About This Quiz

Since the 1940s, the Myers-Briggs personality-type test has been helping us understand ourselves better than we did before. As we run through the jungle of this quiz, we're going to see if we can figure out which unique four-letter combination embodies your personality. Once, we've done that, determining the type of jungle cat you are will be easy! 

Unlike other types of cats, jungle cats live solely by their instincts. Whether the hunt requires nocturnal stealth or it takes place with a mighty roar in the middle of the afternoon, jungle cats have the kind of personalities that can handle any task. This very human ability is the same one that will allow us to compare you to some of the world's most majestic felines. 

Your shy side could make you a little more like the creeping black panther, but your more outgoing side could make you as obvious as a snow leopard in the forest. Either way, the things you tell us about yourself will put us in the direction of the cat your personality makes you most like. Will you be the big cat you think you are, or you be put on the scent of a brand-new way of seeing yourself?
