About This Quiz

Popular culture has been obsessed with dinosaurs for years. Just take a look at the "Jurassic Park" film series for proof. From a straightforward 1990 novel by Michael Crichton sprang an entire universe of sci-fi fantasies, including five movies (with a sixth underway) produced over three decades, plus countless action figures, kids' meal toys and other merchandise that flew off the shelves almost as fast as it was put there.

While we all love a good Steven Spielberg flick, and Jeff Goldblum's classic turn in the first movie is the stuff of Hollywood legends, there is more to the allure of the series than quality cinematic craftsmanship. The main ingredient is the subject matter itself: dinosaurs, those mysterious reptilian giants that once walked the places where we live, eat, and drive.

It's tough to name one particular thing that attracts us to the dinosaurs, but a recurring theme is how little we know about them. Much of what we have deduced is the result of careful study of their bones and computer simulations designed to recreate what life was like tens of millions of years ago. Many are also obsessed with their power: Dinosaurs are thought to be the largest predators to ever walk on land, with the strength to easily destroy a modern vehicle or house.

As we learn more and more about these historic creatures, one question creeps to the top of our minds: Which dinosaur is most like us? That depends on your soul, the core of your existence. Tell us about yourself with the questions below and we'll decide which dinosaur influences your spiritual identity.
