The chat room is always bursting with a variety of personalities that represent the essential character of a person as an individual in a group setting.
I came across a personality test recently that was not only loads of fun and also very accurate, so I decided to try it out on all the chatters.
I have been bombarding them with this test that associates a particular personality portrait with an animal. Luckily for me it has proved to be very popular. No one has complained (yet) and everyone seems to be very happy with their results.
If you are reading this and have not yet done the test then beware! I will hunt you down and test you. It is only a matter of time...
