About This Quiz

Personality tests can exhaust even the most formidable of people given all the constant questions with pointed multiple choice answers and potentially digging really deep into your psyche and causing permanent damage. We jest, of course -- as this is a test, known as the Myers-Briggs, heralded as among the most accurate. The thing is we're forgetting that a lot in nature can show us just who we truly are. All we need to do is just look (or ride).

Take horses, for example. Do you have any idea how many different breeds there are? Dozens. It's staggering. And the most amazing thing about horse breeds is that each kind of breed comes with their own particular type of personality. You can, therefore, associate your personality with the simplest of questions based on the ideals of how you ride a horse, or what kind of horse you like to look at, or whether or not you're too afraid to even get on one! Horses are the ultimate test of trust. Look into the eyes of one of them, and you'll know. That's why you have to take this test. You'll then know which horse breed matches you the most.
