With the ending of both the writers strike and the actors strike, production of season 20 of the hit medical drama Greys Anatomy is officially allowed to begin. The show has seen many characters come and go during its historic television run, so here is what your favorite character says about you:

Meredith Grey

The world revolves around you, whether this is a good thing or not. You probably have deep family trauma that affects every relationship you try to pursue. Despite all of that, you are the center of your loved ones world and you have managed to rise above all that you have been through.

Cristina Yang

You are bold, loud and fearless. You have never let anything stand in your way. You know your worth and do not settle for anything less than. You are probably in pursuit of some challenge, and you will stop at nothing until you have achieved everything you ever wanted.

Lexie Grey

You are a rule-follower down to your core. You have never skipped class, never taken a random day off work and you deeply feel this has paid off in some way. You have a bright energy that draws people in, although they may become jealous of your talent and work ethic.

Derek Shepherd

Just like your favorite character, you are a hotshot in whatever career, degree or life path you are embarking on. You ooze confidence, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and demand attention whenever you enter the room.

Amelia Shepherd

People are awed by your seemingly natural talent, but deep down you are constantly wondering if you are good enough. You are extremely resilient and can bounce back from everything. You are probably in a competitive field and often feel overshadowed by your peers despite the outstanding work you are doing. You joke your way through every uncomfortable or tough situation in your life and are often mistaken for a comedian because of this.

Owen Hunt

You do not take no for an answer. You think everyone should follow what you do and say exactly as you say and do it. You have probably been in or are working toward a big management or leadership position and you make this your entire personality.

Miranda Bailey

You have worked extremely hard to get to where you are, and despite all the odds, you made it. You have natural leadership traits, and while this sometimes gets mistaken as you being bossy, those traits are vital to your success. You can command the attention of an entire room with just the sound of your voice. You are also an extremely good person with good intentions and you fight hard for those around you.

Alex Karev

Life has not been kind to you. For a while, this defined you and held you back, but now you have moved past all the hardships and have gotten yourself to a much better place in your life. You care deeply about the people in your life, and deep down you are scared they may leave. You have made many mistakes but have learned something important from each one.

George OMalley

You have always been seen as the underdog. You mistake people making fun of you for jokes and compliments and are somehow unaware of the cruelties of the world. You try so hard to be perfect and while you are far from it, you always keep trying to better yourself and your skills. You are a good samaritan and are always trying to do something good. You probably rescue every stray cat you see.

Izzie Stevens

You always give people the benefit of the doubt. You are sometimes a pushover and have the tendency to let people walk all over you. You try so hard but are never fully where you want to be. You are a kind and genuine person at heart, but get caught up in circumstances that tend to paint you in a bad light.

Dr. Mark Sloan

You have some big faults and may come across as a bad person on the outside, but on the inside, you are sensitive and loving. You did not have much of a family growing up, so now that you are older, you have built a family of your own through friends you would do anything for. You are an extremely passionate person and you take your work seriously. You are confident on the outside but on the inside, you struggle with your self-worth.

April Kepner

You know your values and morals and never stray away from them. You place family above everything else and are a deeply empathetic person. You long to help people and sometimes find yourself giving unsolicited advice because of this. You know what you stand for and your opinions are not easily changed. You are loving almost to a fault and give way too many second chances.

Arizona Robbins

You are sunshine in human form. You are upbeat and can find the good in the worst situations. People know not to mistake your kindness for ignorance though. You are not afraid to put people in their place, even if you have confrontation issues.

Callie Torres

You have had many personal ups and downs and are always trying to get back to what makes you happy, whatever that may be. You are constantly in search of something greater and a bigger purpose in life. You are a fun person to be around and are always down for a good time.

What your favorite 'Grey's Anatomy' character says about you - The Post

Characters like Owen could be deemed as intelligent for obtaining a medical degree but that doesn't make them exempt from failing to use common sense.

All of the characters on Grey's Anatomy could be deemed as extremely intelligent for obtaining a medical degree alone, but that doesn't make them exempt from failing to use common sense in everyday situations and having more workplace romances than most real-life hospitals.

