[PERSONALITY QUIZ] Animal

We were given a small personality quiz that was used to roughly guess our personality and what our animals would be. The animals were all assigned their own personalities in order to help us understand why we were assigned this personality.


My highest ranking was for the Beaver -- An organized, creative creature that wishes to solve everything, to take their time, and to do everything right. They do not like changes and need reassurance.

Their strengths are high standards, order, and respect.

Their weaknesses are unrealistic expectations of themselves and others and being too perfect.

Their limitations are seeing the optimistic side of things and expressing flexibility.

So far, everything there fit me pretty well except for the first limitation, or seeing the optimistic side. I actually tend to be a bit more lost in my own thoughts while I work, and I prefer to be rational about the project, because underestimating yourself is much better than overestimating, in my opinion.


The second highest ranking was for the Golden Retriever dog.

This personality is good at making friends, is very loyal, does not like big change and looks for security. It can every sensitive, caring and has strong, deep rooted relationships, but usually only with a couple of friends. It wants to be loved by everyone and looks for appreciation. They work best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Their strengths are being accommodating, calm, and affirming.

Their weakness are indecision, indifference, the inability to express emotion and being too soft or kind to others.

Their limitations include seeing the need to be more assertive and holding others accountable.

Over the SHOULDER (OTS) shot. It shows both their actions and work, along with scenery and their emotions over what they are doing.




EXTREME WIDE shot. This shot plays out the subject's setting, scenery, action, and basic surrounding. It is mainly used to show where the subject is located.
