Which Little House on the Prairie Character are you? Take the exclusive Little House on the Prairie Personality Quiz to find out!

Whether you are a shining star hard to ignore like Laura, or a quiet soul who supports others behind the scenes, you are sure to align with one of the Little House on the Prairie Characters. Take the quiz below and find out which character you resemble most! Is it Mary, Pa, Miss Beadle, Nels Olsen, Hester-Sue or someone else?

Who did you get? We’d love to hear. Be sure you check out the TV Show page to buy the remastered complete collection on DVD, Blu-ray, or Digital HD. Stay informed about the latest Little House news by subscribing to our free newsletter.

    I got Mary! I really wanted Mary because I’m a innovator and an intellectual. I make no excuses for being intelligent and put it to good use. I am an educator and problem solver by nature. Problems are just things I love to tackle- I love the challenge!

    It seems I’m like Caroline ‘Ma’ Ingalls
    You are a problem solver. You see possibilities. Despite being selective in those with whom you associate with, you are fiercely supportive to those that you love.
    Sounds about right.

    I got Rev. Alden. I always thought I would be a Laura but that is pretty spot-on now that I think about it.

    I got Caroline “Ma” Ingalls. I love each character including Nellie & Willie Olsen. I have been able to learn a great deal from watching Little House on the Prairie several times. It’s halped me a lot, I didn’t think it would help as much as it has.
    I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Thank you for your great & encouraging newsletters about some of the characters you’ve made & the great & encouraging newsletters about some of the actors & actresses. Your talent is incredibly amazing, unique & special.

    I got Reverend Alden, which makes sense to me. Just scanning the other responses, and it looks like no one has confessed to being a Nellie! Puzzles me how anyone could be a Grace, though, since there was very limited development of her character in the books, and almost none in the series.

    I apparently am Grace Edwards. I would never have guessed her, but after reading the description, it is definitely me!

    I got Hester Sue Terhune! Reading about how I’m like her at the end of the quiz actually makes sense that I got her.

    I got Miss beadle. I’m kinda let down, because I think she doesn’t have much of a personality, except she’s her students’ confidante. I mean, not that she’s terrible or anything, I think she’s actually really sweet, but I don’t think I’m much like her.

    I got Ms. Beadle – You are supportive, caring, considerate and giving. You are passionate about those whom you believe in and are fiercely loyal. You care about education and are probably a teacher. Sounds like me, sans the teacher part 🙂

    I got Nels Olsen. I can’t say I’m disappointed. He always seemed pretty sensible to me

    I got Miss Beadle the school teacher. That was the perfect one for me. I wanted to be ateacher but never made it to college. Instead I worked in our local achool district as an instructional assistant and actually did worked with students in small groups for spelling and math. So In many ways idid teach for several years.

    Pa Ingalls – You are responsible and highly sensitive to your environment. You are loyal to your family and tradition. You are generous with your time and energy for the good of others. Have you ever thought of being an advocate or city leader?

    I picked Charles Ingalls and I can honestly relate to his strength, wisdom and care for his family. Obviously he had strong family values although he and his family lived very simply and without many of the luxuries we have today.

    I got Charles “Pa” Ingalls. It makes sense, because I usually put the needs of others first, and I love my family and consider most of my friends family. I just Quoted him yesterday. I said “As long as you can say that you earned an honest day’s pay, you have a good job.”

    I got Charles “PA” Ingalls. I can see that as his character reminds me so much of my grandfather. I guess I am alot like them both. As a matter of fact I call my grandfather “PA” and my mom told me I got that from Little House when I was a child because we lived with my grandparents. And even at the age of 43 now and my grandfather is 84 I still call him that and as the oldest of 9 grandchildren I have always been the only one allowed to call him PA.

    I got Willy! Really? Lol. I didn’t agree until I read what it said and it does sound pretty accurate. My sister and I have always loved the books and the show, I still watch the old reruns over and over and have the dvds as well. It broke my heart when Michael London passed as I’m sure it did many others. I also hope to visit all of Lauren Ingalls Wilder’s historical sites, one of these days. My daughter dressed up as Laura when she was in 3rd grade, for an oral book report she had to do, she was really cute I thought! She doesn’t agree now (she is 26).

    I got Miss Beadle and it makes sense because I am a seasoned veteran school teacher, almost retired. I have been an avid fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder since age 10 in the mid 1960s, having started out first reading “Little House on the Prairie” from my elementary school library. Over the years, my dear mother gifted me with the entire hardback collection which are valuable heirlooms now. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity of visiting all the ‘living sites’ Laura wrote about except Pepin, WI (Little House in the Big Woods) and Malone, NY (Farmer Boy) and was honored to pay my respects at the grave sites in De Smet, SC for the Ingalls Family members as well as Almanzo & Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane in Mansfield, MO. During my travels, I have collected all kinds of memorabilia inclusive of more books, pamphlets, postcards, etc. related to Laura and her family. I am so blessed to have been introduced to Laura early in life and to have experienced everything she vividly wrote about in her books.

    I took the quiz and was totally compared to laura. I have grew up near her home in mansfield and would always play as i was laura. I to this day watch little house on both hallmark and insp channels. I also have all her books and little house dvd set. I also own so many things that I purchased at Laura’s gift shop in mansfield missouri. Can’t wait to visit the new museum in july. My Dad lives just few blocks from her house. I also visit her and Almanzo’s grave there and put flowers. Laura will always live in my heart.
