Information on how we can better understand and develop children! DRAW A PICTURE OF A PIG Theorists in Child Development

PIG DRAWING PERSONALITY ANALYSIS If your pig is drawn: Toward the top of the page, you are positive and optimistic. Toward the middle of the page, you are a realist. Toward the bottom of the page, you are pessimistic and have a tendency to behave negatively. If your pig is drawn: Facing left, you believe in tradition, you’re friendly and you remember important dates Facing right, you are innovative and active, but you don’t have a strong sense of family and you have trouble remembering dates. Facing front (looking at you), you are direct and enjoy playing devil’s advocate. You neither fear nor avoid discussions. With many details, you are analytical, cautious, and distrustful. With few details, you are emotional and naïve, care little for details, and like to take risks. With 4 legs showing, you are secure, stubborn, and stick to you ideas. With less than 4 legs showing, you are insecure and living through a period of major change. The size of you pig’s ears indicates how good a listener you are – the bigger the better The length of your pig’s tail tells the quality of your romantic life - the longer the better.
