Huh!

I thought this was kinda fun. It's a short webquiz I found here. Basically, it shows you five animals and you choose the order that you sacrifice them in if you're stranded in a desert. This is what I got

wait, so you'd deny yourself basic needs and murder your children to keep your friends?

[annekate]

Seems that way!

[eltreum]

1 You sacrificed the Lion. The Lion represents pride.
2 You sacrificed the Cow. The Cow represents basic needs.
3 You sacrificed the Sheep. The Sheep represents friendship.
4 You sacrificed the Monkey. The Monkey represents your children.
5 You kept the Horse. The Horse represents your passion.

And here I was simply thinking logically. The lion is useless, the cow is food, the sheep is food, the monkey can find his own way out, and I can ride the horse... Sheesh.

I'm pretty sure all of those animals could be food.

[annekate]

See, I'm a vegetarian, so none of them could be food! XD

[elspazz0]

Because I'm so sure that if you were stranded in the desert you wouldn't forego your vegetarian principles to, oh, i don't know, LIVE?! *coughs*

Besides - I said they *could* be food, not they *would* be food. Tee.

Mine was like yours with the monkey moved to last (cow, horse, lion, sheep, monkey). I was thinking logically as well, but I used a different algorithm - at each turn, I sacrificed the animal that I thought was largest and thus would need the most water, my reasoning being that this would allow me to save the greatest amount of water, thus making it less likely that more animals would have to be sacrificed in the future, so that the greatest number of lives could be saved. Plus I figure the monkey is the most likely to be sentient.

I dunno. This is interesting, but in terms of a personality definer, the fact that there are ways to approach the selection logically without regard to symbolism is troublesome. I prefer The Cube, where there's really no logical way to approach things and it's all a matter of personal choice.

You can choose to approach the problem without logic ya know. :P Just go by whim or personal preference.

Worked for me *shrug*
