let me guess your Detective Hole character

ten questions that never mention Oslo, a case or anyone in the cast, and a read on which of the five you actually are.

About This Quiz

this one never asks how you would handle a murder investigation. it asks what you do when somebody has parked so close you cannot get in, when a bill comes back wrong in your favour, and what happens to a message you started and never sent. none of the ten questions mention Oslo, a case, a rank or a single character, so you cannot work out where an answer is going and steer toward the one you already wanted. the five it picks between are Harry Hole, Rakel Fauke, Tom Waaler, Katrine Bratt and Mikael Bellman. what comes back is a read on you, not a summary of them.

Sample Questions

  • 1.somebody has parked so close to your car that you cannot get in on the driver's side.

Frequently Asked Questions

what is this quiz actually measuring?

Five things, none of which it asks about directly: how long you stay with a problem after it stops being useful, where you draw a line and whether you announce it, what you do with an advantage nobody would catch you taking, how much you need to be seen being right, and how much of your behaviour is arranged for an audience. Every one of the ten questions is an ordinary situation chosen because people answer it before working out what it reveals.

is Tom Waaler a bad result?

It is the least comfortable of the five and it is not an accusation. The Waaler read is about being clear-eyed rather than cruel: you notice the gap between how things are supposed to work and how they do, and you stopped finding that gap upsetting. Plenty of people who get it are simply honest about motives that the other four dress up. If it stings, the useful question is which answer you hesitated over.

is this based on the Netflix series or Jo Nesbo's novels?

The five characters are the ones the series puts on screen, played by Tobias Santelmann as Harry, Pia Tjelta as Rakel and Joel Kinnaman as Waaler. Its nine episodes arrived on Netflix on 26 March 2026 and adapt The Devil's Star, the fifth Harry Hole novel. The quiz contains no plot and no spoilers, so book readers and series watchers get the same read.

does the position of an answer mean anything?

No, and that is deliberate. Each character sits in each of the five slots exactly twice across the ten questions, so the first option is not the popular one and the last is not the unusual one. On most character quizzes the same result sits in the same place every time and you can pick it without reading. Here the position carries no information, which is why the questions have to be read.
