BBS Lab UK has a test which assigns web users to one of eight types of animal - what are you?

The poll options made me all excited that Raccoon might be an option, but alas not

I am a leopard, apparently, which given the description does seem to make sense.

I decided to add a couple of extra options for the benefit of people who read through the descriptions and didn't agree with any of them.

Apparently I'm an elk, which is more sociable than I expected to be rated.

I am a bear, I am a slow, socially inept idiot: the Forrest Gump of the Internet world.

I am an ostrich, the quickest type of animal that they categorised who loves socialising. Nailed.

I am a web fox.

Fast-moving - Web Foxes like you are great at finding information quickly, just as real-world foxes are always ready to pounce on an opportunity.

Sociable - Foxes are highly social animals, maintaining complex relationships with the other members of their social group. When you browse the web you are also a social creature, often using social networks, or other sites whose content is created by its users, as sources of information.

Adaptable - Web Foxes are highly adaptable multitaskers, able to do several things at the same time – just like real-world foxes who can rapidly change their behaviour to suit their environments.

I too am a web bear, so it seems. I will eat fish, insects, salmon and even scavenge in human refuse for new sources of food.

Probably for the best - imagine if it had been an option and you came up as something else. It would have been terrible.

I'd just have to learn what answers would have got me the raccoon outcome, and then modified my lifestyle accordingly.

BEAR. Rawr.

I am a web elephant which is like a web fox except slow. I think the test got me spot on. I'm ever so friendly and kind-natured but oh so clumbersome uh-oh! I'd probably mortally injure you if I came in for a hug. Also I have a sticky-outy ear and am fond of my trunk.

I'm a bear. Which I think would give me the edge, Dinos, in a hugging contest. Not that I'm offering.
