Today, we were asked to determine which “Winnie the Pooh” character we
are most like. After reading the descriptions of the “Winnie the Pooh”
characters, I think I am most like Piglet. I am often quiet and a little shy,
especially in new situations. I also believe that I am good at problem solving
like Piglet. If I encounter a problem, I usually try to think of multiple
solutions to the issue and choose the most logical one.
I took a quiz to determine which “Winnie the Pooh” character I am most
like. My results are below:
You are Winnie the Pooh. Oh, bother. You are sweet, simple, and popular for your honesty
and goodwill. Though you may be the biggest personality in the woods, you
sometimes need the help of others in the brains department!
I believe that the quiz determined me to be more like Pooh than Piglet
because my decisions were interpreted differently than I intended them to be.
For example, one of the questions asked what I would do if I were served a type
of soup that I do not like by a friend. I chose that I would eat the soup. I
believe the quiz interpreted this response to mean that I was acting in hopes
of being viewed as “sweet” and “popular”. It also may have reasoned that I was
not acting in a very smart way because I did not stand up for myself by
refusing the soup. When I responded to the question, I chose that answer
because I value my friendship more than offending a good friend over a dislike.
I would interpret my actions as choosing the best solution to honor my friendship,
even if it meant that I had to eat soup that I did not like. The quiz
interpreted some of my answers differently than I meant them to be.
The two results were also different because of the nature of the
questions in the quiz. I found some of the questions difficult to answer
because they did not apply to my life or personality. One question referred to
throwing a big party when my parents were not home. I would not throw a party
in the first place, so this made the question hard to answer. I would also not
cancel a party at the last minute because it would be rude to the guests who
were planning to attend. Though I would rather babysit as the question offered,
I would not cancel a party on short notice because it is not proper etiquette.
Some of the questions in the quiz did not offer answers that I would
realistically choose, changing my results.
Though I do not agree that Winnie the Pooh and I are exactly matched, I
can understand why the quiz determined us to be similar. It is an interesting
concept to imagine being a character from the well-known story.
