11. A) Explorer
When you reach the island, all you want to do
is explore. There is so much to discover, and
you don't want to miss anything. You make
clothes out of durable material, and go out
on long exploratory hikes, bringing back
amazing treasures and information about the
rest of the island. You help everybody out by
figuring out where everything on the island is
located. In the end, your knowledge of the
island will get everyone rescued.
12. B) Animal Tamer
Your calm and peaceful personality
draws animals to you and you tame the
local wildlife. Due to your help, there is
a steady supply of food. Using animal
skin to make clothes, you are protected
from the elements. The messages that
you tie to your tamed birds, who in
their migration will find their way to
those who will rescue you and your
shipwrecked friends.
13. C) Settler of Disputes
Your diplomatic and logical personality
bring order to the chaos of being
shipwrecked on an island. Food and
supplies are rationed out by your
careful planning. Everything is shared,
and any disputes are brought to you to
decide. You become the leader of the
island because you know how to use
the skills and talents of everyone on
the island to survive.
14. D) Healer / Helper
Your first goal on the island is to keep
everyone safe and healthy. By
nurturing and caring for those who are
sick and weak, you become probably
the most loved person on the island.
With your healing skills and knowledge
of herbs that heal, you keep everyone
alive and thriving. When you all get
rescued, you will be the reason that so
many survived.
15. E) The Practical One
You are the down-to-earth person who
gets all the important things done.
While other people are complaining or
slacking, you are hard at work building
shelter, finding fresh water, mending
clothes, and preparing food. You figure
out how to do all the things that need
done and do them. You are finally
rescued after you organize the building
and maintenance of a huge fire to catch
the eye of your rescuers.
16. F) The Fun One
Far from practical, you bring fun and
excitement to dull island living. Organizing
parties, and cracking jokes, you take away
the pressures of survival. Wearing coconut
bras and grass skirts or party togas
fashioned out of burlap sacks, you know how
to liven up things. When everyone is dancing
and partying, life seems better. Your idea of
getting rescued involves sending a romantic
message in a bottle or spelling out HELP with
rocks in the sand. When you finally are
rescued, you'll be sad to leave the tropical
paradise you helped create.
