I would like to initiate a small investigation into how our favourite characters reflect on who we are or who we want to be. I am sure you are all aware of many of the characters from Winnie The Pooh, so I shall use them as examples.

Analysing the Characters

Winnie the Pooh:

• Optimist
• Loyal
• Never gives up

Eeyore:

• Pessimist
• Depressed
• Dopy

Tigger:

• Energetic
• Confident
• Pompous

Piglet:

• Determined
• Tries to be brave
• Noble

Owl:

• “Wise”
• Imaginative
• Flustered

Analysing Yourself

The best way to figure out your own personality is by asking your friends and family to give you three or four words to describe yourself. I have also found it interesting to see what people online think of you.

Here is a short list of words that a variety of people have said about me:

older, polite, funny, unusual, determined, good writer, helpful, easy going, unpredictable, humorous, comforting, weird, mad, weird, confused, delighted, loyal, helpful, thoughtful, wierd

Update: I will edit this as more people give me words about myself. Have you noticed this trend of “weird” and its synonyms?!

What do people say about you? What do you believe? Which character are you? Please share with us all!
