(Courtesy of Creative Training Techniques Press) Here’s a training activity I use in my creativity problem solving sessions. Use it to learn more about yourself; Use it to kick off your next team meeting: Use it over the dinner table with your family (when you’re not eating porky).
(Important: Read only the instruction and Don’t Peak at the Interpretation)
The Pig Personality Test Instructions:
On a blank piece of paper, draw a pig.
(You have only 2 minutes)
Do not read below this point until you have taken the test.
If your pig is drawn ….
- Toward the top of the paper, you are positive and optimistic.
- Toward the middle of the paper, you are a realist.
- Toward the bottom of the paper you are negative and pessimistic.
If your pig…
- Faces left, you believe in tradition.
- Faces right, you are innovative and active
- Faces forward, looking at you, you are direct and forth right.
- Faces the rear, (psst..you have issues)
If your pig is drawn with…
- Many details, you are analytical
- Few details, you are a risk taker and sometimes commit before analyzing a situation.
- Fewer than four legs showing, you are secure and sometimes stubborn.
- More than 4 legs, seek professional help.
- The size of the ears indicate how good a listener you are—the bigger the better
- The length of the tail indicates the quality of your love life. The longer the tail, the more fulfilling your life. Psst: Do you even have a tail?
