💡About this test
Trees have stood for human character for thousands of years, from the Celtic tree calendar and the Norse world tree to the Japanese language of plants. Psychology echoes this old intuition: in Karl Koch's Tree Drawing Test and the House-Tree-Person technique, the tree a person pictures hints at traits like resilience, openness, and emotional roots. This quiz turns that idea into a friendly 20-tree map of personality.

🎓About the methodology
This what tree are you test blends archetypal psychology with the projective symbolism of trees. Carl Jung called the tree an image of the Self and of inner growth, while Karl Koch (1949) and John Buck (1948) showed that the way we imagine a tree can mirror temperament and emotional balance. Around the world people still read character through trees: forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) in Japan, the Celtic Ogham signs, and Edward O. Wilson's biophilia theory, which argues we are wired to bond with living things. Your 20 answers describe how you meet storms, growth, and change, then place you on a spectrum from the gentle willow to the mighty oak. The result is meant for fun and self-reflection, not a clinical diagnosis.
