About This Quiz

As human beings, all of us go through our lives making decisions and acting certain ways, and we don't even know why. When you are faced with something that is challenging, or maybe even a little bit scary, do you face it head on or do you run away as fast as you can? 

When you are starting a new job, do you look at it as an opportunity to meet all sorts of new people, or do you get totally nervous about the whole thing and wish everyone would just leave you alone? 

A lot of this has to do with our primary instincts, while how we were raised and what we grew up around has a lot to do with who we become, just as much has to do with who we are the day we are born.

Animals are much the same way; if you are walking through the woods and you startle a bear, it is likely it is going to attack you and mess you up, but if you startle a horse, it will run away. A wolf is going to want to hang out with its whole crew while a fox wants nothing more to be left alone.
