4 Animals Personality Test

You can take the 4 animals personality test in a few minutes. The goal is to give you a picture of your and your spouse's unique, God-given strengths.

During my doctoral program, I studied many different tests that were created to help people see their strengths. However, I quickly discovered that while most were very helpful, almost all of them were extremely complicated to take, and even the results were hard to under­stand! For example, one popular personality tool uses 364 questions to assess a person’s strengths and weaknesses — and you have to be certified to explain what your answers to those questions mean!

So I decided to create a tool that was accurate and easy to read and that someone could take in just three to five minutes. The goal of the assess­ment was to give people a picture of their unique, God-given strengths.

If you take the personality quiz (just below) think about how you naturally react when you’re at home with your fiancé or spouse. (Feel free to take this instrument later on to determine who you are when you’re at work. Many of us tend to be one personality type when we’re at home and someone very different when we’re at work.) For now, however, focus on identifying your strengths at home, with your fiancé or spouse.

Learn about your spouse

It’s also a great idea to take this test with your spouse to learn about their personality type. Each result page has a video at the end that talks about being married to that personality.

A “living” picture of your strengths

Remember that we’re a blend of all four of these basic personality types, with a few of us being purebreds. And know, too, that while this instrument can give you a valid picture of who you are today, that picture can change over time as you grow, mature, and go through different life experiences. Learn about the personality types: The Lion, The Otter, The Golden Retriever, and The Beaver!
