The Pig Test
- Time Required: 5 minutes
- Size of Group: Unlimited
- Materials: Paper, Marker Pen
- An icebreaker that can be used to add a bit of humour
Procedure
- Give each person a sheet of paper and a marker pen and tell
them to draw a pig
- After everyone has finished drawing their pig, read out the
following information: “The pig serves as a useful test of
personality traits of the drawer. If the pig is drawn
- towards the top of the paper, you are positive and
optimistic
- towards the middle, you are realistic
- towards the bottom, you are pessimistic and have a tendency
to behave negatively
- facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly and
remember dates birthdays
- facing right, you are innovative and active, but don’t have
a strong sense of family, nor do you remember dates
- facing front on, you are direct, enjoy playing devil’s
advocate and neither fear nor avoid discussions
- with many details, you are analytical, cautious and
distrustful
- with few details, you are emotional, you care lithe for
details and are a risk taker
with fewer than 4 legs showing, you are insecure or are living
through a period of major change
- with 4 legs showing, you are secure, stubborn and stick to
your ideals, if there are more than 4 legs, you are stupid!
- The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are —
the bigger the better!
- “Who didn’t draw a tail on their pig?” The length of the
tail indicates the quality of your sex life — again more is
better. “OK, so who had the longest tail?”
