What sort of animal are you ?

1. You want to go out for dinner, but your boyfriend wants to stay in and watch videos. Which do you end up doing ?

a) Agree immediately to watching videos, even though you had really wanted to go out

b) You say, ‘You can stay in and watch movies – I’m going out ! Goodbye !’ You slam the door on your way out.

c) You’re able to reach a compromise: You’ll watch movies tonight, if you can go out for lunch tomorrow

d) You stay in and watch movies, but pout and look miserable the entire time, so that your boyfriend feels horribly guilty

e) You rant and rave until your boyfriend agrees to do what you want

2. There’s a certain guy you’ve had your eye on for a while, and rumor has it that he’s hot for you too, but when you ask him out, he ‘umms’ and ‘ahhs’ and won’t make up his mind.

a) You wait for him, even if it takes him months to make up his mind. He’ll come around eventually

b) You turn up your nose at him and treat him coolly – it’s now or never, buddy !

c) You tell him you’ll give him some time to think about it, by all means, but that he can’t expect you to wait around forever whilst he makes up his mind. It isn’t fair that you should wait around for something that might not happen.

d) You wear the most revealing outfits whenever you know he’s going to be somewhere, maybe even flirt with someone else a little bit to make him jealous, and give him saucy looks, so that he just cannot resist you a minute longer

e) You tell him openly that you’re sick to death of waiting and that he’d better make up his mind because he’s driving you insane, making sure that you yell a lot because you really want to get through to him.

3. There’s a huge party on Saturday, but you can’t go because you have the flu. Two days later, you find out that in your absence, your boyfriend got with your best friend. What do you do about it ?

a) Try your best to deny it for as long as possible and then cry into your pillow for days – how could they betray you ?

b) Ignore both of them and hope they get the message

c) You call your boyfriend and your best friend and tell them how hurt you are that they treated you like this. Try to patch things up as much as possible, but let them know that they have lost a part of your trust that they may never get back.

d) You get together with your best friend’s boyfriend, and then with your boyfriend’s best friend – sweet, sweet revenge.

e) You scream at the both of them until they flee in tears.

4. Your friend calls and asks to meet you somewhere, but she stands you up. You don’t hear from her until months later, when she calls and acts like nothing is wrong. You…?

a) Are delighted and say, ‘I missed you so much ! How are you, what have you been doing?’ and forgive and forget instantly

b) Get as far as her saying, ‘Hi, it’s (her name here)’, then hang up the phone without a word. If she calls back again, you don’t answer her calls.

c) Are glad to hear from her, but you’re wary about making arrangements in the future.

d) Arrange to meet her somewhere without any intentions of showing up. You snigger to yourself as you think of her, standing there waiting for you. Two can play that game, bitch !

e) Say, ‘Oh, a fine time to be calling me. Thanks so much for apologizing for standing me up and then not calling me for six months ! I waited for two hours and you didn’t show ! Then you have the hide to call me and act like nothing’s wrong…’ until she hangs up, crying.

5. Your boyfriend calls you and says he’s got tickets for you and him to see your favorite football teams play this weekend. The only catch is, his father and grandfather are coming along. How do you act at the game ?

b) You go along, but refrain from cheering and making an idiot of yourself in front of your boy’s folks

c) You shout everyone a hotdog and Coke, buy them all oversized foam hands with, ‘You’re #1 !’ printed on them, and cheer yourself hoarse with everybody else. By the end of it, you’re one of the family.

d) You say, ‘Oh, gee, I’d love to but I’m working. So sorry.’ As if you’d go hang out with a bunch of oldies.

e) Are we kidding ? As if you’d actually go ! You’re furious with your boyfriend for even suggesting that you go and do that. He knows you’re uncomfortable around his family. Tell him he’ll just have to take someone else to the game.

6. Your friends organize a camping trip but you really don’t want to go. What do you do ?

a) You end up going, because you don’t want to disappoint them

b) You refuse right away. Ick.

c) You tell your friends that camping’s not your thing but hey, maybe you could all catch up and do something the weekend after

d) You act all excited and then feign a head-cold at the last minute

e) You go, but complain all the way there, and make everyone’s time miserable. That’ll teach them for pressuring you to go on that dumb camping trip

7. You’re at work and a customer comes up to you with a complaint. You’ve just had a really bad day and nothing you do will seem to calm the customer. How do you handle it?

MOSTLY B’S: Cool, calm, and distant, you’re a Cat. You’re very aloof, and you don’t often like to let your true emotions show. First impressions and popularity are both very important to you, but remember that showing emotion and letting your hair down once in awhile is okay too.

MOSTLY D’s: Sly and scheming – what a Fox you are ! You often use manipulative and cunning tactics to get what you want. Be careful though, as your deceit and games may hurt people, and make your friends think less of you. Try and be a little less deceptive, a little more honest and upfront, and you’ll see just how much better and easier events turn out for you in the long run.

MOSTLY E’s: Your loud mouth and tempestuous nature make you a Grizzly Bear. Now don’t get mad… When you’re angry or upset, everybody knows about it. But you may soon find that your fast temper is very off-putting, and you may lose friends by being so angry all the time. Try and learn some ways that you could control your temper and deal with your problems.
