What is a dere type?
A dere type is an anime and manga label for how a character acts when they are in love. Each name joins a word for a temperament with deredere, Japanese for lovestruck: a tsundere is curt (tsuntsun) before the softness shows, a kuudere stays cool, a dandere stays quiet (danmari), a yandere is devoted to the point of obsession, and a himedere wants to be treated like a princess (hime). Fans use the types to describe characters, and quizzes like this one apply them to people for fun.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Answer the six questions above. Every question offers all six types once, and each answer counts toward one of them; the type you pick most often is your result. If two types tie, the one you chose most recently wins, so every set of answers gives exactly one type.
The six most common are yandere (devoted to the point of obsession), tsundere (prickly outside, soft inside), kuudere (calm and composed), dandere (quiet until they feel safe), deredere (openly affectionate) and himedere (expects to be treated like royalty). Fans name rarer ones too, such as kamidere and bakadere.
A tsundere hides feelings behind irritation and outbursts, while a kuudere hides them behind calm composure. Both soften with the right person: a tsundere loudly denies it, and a kuudere barely shows it at all.
Yandere is a character type, and its suspense comes from devotion that turns possessive. In real life, checking up on a partner or controlling who they see is a warning sign, not romance. If you got yandere here, read it as loving intensely, never as permission to control anyone.
