I would like to take a personality test. But first, what is a personality?
I would like to take a personality test. But first, what is a personality?

Would you like to know more about your personality?

Are you open to learning more about several important elements of your personality preferences? Then here are the simple instructions.

1 - Take out a blank piece of 8 ½ x 11 inch paper.

2 - Now draw a pig.

Those are the instructions for the PIG Personality Test.

Draw a pig.

The pig is of the animal variety.

Your drawing will serve to interpret your personality preferences.

After you have drawn your pig, please read the results below.

Do not read the results until after you have drawn your pig.

Now . . . draw a pig.

Did you draw your pig? O.K. Now read the results.

 

PIG Personality Test Results:

1. If your pig is drawn toward the Top of your paper, you are an optimistic person with a positive attitude. You generally anticipate the best possible outcomes of actions and events. In other words, you see the glass as half full.

2. If your pig is drawn toward the Bottomof your paper, you tend to be more of a pessimistic person. You generally expect the worst. You see the glass as half empty.

3. If your pig is drawn toward the Middle of your paper, you are a realist who tends to face facts and deal with them realistically. You see the glass as dirty and put it in the dishwasher.

4. If your pig is drawn facing Left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, outgoing and tend to remember dates and birthdays. Hint for husbands: remember your wife's birthday but never her age.

5. If your pig is drawn facing Right, you are innovative and active but not as good about remembering dates.

6. If your pig is drawn facing Forward, you are direct, straightforward, welcome discussion, and often enjoy playing the devil's advocate.

7. If your pig is drawn with Many Details, you are analytical, cautious, careful and may be distrustful.

8. If your pig is drawn with Few Details, you are more impulsive, care little for detail and are willing to take risks.

9. If your pig is drawn with 4 Legs showing, you are secure, stick to your ideals, and can be stubborn.

10. If your pig is drawn with Less than 4 Legs showing, you may be insecure, uncertain, or living though a period of major change.

11. The Larger the pig's Ears you have drawn, the better Listener you are.

12. And last but not least, the Longer the pig's Tail you have drawn, the more satisfied you are with the quality of your love life.

I have found this assessment to be a great ice-breaker before a meeting, seminar or training session. I have used it literally hundreds of times and although the instrument is completely un-validated, sometimes the accuracy of the results is close to uncanny as reported by those who take it.

So funny, my pig has all four legs showing, facing forward and a very very long tail. I am SO happy. A brilliant hub

Hi, jayjay, if I may use your nickname. 4 legs and facing forward - that doesn't surprise me. It's what your writing indicates. And a very long tail, I am happy for you.

Hi, Ivorwen. Good to hear the Pig test was fairly accurate. Will be posting some other short "personality" tests soon.

I look forward to seeing them.

What surprised me about this test was that when I saw the instructions to draw a pig, I had an immediate picture in my mind of a pig facing right, 4 legs, normal tail and very detailed. What I drew was a front view of the pig, detailed, but fairly simple -- cartoonish, two legs, and a long tail. I almost erased the tail, to make it the 'right' length, but decided that it was my pig and I would draw it how I pleased. A similar debate went on with the legs.

Note: I usually draw just what I picture.

Ha ha! This is so fun. I absolutely love personality "tests" in all forms. Thanks for the afternoon chuckle. Pretty darned accurate! MM

Cool. I did not try the drawing part, but it was interesting to know about this test and how the details mean. Unfortunately, the pig I had in my mind was the "small circle, small circle, big circle" thing I learned from a preschool song. :P And I didn't even finish drawing it in my mind that I was only able to imagine a pig face! LOL

Mighty Mom - I love your name. Happy you enjoyed drawing your pig. I love these kinds of "tests," too. Probably what provoked my initial interest in psychology.

Hi, R.G. Here's an analysis - no charge. Imagining the pig that you described in your mind (circles within circls) may point to the preferences shown in #6 and #8. What do you think? Any validity?

Hmm. Yes, I like playing the devil's advocate, but I consider myself innovative, and I do remember birthday dates (but not those from my history classes LOL). Perhaps the lack of details may only be for the pig, 'cause I really love to draw ever since I was a kid (although I did not became good enough to be recognized even by my own parents), with great detail, that is. But I'm quite impulsive, so I think it's a mix. Uhm, maybe I'm just feeling straightforward with not much care for details right now. :) Perhaps that could be a good reason why I consider myself shallow despite worrying myself on useless philosophical details? :P
