Have you ever wondered what kind of animal best represents your personality?
A 10-question personality quiz has caught fire since appearing on CNN, CBS, and the Los Angeles Times because it can figure out what kind of animal you are most akin to by asking simple behavioral questions—and 23 million people so far have been matched to a species.
Based on novel psychological ideas, the Animal in You quiz was created by the author of The Animal in You and Animal Attraction by Roy Feinson.
Every ecosystem has at least 50 key species that are needed for a web of life to sustain itself, and the same is true of humans.
The test poses questions about your size, aggressiveness, and sociability among other things to gauge where you might end up in the animal kingdom—because the author theorizes that human societies act the same way.
Our communities have space for dominant aggressive types, like tigers, who may work in the military or as a stockbroker, and also for the gentle deer, who may be a florist or preschool teacher.

The test claims it is the “most accurate personality test on the web,” and so Good News Network subjected a number of its staff to it. Geri, the founder, was deemed ‘the playful baboon’—and in her case, it was spot on.

This reporter scored a Vulpes vulpes—the red fox—which by description was a close fit, possessing such characteristics as “choosing subtlety and cunning over brute strength,” and “thriving when running their own businesses,” and who tend to be “hunter personalities… usually in good physical shape and perform well in pastimes that challenge both mind and body.”

As a professional writer, I found my Penguin personality assessment to be spot on. The two other possibilities offered, badger and fox, didn’t come close.
