THE BOOKS BEHIND THE QUIZ
Roy Feinson's original animal personalities
Animal In You grew out of The Animal in You and Animal Attraction. The books use animal comparisons to explore the ways people behave, connect, and see the world.
The first book was published in 1998. Explore the story behind the test, then discover your own animal.
BEHIND YOUR RESULT
Ten answers. One animal profile.
A quick way to look at familiar habits from a different angle.
The website records your choices in question order. At the end, it looks up that combination in its stored answer-to-profile mappings and opens the corresponding animal profile. It does not create a new AI analysis of you.
The questions cover behaviour, social preferences, and physical presence. Different answers can produce different profiles. The result is not a score of intelligence, ability, or personal worth.
What to take from it
Use the profile to reflect on your habits and start a conversation. This is a book-based framework for entertainment and self-reflection, not a clinical diagnosis or a substitute for a professional psychological assessment. It cannot capture everything about a person or predict a relationship or career.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you take the test
Is this the same as the original Animal In You test?
Yes. This guide explains the Animal In You system. The free 10-question quiz is at animalinyou.com/test.html.
How many animal types are there?
The Animal In You website offers 50 animal personality profiles. Browse the profiles to explore how the system describes different behaviours and social styles.
Is the quiz a clinical or psychological diagnosis?
No. It is a book-based personality framework for entertainment and self-reflection, not a clinical diagnosis or a substitute for a professional assessment. A result describes a profile in this system, not a complete or fixed account of a person.
Can I compare two animal personalities?
Yes. Once you know your animal, use the Matchmaker to read the system's descriptions of two animal personalities. These descriptions are prompts for reflection, not predictions or relationship advice.
