Did you know you could learn a lot about yourself by drawing a pig?
When I travel around the country, I often do a series of "Attitude Adjustment Exercises." The exercises are really a series of games that are great visual learning tool.
One of my favorite exercises to lead is called "The Pig Test." It's a great ice breaker and a great way for people to learn about themselves.
I first took the test almost 20 years ago. Now it's something I share with people around the world.
I've decided to share the test with you as a thank you for reading my blog. Take the test and when you're done, feel free to share it with others. If you want to share it via Twitter or Instagram, take a picture of your drawing and post the photo with the hashtag "#PigTest" and share it with me @frankkitchen.
Enjoy the PIG TEST
Step #1
Please draw a PIG on a piece of paper!
There are no rules, no limits! You can draw anything! This test is about you.
Step #2
Where did you draw your pig?
- If your pig is at the top of the page, you are positive and optimistic!
- If your pig is in the middle of the page, you are a realist!
- If your pig is at the bottom of the paper, you are suspicious and have a likelihood to behave
negatively.
Step #3
What direction does you pig face?
- Does your pig face left side of the page?
You believe in traditions. You are friendly. You are good at remembering dates
(birthdays, homework, anniversaries,etc)
- Does your pig face right side of the page?
You are creative and active. You don’t have a strong sense of family. You have a hard time
remembering dates.
- Is your pig looking directly at you?
You are direct, enjoy playing devil’s advocate and neither fear nor avoid discussions
Step #4
How much detail did you put into your drawing?
- Do you have a lot of details?
You are organized, methodical, cautious and distrustful.

You tend to be emotional and naive (easy to trick/influence), you care little for details and are a risk-taker.
Step #5

- All 4 legs showing
You tend to be secure, stubborn and stick to your ideals.

Step #6
Did you draw ears?
- How big are your pigs ears?
The size of the ears show how good a listener you are. The bigger the better!
