About This Quiz

Most people are happy to have a spirit animal, but who wants a normal one when you can have an exotic one? As you go through this quiz, we're going to sum up your animal instincts. Then, we're going to figure out which exotic pet is your ride or die of the animal world.

Getting to the bottom of the exotic pet you are most like is trickier than figuring out if you are a cat or a dog. In fact, we're going to have to get to know you quite well to see which one embodies your spirit. Instead of asking you about your spirit, we want to see how you handle yourself around all sorts of animals. We will also need to get to know your thoughts about some of the world's most fascinating creatures. 

Once we see what you're like when you're dealing with the animal kingdom up close and personal, we'll compare your traits to some of the world's favorite exotic pets. Try to be as honest as you can; you wouldn't want to be represented by a chinchilla if you're more of a hissing cockroach at heart. Will the answer surprise you, or will you nod in agreement? It's time to find out!
