About This Quiz

If you live your life like most human beings, you can use all the help you can get in the security department. We might try to make the best decisions we can, but we truly have no control over the actions of others. When things get a little sketchy, and you need help, there's a spirit animal that helps keep you on the right path. 

You may not have given much thought to having a protector or a spirit animal, but now is the time to enlighten yourself. Knowing which spirit animal is keeping your soul's predators away can help you to make better-informed choices. For instance, making your choices in this quiz should be left up to your instincts because too much thinking might disrupt the flow of information we are getting from the animal that's keeping your safe! 

As you paw or claw your way through the questions we ask, let your mind go to its most primal state. After all the necessary answers have been received, we will compare your traits to the traits of some of the world's most beloved spirit animals. Will you be guarded by the animal you think you are most like, or will you need to go make a new friend at the zoo?
