Who Are You Most Ruthless To in Critical Moments?
Test Question: Imagine your farm has been devastated, leaving you with only one cow, one sheep, one horse, one monkey, and one lion—each one a favorite. In these hard times, you have to sell them to get by. Which one would you sell first?
1. Choosing “The clever, capable monkey”
The monkey symbolizes friendship.
In times of serious hardship, you tend to set friendship aside because you prioritize family.
2. Choosing “The hardworking, selfless cow”
The cow symbolizes a romantic partner.
When challenges arise, you’re more willing to sacrifice romance, as you take a big-picture, pragmatic approach.
3. Choosing “The swift horse”
The horse symbolizes siblings.
In tough times, your bond with your siblings may loosen because you tend to rely on yourself.
4. Choosing “The gentle, kind sheep”
The sheep symbolizes parents.
When you face difficulties, you choose not to lean on your parents, underscoring your independence and your early desire to leave home and make your own way.
5. Choosing “The lion, king of beasts”
The lion symbolizes elders.
Even when you’re at your wits’ end, you’re unlikely to seek help from your elders. You’re quite self-reliant and keep pushing forward, which can improve your odds of success compared with others.
