Meet the Sheldons from The Big Bang Theory

5% Sheldon Cooper

Okay, so this is the tiny Sheldon in the room — the one who nods at labels and secretly corrects grammar in his head but then forgets where he put his coffee. Kind of pedantic in a cute, almost apologetic way, like he’ll insist you mean “literally” while also using it wrong himself (I think?). He has an inner checklist that he sort-of follows, and will roll his eyes at chaos while quietly enjoying a well-organized drawer. Also: low-key obsessed with trains? Maybe. Honestly, he’s more amused by rules than enslaved to them.

25% Sheldon Cooper

This one actually enjoys making a schedule and will defend the spot on the couch with mild passion, but will also crack a silly pun when the moment is right — shockingly. He knows a lot of random science facts and will announce them at parties like it’s casual conversation, which is never casual, but still kind of endearing. There’s a serious aversion to change, roommate agreements are probably drafted, and yet he’ll show up late once because he got distracted by a peculiar pattern on the subway tiles. He’s awkward in social things but trying, and sometimes that effort is the best part.

50% Sheldon Cooper

Half-genius, half-trying-to-blend — you get someone who can recite particle physics but will also attempt small talk and fail in the most adorable ways. Super precise and often literal, he’ll take the instruction manual as gospel and then refuse help because “where’s the fun in that?” He loves routines and comic-book trivia and has rigid preferences, though every so often he surprises you by laughing at a totally inappropriate joke. He’s very protective of his comfort zone but also quietly learning empathy, which is possibly the slowest character development arc ever, but heartfelt.

75% Sheldon Cooper

This is nearly full Sheldon, the kind who has an actual spot, a schedule for everything, and a verbatim Roommate Agreement in his back pocket. Extremely brilliant and unashamedly opinionated, he’ll correct your physics and then apologize like it’s dramatic, and he absolutely does not get sarcasm unless it’s explained. He’ll insist on order, carry a thermos for tea that’s probably labeled, and yet — weirdly — he might adopt a stray cat or get emotional at a heartfelt speech, much to everyone’s confusion. Honestly, he’s delightfully rigid and secretly tender in ways he’d never articulate properly.

100% Sheldon Cooper

Pure Sheldon energy, like you can smell the disinfectant and hear the theme music in the background — total consummate nerd, brilliant theoretical physicist, obsessive about his spot and his routines and his very specific snack schedule. Social norms? A suggestion, usually ignored; logic first, feelings later (or sometimes never), and he will absolutely, without shame, lecture you on string theory at brunch. He’s both exasperating and mesmerizing: bafflingly literal, astonishingly smart, occasionally cruel without meaning to be, and stubbornly sincere when he cares — which is rare but devastating when it happens. Also, he probably has a soft scarf, a mysterious train timetable collection, and will, somehow, end up being somewhat lovable even if he insists he’s not.
