You're a Clownfish!
Motto: Hey, I've had another idea!
Clownfish are energetic, creative and busy fish. They often find new and clever ways of doing things, preferring variety and action to peace and quiet.
Enthusiastic Clownfish are imaginative problem-solvers. They are always happy to improvise and are great at getting things done last minute.
Naturally creative, Clownfish strive to be different and develop a unique style.
They are often risk-takers who prefer original thinking rather than playing by the rules - this is when their persuasiveness comes in handy.
- Like moving onto new things, novelty and surprise, as easily bored and distracted
- Imaginative with a great sense of humour
- Often popular at school but can be a threat to some teachers and adults who don't appreciate their point of view!
- Drawn to express themselves through drama, words or art
- Dislike being told what to do - they'd rather work things out for themselves
- Usually fun to be with
Visionary Clownfish value harmony and tend to nurture their team. Sometimes their desire to create a meaningful impact in the world whilst working in organisations with strict targets or objectives can cause personal stress.
Prioritize, focus and complete the important stuff.

Lots of Clownfish enjoy working with people in a fast-paced environment.
