So, I took The Desert Test...
Based on Japanese Archetypes the desert represents a hardship. Each of the animals represents an aspect of your life. The order in which you sacrifice the animals might be said to represent the importance of these things to you. The one that you sacrificed first is the least important, and the one that you kept is the most important.
1 You sacrificed the Lion. The Lion represents pride.
I sacrificed the lion because I thought he'd eat all the other animals first.
2 You sacrificed the Monkey. The Monkey represents your children.
I don't have any children. I sacrificed the monkey because he was useless baggage.
3 You sacrificed the Sheep. The Sheep represents friendship.
I sacrificed the sheep because the other two could still help me. And the sheep would have been terribly hot under all that wool.
4 You sacrificed the Cow. The Cow represents basic needs.
Sacrificed the cow because one can't ride them very well, and it was probably out of milk by then.
5 You kept the Horse. The Horse represents your passion.
Duh! I've been riding the horse all along!
Like Anne, I put way too much thought into this, methinks...
