About This Quiz

In the grand scheme of time, it wasn't so long ago that humans were living much like animals. Sure, we have houses and subways and Starbucks in the present, but go back a few thousand years and where were we? Huts? Caves? Struggling to survive alongside the beasts of the woods? Humans and animals have shared this world for as long as humans have existed, and it's been a curious relationship. Sometimes friendly, like with cats. Sometimes helpful, like with horses. Sometimes antagonistic, like with snakes or tigers or bears. In the end, every animal has its place, and there's a place for every animal. But is there a place for one in you?

Fact is, we can't help but see patterns and similarities in life. That's why we use those metaphors to describe people as animals. As finicky as a cat. As proud as a peacock. Hungry like the wolf. We recognize qualities in each other that come from the animals in the world around us because we all come from the same place originally. And humans may have evolved and built our cities and technology, but the roots are still there. 

If you want to know what animal took root in you, what beastly essence still lives inside, why not take this quiz and see?
