💡About this test

This test is based on the concept of totemism, studied by anthropologists since the 19th century, and Carl Jung's archetypal psychology. Jung argued that animals in our psyche serve as symbols of collective unconscious archetypes. Modern ecopsychology research confirms that interacting with animal imagery activates deep self-knowledge mechanisms and helps uncover hidden aspects of personality.
