The Monkey personality
Born in the Year of the Monkey, you are the person everyone wants on their team — and the person who rarely asks for a seat. You are quick, wry, and endlessly curious, and you have a talent for finding the clever path through problems that stop other people cold. You think fast and say things fast, which makes you a great conversationalist and an occasionally dangerous one. You value wit, independence, and a sense of humor that can survive bad news. You are not easily impressed, and people feel it: your approval means something because you do not give it away. Beneath the playful surface, you are more serious than you let on, and you take a few things very seriously indeed. You learn by doing, you bond by laughing, and you stay for the people who can keep up — or at least try.
