An initial reaction refers to the immediate response or first impression that a person has when encountering a situation, stimulus, or information for the first time. It's often an instinctive or reflexive response that occurs before more deliberate thinking or analysis takes place. Initial reactions can be influenced by emotions, prior experiences, and individual perceptions, and they may not always align with a person's more considered or rational response after further reflection.
Because of this, our initial reactions to situations can also reveal our true nature, or in other words, our personality. Personality describes the unique patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that distinguish a person from others. It's a product of both biology and the environment, remaining fairly consistent throughout life.
Many psychologists have contributed to categorizing personality types into groups. You may have heard of The Big Five, Myers-Briggs, or the Personality Types in Human Design. However, have you ever heard of the Cowboy Fairy Angel Knight Test?
The idea is that there are only four personality types. Everyone is either a cowboy, a fairy, an angel, or a knight, and it only takes two questions that gather information based on your initial reaction responses to reveal which one you are. You can take the Cowboy Fairy Angel Knight test below. All you have to do is answer honestly and remember your answers to the two questions.
Cowboy Fairy Angel Knight Test (CFAK)
#1 You just got something new in the mail. What is your initial reaction? Are you the type of person to read the manual before you use it?
Do you typically read instructions before you use something new? Yes or no? Remember your answer.
#2 It’s the middle of the night and someone breaks into your house. What is your initial reaction? Are you the type of person to respond by going to find the intruder?
Some people grab a weapon and wait where they are, some people hide, others try to escape. Are you the type of person to actually go looking for the intruder? Yes or no?
Okay, so you’ve got your answers which should be some sort of Yes-No combination. Let’s find out what your answers say about you.
No-No
If you answered no-no, you’re a fairy.
Congratulations, you are the rarest psychological type of all four. If you have a fairy in your life, know that this person is magical, and once you understand that, you'll understand them much better.
Many neurodivergents are bound to be fairies because fairies think very differently.
Fairies don't have a hateful bone in their body, but unfortunately, they still end up making many people uncomfortable simply because they don't like to follow rules.
No-Yes
If you answered no-yes, you are a cowboy.
Cowboys are confident and fearless, and they’re willing to take risks and fail. Cowboys create the world around us.
They are discoverers. Entrepreneurs, bound to be cowboys. Creators, artists, writers, hackers.
Cowboys are people who love being on the edge, whether that be on the edge of emerging tech, or being trendsetters. Cowboys aren’t afraid of the unknown, they welcome it. They’re not afraid to put themselves or their opinions and perspectives out there.
Yes-No
If you answered yes-no, you’re an angel.
You are a light in this world. If you’re an angel, get in the comments and let me know if you have had multiple experiences of people trying to protect you, almost as if people intuitively try to keep you safe.
And at the same time in other ways you are probably the person letting people know that they are safe to be themselves, to express themselves. Strangers probably open up to you like a book and they don’t know why. But its because you have a very pure feeling energy that makes people feel lighter.
Yes-Yes
And if you answered yes-yes, you’re a knight.
Knights keep the world from falling apart. Knights are builders and protectors. They’re engineers, veterans, scientists, construction. They construct and build the world as we know it.
Knights care about things like honor, courage, duty, loyalty, and they’re the type of people to strive to be a better person today than they were yesterday, but knights are ride or dies.
They may be good people but you should know that if push comes to shove, a knight is a never going to be a push over. Do not let their charm fool you, they are ready to fight for what they believe in.
What do you think of the results of the test? Do you agree that your initial reactions reveal a lot about your personality? Leave me a comment on my TikTok or Instagram and let me know, and share this with a friend to see whether they too are a cowboy, fairy, an angel or a knight.
