My Chinese New Year sign is the Rat. According to characteristics of that animal, someone who is a rat is loyal, generous, charming, and quick tempered. I agree with the characteristics that it gives. I enjoy helping other red, therefore I am generous. I can always get mad easily, so yes, I can be quick tempered. One thing I don't agree with the animal though, is that the rat is unapologetic and self seeking. I don't believe I am like that because I usually do everything for others, not myself.
