Question 1

What is this test?

Accepted Answer

It reads work behaviour across four dimensions and pictures them as five animals: the tiger (dominance), the peacock (extroversion), the koala (pace), the owl (conformity) and the chameleon (relatively even across all four). The animal is a nickname; what actually describes you is the high-low combination of the four dimensions.

Question 2

What does each animal stand for?

Accepted Answer

Tiger: decisive, goal-driven, direct. Peacock: warm, persuasive, at home with people. Koala: steady, patient, keeps relationships intact. Owl: careful, works from data and logic. Chameleon: flexible, able to switch between roles. Most people carry a primary and a secondary together.

Question 3

How is this different from DISC or a 16-type test?

Accepted Answer

All of them describe behaviour or personality, from different angles. A 16-type test reads psychological preference; DISC reads four behavioural dimensions; this one uses animal imagery to make the result easier to picture and remember, which suits team settings. Worth knowing: these four dimensions map closely onto the DISC four, so the two are the same family rather than two independent confirmations.
