How the quiz works

Each answer nudges four playful scales: how much energy you have, how people-first you are, how cheeky you are and how driven you are. Every dog sits somewhere on those scales, and you get the one whose mix is closest to yours. It is a fun reading of breed reputations, not a statement about any real animal or a psychological test.

Want something more detailed? The animal personality quiz uses 20 everyday scenarios and six traits to match you to one of 31 animals.
