About This Quiz

If you're obsessed with the iconic Disney film "The Little Mermaid," then perhaps you're secretly a mermaid in disguise! After all, the ocean has lively sea creatures, beautiful coral and many underwater caves to explore. So before you take this aquatic quiz, let's take a swim through some mermaid mythology first!

Mermaids are known for their beauty and are famously portrayed in stories like "The Mermaid," "The Sirens" and "The Little Mermaid" (the latter of which was written by Hans Christian Anderson in 1837). While many mermaids seem to be fun, playful and caring creatures, others may have an evil side to their personality. Some are known for hypnotizing sailors with their beauty and enchanting singing voice (which ultimately leads these sailors to their demise). But for the most part, mermaids are exotic and friendly beings who want to be friends with humans and other sea animals. So, ask yourself this: What would you be like as a mermaid? Would you swim with sharks and hunt smaller fish, or would you explore the depths of the ocean by yourself? Whatever your answer may be, it's time to find out your true mermaid nature with this shimmering personality quiz!