HR at Grey-Sloan is most likely a logistical nightmare, and the decisions made by these characters throughout 17 seasons have surely added to hospitals reevaluating their own regulations and policies. Thankfully, no episode of Grey's Anatomy is complete without some sort of resolution or lesson, so that even when characters make choices leaving fans shaking their heads, they at least are able to learn and grow from them.

Aside from being a precocious child who skipped a grade, Lexie Grey often lived inthe shadow of her big half-sister, Meredith. In reality, Lexie was one of the smartest residents Seattle Grace had ever seen. She was on track to become a neurosurgery attending under the apprenticeship of her brother-in-law, Derek Shepard before her untimely demise.

Despite being the Chief of Surgery at Seattle Grace turned Grey-Sloan Memorial for many years,Richard Webber never quite got it rightwhen it came to his personal life.His marriage with Adele suffered for years because of his longstanding affair with Ellis Grey, and his nepotism shone through when he began mentoring Meredith in Season 6 in an attempt to get her to keep quiet about his resurfacing alcoholism.

As the head of surgery, one would think he would be smarter than to make a lot of the decisions he did over the course of the show.

Originally introduced as an all-mighty villain standing in the way of Derek and Meredith, Addison Montgomery proved herself to be much more than just the attending neurosurgeon's estranged wife. Addison never settled for less than she deserved with Mark, she had her patients best interests in mind as an OB/GYN, and even got her own spinoff, Private Practice.

When Owen Hunt was introduced as a love interest for Cristina Yang in Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy, it was easy for fans to view him as a stark contrast to Cristina's ex-fianc, Preston Burke.

However, Owen was no stranger to mistakes, and he sure did make a lot of them. He always seemed to want what he couldn't have, and continuously tried to change all of the women he was involved with. He lost Cristina because she wouldn't have his baby, and after years of will-they-won't-they with Teddy, he ended up losing her too.

Teddy loses points for exposing herself cheating on Owen over voicemail, sure, but viewers have to give credit where credit is due to Doctor Altman. In season 7, she married a patient so he could have proper health insurance, and ended up having one of the healthiest relationships on the show because of it.

Henry's death was devastating, but his storyline proved that Teddy was a lot more than Owen's maybe-lover, and her marrying him both extended and improved his life.

Yes, Derek Shepherd was an award winning neurosurgeon, but a lot of his choices throughout the series made fans think twice about his intelligence. First, he had an affair with an intern, and when his wife came back around he shattered the heart of the love of his life by trying to fix a broken marriage.

Additionally, Derek continuously acted in his own self-interest, like when he took full credit for the Alzheimer's trial he created alongside Meredith and the whole almost-affair in D.C.

Alex Karev started the show has an arrogant intern who thought he was better than everyone else. Because of his attitude, his fellow interns despised him and actually thought less of him. His growth throughout the series allowed fans to find him incredibly lovable and a genuinely talented surgeon.

His knowledge of pediatrics showed just how intelligent of a doctor he was, and he emotionally matured by making smarter romantic decisions, such as his relationship with Jo (just ignore Season 16, Episode 16!).

Izzie Stevens was labeled 'Doctor Model' during her intern years and often tried to prove herself because of it. However, Izzie could never separate her emotions from logic, such as when she cut Denny's L-VAD wire in Season 2, and then left the hospital after he passed away.

For being a doctor, it sure took Izzie a long time to realize she was dying of cancer, and communication never seemed to be her strong suit, especially in relationships, because she ran off the second things got hard in her and Alex's marriage.

April Kepner started as the mousy brunette from Mercy West who had a childlike crush on Derek, but turned into the redheaded trauma surgeon viewers didn't know they needed.

April's smartest moments included her speech to Gary Clark during the hospital shooting, where she told him her life story so he'd view her as a human and spare her life, which he did, and leaving her first wedding to Matthew to be with her true love Jackson (even if that didn't entirely work out in the end).

There's no doubt that Meredith Grey is a great surgeon. She is the daughter of Ellis Grey, after all. A lot of Meredith's acting out is a result of her paternity, like having an affair with an attending as an intern, putting her hand on a bomb in a patient's chest cavity, nearly drowning, putting herself between her husband and a gunman, etc.

Meredith Grey is brave, but that doesn't make her decisions all that smart.
