About This Quiz
Have you ever wondered what kind of pure-bred dog you're really like? Most people assume that they should be matched to the dog breeds that most resemble them, i.e., if you're a fluffy blonde Reese Witherspoon type, you should be represented by a Pomeranian, or if you look just like Idris Elba, your pure-bred doppelganger is a St. Bernard.
However, in actuality, dog breeds have many distinctive traits that have nothing to do with their appearances. For instance, poodles may look silly and frivolous, but they're actually extraordinarily smart and athletic. On the other hand, Rottweilers appear fierce but in fact are wonderful family dogs, getting along especially well with children.
In order to honor the more complicated side of dog breeds, this quiz focuses on behavior. Instead of trying to find out which pure-bred dog you look like, we want to know which breed you act like! To find this out, we're going to ask you how you'd respond in a number of hypothetical situations, from the fun (Which Property Brother would you rather marry?) to the serious (What would you do if you found your boss going through your cell phone?). In each instance, we ask that you answer honestly so we can accurately match you to the breed that fits you best. Ready to get started? Let's play!
Your new boyfriend's ex asks you out for coffee. What do you say?
"Girl, why?"
"Alrighty, I guess ... "
"No. I'm not here for your drama."
"Sure, sounds like fun!"

It's 1932 and you're stuck in the Alaskan tundra, running a lonely tavern. A man you like but aren't attracted to asks you to marry him. Do you agree?
Yeah. I'm bored!
Yes. Perhaps we will grow to love one another?
No. Alaska is dope and I'm having a great time.
How unattractive is he?

"Would you mind if I took a shot at editing this, Daddy?"

Career-wise, you're going nowhere, but you have security and enough money to get by. Is this a good or a bad situation?
It's fine, as long as I have enough money to buy myself cool treats!
It's wonderful. I crave stability far more than riches.
This situation sucks! I want more cash and I want more power!
I think I'd like to advance in my career, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough.

Your sister's husband is abusive. One day, she murders him in self-defense. Do you help her cover it up?
I don't help her but I don't report her either. I'm staying out of it!
I report her. Murder is wrong, no matter who does it or why.
Obviously, I help her cover it up. This guy was an abuser; he deserved it.
I convince her to turn herself in and spend my savings on the best lawyer money can buy.

As a prank, a friend puts bouillon cubes in your showerhead, so that you bathe in chicken broth. How do you get back at her?
I replace her face cream with Icy Hot. Ouch, ouch, witch!
I don't prank her; I just mope sadly about the house.
I sneak laxatives into her lunch and stick burrs into her shoes.
I never mention the incident, depriving her of the satisfaction of knowing she got to me.

You have two choices: live a normal life, age at a typical rate and die, or live forever as an eight-year-old. Which one do you choose?
I'd choose to be an eternal eight-year-old, like Kirsten Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire."
I'd want a normal life span. Anything else sounds tragic.
I was planning on living fast and dying young anyway.
This choice is too depressing!

By accident, you find out that your father-in-law has been training your baby to call him "Daddy." How do you handle it?
I gossip about it with EVERYONE. What a weirdo!
I ask my partner to reason with him. I don't want my baby confused.
I ban him from the house. That man is not right.
I ask if we can switch to "Granddaddy" instead. I don't want my family ripped apart over a minor incident like this.

Both of the Property Brothers (Jonathan and Drew) are in love with you. They're identical twins, but Jonathan works with his hands while Drew is more of a businessman. Who do you pick?
Drew. I want to be rich, and Drew has the makings of a mogul.
Drew seems tender-hearted, like me. I'm a huge fan of soft boys.
Jonathan 100%. He's skilled, muscular and rugged.
I like Jonathan's strong work ethic. I'm a behind-the-scenes person myself and resent how Drew just makes a few phone calls while Jonathan rebuilds houses with his bare hands.

What's your biggest regret?
I'm sorry I didn't make out with more cuties in high school.

I wish I'd gone to a better college. Maybe I'd be making $$$ now.

Would you rather live in a large, poorly built house or a tiny, perfectly renovated apartment?
The tiny apartment. I'm not a homebody, so I don't need much room.
I'd pick the big shabby house. I like a homey, run-down atmosphere.
I'm a slob so I'll take the house, please.
I want a small apartment because I love neatness and order.

Yup, if they're rich.
Yes, if they've got a beautiful soul.
No. Doesn't sound very hot.
No. I want someone I can grow old with, not someone who's already old.

Let's say that you're living in "The Truman Show," i.e., your friends and family don't really love you; they're just actors. However, the real world outside is dangerous. Do you stay in your "Truman Show" simulation?
Yes. As long as people act nice, I don't care if they are nice.
No. I'm curious about what's really out there.
No. I want real love, not fake love.
Yes. It's worked so far; why change?

I fling open the curtains and yell, "Hey! What are you doing?"
I listen for a few minutes before doing anything. Maybe it's a false alarm.

Perfect butt. It's what the people want.
Perfect abs. I love midriff shirts!

What does "perfect" mean? Every butt is perfect to someone.

If you could start life again at age 17, but had to live it in a rough era such as the 1850s, would you?
No. I love Netflix, gelato and face masks too much.
Would I get to wear old-timey clothes and go on fun adventures?
Yes, that's actually my fantasy. I'd own so many horses!
Hmm, the past is dangerous, and it's possible I could die of cholera or an infected scratch. I'll stay here.

Ugh, no, sounds exhausting.
Of course! What am I, a selfish monster?

Rachel! She's pretty AND smart.

Would you rather smell indescribably good or have perfect hair?
I want perfect hair. It's great for the ego.
I'd rather smell good since there's nothing more appealing.
I already have perfect hair, so I'll take the "smelling good" option.
My hair is a mess that I spend too much time on, so you know which option I'm going with.

Imagine that you could save the lives of hundreds of people by only eating 700 calories a day. Would you?
Nah. I'd be hungry and cranky all the time and that's no way to live.
I would do it for at least one year.
No, but I'd make up for it by donating to water and hunger charities.
Yes. It sucks but is the only moral choice.

Boring person. You've got to make time to actually live your life.
Superhero. I could never lead a dull life.
Boring person. I'm already boring and don't like change!
