What kind of work animal are you?

We decided that Johnny is a monkey, Carrie is an alligator and Maria is an ant.
What are you?

WORK ANIMALS

Whether you're busy as a beaver at work or an
underestimated ant with a bulldog-like bark
that's as bad as your bite, figuring out what
animal your work style is best represented by is
a great first step towards finding the career that's right for you.

Beaver
With few materials and no tools, beavers can
create amazing structures by the skin of their
teeth - literally! Beavers are known for their
unusual ability to single-handedly envision
solutions for projects with a scope far beyond
what could possibly be expected of them.

Alligator
Alligators use their smarts and their strength to
swiftly and stealthily approach towards their
target, swimming underwater and going unnoticed
until they come in for the kill and it is too
late for their chosen victim to escape.

Caterpillar
Caterpillars take their time absorbing
information about their surroundings, and can
appear to be dead weight until one day they
emerge as a beautiful, talented butterfly.
Caterpillars' 180-degree transformations seem
abrupt and instantaneous to others but to them it was always part of the plan.

Peacock
Peacocks are born with intelligence, good looks,
and a lovely grace about them but the problem is
that the peacock seems to know it and their swagger can be off-putting.

Monkey
Monkeys are known for their curiosity, their
jovial spirit, and their uncanny ability to
communicate effectively with others using
creative techniques as far-reaching as sign language and poop flinging.

Turtle
Slow and steady wins the race, and the determined
turtle is thick-skinned and calmly focused on long-lasting success.

Ant
Never underestimate the ant, who not only is the
epitome of a team player but who is also
super-strong, capable of carrying over 20 times their weight.

Parrot
Parrots talk a good game, but at the end of the
day, they're not saying anything new but are
actually only imitating what those around them say and do.

Bulldog
Unlike many animals whose bark is worse than
their bite, the territorial bulldog actually has
the terrifying power and ability to back up their
warning by doing some serious damage when threatened.

Vulture
Vultures do not care about the state of their
surroundings and have an eye only for
self-survival. Vultures are not self-starters and
are incapable of chasing and killing healthy
prey. Instead, vultures shamelessly swoop down
and pick clean the carcasses of the dead and
almost-dead for their own benefit, regardless of
the pain their victim might be in
