Paraphrasing a Skype convo this morning
—–
S:
So lemme ask you a question, you have 5 travelling companions: a cow, a sheep, a horse, a monkey, and a lion. Halfway through the travel, you had to throw the animals away one by one. In what order would you throw them away?
E:
What? What sort of question is that
S:
Just a fun question! Tell me the order
E:
…. (30 seconds deep in thought)
E:
And you say these animals are my friends??
S:
Yes. Come on, it ‘s not that hard.
E:
… (another 15 seconds of thinking)
E:
Shit, I don’t like throwing away friends…
E:
I’m on a boat right?
S:
I didn’t mention a boat, but fine ok you’re on a boat.
E:
Ok, so I think I will throw away the biggest animals first because the boat is presumably sinking, so the lion, then the-
S:
No! You can’t think like that!
Ok, I’m changing it. You’re not on the boat anymore. You’re just travelling normally on land.
E:
What….? Ok, fine. Then I think I’ll throw away the chickens because they’re useless…
S:
Huh? There are no chickens, where did you get chickens

The slow thinking could be partially caused by the Skype connection lag and lack of clarity in the early morning/late night. But yeah, I guess a personality test does tell you the personality of the person not just based on the answers, but you can also learn a lot through their thought process too.
By the way,
Cow: Food, Livelihood
Sheep: Significant Other
Horse: Career
Monkey: Children
Lion: Parents
