This 1936 Economist Can Determine Your TRUE Spirit Animal In Five Questions
He coined the term "animal spirits." He ran the numbers. He knew everyone in Bloomsbury, in every sense. Now he knows you.
Five questions. I shall then pronounce upon your animal spirits. I kept quarterly statistics on everything. Everything.
A parody quiz, except for the answers. Every option you were offered is a thing he actually did: the bedroom telephone trading, the ballerina, the pigs, the alchemy papers, the Cezanne abandoned in a hedge, the ruin of 1920 and the fortune after it, the confessional papers read aloud to friends, the treatise on probability, the theatre he built and gave away. The phrase "animal spirits" and the quotation on your result are his own, from chapter 12 of the General Theory (1936). The ledger is real. The nil years are real. The initials are real. Economists measure. Not financial advice, not psychological advice, certainly not romantic advice. Nothing is recorded, your spirit stays on your device.
