About This Quiz

Love them or hate them, sharks are a necessary part of Mother Nature that helps to bring balance to our world. Without them, the oceanic food chain would be out of control and global warming would increase at a rapid rate. But even though sharks are doing us a favor, many people still view them as highly terrifying sea creatures. They also show no mercy to animals and human beings (or anything that is considered food to them). And speaking of food, if you're the type of person who likes to eat just about anything, then you're probably more like a shark than you realize!

Like humans, sharks also have many similar personality traits. For example, some sharks are a little more sociable, while others prefer to swim all by themselves. Does this sound familiar? Maybe you're the type of person who prefers to be alone, or you may be someone who has many friends and acquaintances. Some sharks are also risk-takers, which means that they aren't afraid of attacking fish that are bigger than them. So whether or not you have this kind of sense of adventure lurking within your soul, it's time for you to take our aquatic quiz now!
