Summary

The website offers a fun and quick personality test involving drawing a pig and interpreting the results based on specific details of the drawing.

Abstract

The article introduces a personality test that is both entertaining and surprisingly insightful. Participants are instructed to draw a pig on a blank piece of paper and then answer questions about their drawing, such as the pig's location on the paper, its direction, level of detail, number of legs, ear size, and tail length. Each aspect of the drawing is said to correlate with certain personality traits, such as optimism, traditionalism, emotional naivety, security, listening skills, and even aspects of one's sex life. The test is presented as a playful activity that can serve as an icebreaker in social settings or team meetings and is claimed to provide accurate insights into one's personality. The author, Liz, encourages readers to share their experiences with the test and offers a link to a more traditional personality test for those interested in further self-exploration.

Draw a pig on the paper.

That’s it…told you it was easy.

There are no more instructions; do that and when you’re done, take a look at the five questions below. Don’t overthink it; just draw your version of a pig.

Forget all the politicians that just came to mind. We’re going for the pink curly tailed animal here with a snout.

And don’t go past this pretty hot pink divider until your pig drawing is complete!

I’ve got this article set up to self destruct if you don’t follow the rules.

ONLY when you’re done can go to the next step…I’m serious.

Now answer these six simple questions about what your pig looks like.

  1. Where is the pig located on your paper?
  2. Which direction is the pig facing?
  3. Does your pig have many details or few?
  4. How many legs does your pig have?
  5. Does your pig have large ears or small ones?
  6. How long is the pig’s tail?

Here’s mine…no laughing.

Here’s what all that means as far as your amazing personality.

Question #1

  • If the pig is at the top of the paper, you are an optimist.
  • If the pig is at the bottom, you are a pessimist.
  • In the middle means that you are a realist.

Question #2

  • If your pig is facing right, you are innovative.
  • If your pig faces left, you are traditional.
  • If your pig faces the front, you enjoy arguing with others and creating drama.

Question #3

  • If your pig has few details, it means that you might be emotional and naive and a bit of a risk-taker.
  • If your pig has many details, you are more likely cautious and do not trust others easily.

Question #4

  • If your pig has 4 legs showing, it means that you are secure and stubborn.
  • If your pig has less than 4 legs, it means that you are insecure or are going through a major change in life.

Question #5

  • If your pig has large ears, it means that you are a good listener.
  • If your pig has small ears, it means that you are not a good listener.

Question #6

  • If your pig has a large curly tail, it means that you have a good sex life.
  • If your pig has a small tail, it means that you might not have a good sex life. (Hey, I didn’t make this up …it’s a real test)

Wrapping it Up

Fun — right?

Not to mention pretty darn accurate.

This is a great ice breaker for a team meeting or a party when people don’t know each other. It’s a great conversation starter and can be done remotely on a group zoom call to start a meeting and get people laughing.

We did it at home over a glass of wine for some laughs — it was fun!

Here’s another personality test if you want more detail and insight into your personality type. It’s a serious one, but there are only 10 simple multiple-choice questions, and it takes less than five minutes.

I did this one too and found it was right on the money— enjoy!

And hey, I’d love to hear how your pig turned out. After all, I shared mine.
