Totem Animal

To start off, I did not like the questionnaire on Professor Bump's website so I decided to use this website because it asks a variety of questions and you get a better feel for what your totem animal could be. The website is... http://quizfarm.com/run.php/QuizRunner .

You are the Ram. You often live in reality but turn it into your imagination at every turn. New beginnings are a favorite for you. You rule the mountains as a mejestic being.
I have taken this quiz twice and I guess I have answered it the same way both times because I got a Ram both times, though I was also tied with a Horse. It is interesting what our totem animal could possibly be. What animal we are "linked" to or how we could be connected to certain animals in certain ways like we resemble them and their personalities the best in some kind of way. Though I really wish there was some kind of test that we could take or have someone evaluate us to find out what animal is our "spirit guide" or "totem animal". An Animal Totem is an important symbolic object used by a person to get in touch with specific qualities found within an animal which the person needs, connects with, or feels a deep affinity toward.

So why do people think up to have an animal totem? To me, I think people start considering they have an animal totem do to the fact that they are looking for a deeper sense of who they are. We draw links between us and animals when we speak about having certain traits, ie. Strong as an Ox, sly as a fox, etc. , we then start to think about what type of animal could we most resemble if we think about it deep down. People aren't just one animal, but can have many different totems as they change throughout their lives. I use this rule of thumb, in 6 months everything will be different. In about 6 months your life has changed in some sort of way and is different then it was 6 months before. If you really think about it you are a different person almost every 6 months and that we change throughout out life because of things that happen.

There are plenty of different "quizzes" you can take to find out what totem animal is linked to you, but I think the best ones are the ones that just want you to think about questions of you and your life deep down. Those are the best kinds of ways to figure yourself out. To think about questions.
