If you were like me, someone who grew up in the 90's, you were obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You watched the cartoon series. You watched the movies (even that ridiculous third one). You even watched the reboot where they introduced Venus De Milo (which we all agreed to pretend never really existed).
What you may not have known is that your favorite ninja turtle actually says a great deal about you. There have been many scientific studies showing that your favorite ninja turtle is a very strong predictor of both your personality and your future decisions in life.(1)
Don't worry readers, I've done the research and compiled the general character traits associated with each turtle.
Leonardo
If Leonardo was your favorite ninja turtle, you value leadership. You are likely the responsible one in your group of friends. You are very big on honor and doing the right thing even when others are trying to push you into another direction. You respect your elders and at the same time try to learn from their mistakes. You also were likely the first born. You are trustworthy, kind, gentle and dependable.
Raphael
If Raphael was your favorite ninja turtle, you value action. You aren't the type that likes to think things through before you act. You have a very "act first, ask questions later" type of attitude. You value getting things done. You also may be a bit of a hot-head or have a short temper. You are the type of person to rally a group of people to protest. You cannot stand watching your friends get pushed around or taken advantage of and you will be quick to act. You are forceful, direct, quick and loud.
Michelangelo
If Michelangelo was your favorite ninja turtle, you value having a good time. You enjoy spending time with friends and making sure everyone is having fun. You tend to be the life of the party and enjoy hosting social events. You could be in a room full of human hating aliens and within 20 minutes you would have plans with them for happy hour. You are very good at reading the emotions of others and while you may not lead the team, you are great at keeping the team together. You are easy going, quirky, energetic, and affable.
Donatello
If Donatello was your favorite ninja turtle, you don't know the meaning of favorite. Please go to a dictionary and then choose one of the correct answers. What? Your answer is still Donatello? Oh, you must have just heard of ninja turtles through this article and just picked one at random. I'm sorry for your terrible luck. Wait, you say you grew up watching the shows and you just really like Donatello? Okay, well, the studies show that if Donatello was your favorite ninja turtle, you are a sociopath. Please alert the authorities. If you aren't sure what to tell the, just tell them that Donatello is your favorite ninja turtle. They'll activate the protocol.
