possible.
MOSTLY Ds?
You are the light in the dark. You are…
THE TRAGICALLY LOST LOVE
Sweet, selfless, and devoted, you knew you would love John with all your heart until the day you died. Unfortunately, that was very, very recently.
