About the Personality Test

As humans, we naturally think about our own personalities, and who we really are. But can something as complex as a person be defined by a small box?

We know that some people seek adventure, novelty, and energy, while others prefer structure and alone time at home. Where do you fit and what are your preferences?

At Plushies Store, we created this What Animal Am I? Personality Test with this idea in mind. The goal is to use the answers you select for each question to create a personality profile and assign the animal that most closely matches it.

What is the What Animal Am I? Personality Test?

The What Animal Am I? Personality Test is a trait-based assessment that compares your answers across six (6) core personality traits and then matches that to a set of animal personality profiles.

As you progress through the questions, the test cumulatively builds a profile of your personality based on your answers. You can also always go back and change your answer if you don't feel strongly about the one you chose.

Personality Test Purpose

People take online personality quizzes for a variety of reasons. Some want to learn more about themselves, others simply find them entertaining, and some are curious to see whether the animal they receive matches the one they already identify with.

The bottom line is there is no one-size-fits-all personality profile and each person is constantly changing and evolving. You may have a sociable, brave dog-based personality today, and as you get old, you become more of a curious, kind fox-based personality. Your results are more a reflection of your current state and should be viewed as a starting point for reflection.

Why Do We Use Animals?

Because humans have shared such a long and close relationship with animals throughout time, we already have a general sense of the traits and characteristics we associate with each one.

Dolphins are often seen as intelligent and playful.

Elephants are known for their great memory when they see previous caretakers, and communal tendencies with their herd.

These natural associations make it easier for us to understand and analyze our own personalities.
