About This Quiz

"Outlander" fans are an interesting breed. If you take the time to browse "Outlander" fan forums, you'll realize that most fans have very strong opinions about what the TV show (and book series) gets right and wrong. At times, the show's fans can be tremendously critical, nitpicking plot holes like whether Claire would really remember so much of her medical knowledge, or complaining that the show didn't need to give poor Frank a mistress. Then again, when they're talking about Terry Dresbach's gorgeous costumes or Sam Heughan's stunning physique, "Outlander" fans couldn't be more positive. In other words, "Outlander" fans are rarely neutral!

If you're one of the millions of people who loves to argue about this show, this is the quiz for you. We've prepared a series of questions about every controversial "Outlander" topic you can think of, from Bree and Roger's "great" relationship to whether the TV series is secretly better than the books. All you need to do is tell us where you stand on these burning issues! 

In return for your honest answers, we'll answer an important question about your future: namely, when you'll meet a Jamie Fraser-like soulmate of your very own. Are you intrigued yet? Good. Because it's time to get quizzing!

Starz
Has "Outlander" taught you anything about history or nah?
Yes. Thanks to this show, I feel like a master of British/Scottish history.
Maybe? It's taught me the word "Sassenach," if that counts.
Nah. I still don't know what a Jacobite is.
I think "Outlander" may have actually made me worse at history.

Who's worse: Stephen Bonnet or Black Jack Randall?

Black Jack Randall
They're equally evil.
The Comte St. Germain is worse than them both!

04_handmade knitted sweaters
Starz
How much does "Outlander" make you crave handmade knitted sweaters?
Not at all. I'm a warm-weather person.
A little bit, but I know I could never look as great as the actors do because I don't have a background of Scottish fog.
Not gonna lie: I sometimes go online shopping after watching an episode.
I live for their knitwear.

05_Brianna and Roger
Starz
In your opinion, should Brianna and Roger have stayed in the present?
No. Brianna needed to meet Jamie.
Maybe. They don't seem to be having a good time in the past.
Yes. 1964 is a lot safer than 18th century South Carolina.
Sure. Whatever gets them off my TV screen is fine by me.

06_Claire and Jamie
Starz
Do you think "Outlander" stars Catriona Balfe (Claire) and Sam Heugnan (Jamie) have ever dated in real life?

Starz
Do you think it's weird that Jamie and Claire haven't really aged since Season 1?

Starz
In your opinion, does "Outlander" over-romanticize the past?
No. I think it's remarkably realistic, actually.
They take some liberties with reality, but so what?
Not as much as "Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman," but it's pretty silly.
Oh yeah!

I like that Claire has an important job, but I wish they'd spare us the vivid details.
No, they're so gross!

Starz
Real talk: is Brianna too stupid to live?
No. I think she's a pretty relatable character who is doing her best.

No. She's using them for love, the most important thing of all.
Maybe, but what if that causes damage to the space-time continuum?
Well, wasn't that what she was trying to do with the Jacobite rebellion?
Yes. Knowing what she does about World War II, why doesn't she do something about Hitler?

18_Murtagh spin-off
Starz

Starz
Is "Outlander" too violent or just violent enough?

I wish it were less graphic.
