If you're always the hostess who's obsessed with cleaning, cooking and winning, your favorite character is likely Monica Geller (Courteney Cox).

The same thing has probably happened to you, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing! After all, there's nothing wrong with liking things a certain way and wanting to ensure every item and space in your home sparkles.

While you may be perceived as a bit simple-minded at times, that is the furthest thing from the truth. You just prefer spending time with your best friends over reading a book, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Of all the Friends characters, Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) just might be the funniest, thanks to his knack for both sarcasm and laugh-out-loud humor.

You're also most likely a devoted parent, sibling or friend and will do anything to protect the ones you love. People might think you can be a little selfish and rude at times, but it's really your way of trying to keep those closest to you happy and safe.

You're also passionate about your work (bonus points if you're a teacher or professor... or a paleontologist) and love being able to tell people everything there is to know about what you do.
