Tree Personality Test

I found this site while browsing, and I really like the artistic design of it. It's a tree personality test and after I tried to answered the questions provided, these below are my results, I am matches to hazel, beech and cedar trees, kind of interesting, huh. ;)

Hazel
Hazel is a tree renowned for its knowledge and wisdom. From ancient times, mastering of the arts and sciences was bound to the eating of Hazel nuts, since this wood can give you not only knowledge and wisdom, but also creativeness and inspiration.
Wisdom of Hazel is the wisdom of wide perspective; for this tree can see the situation objectively, from different points of view, and is able to completely understand it. Hazel likes both abstract theories and practical knowledge, using them appropriately for the purpose of finding the truth.
Having a calm and well-balanced nature, Hazel is, however, quite strong in character. This tree has a deep feeling of justice, and thus can be used to divine the guilt of persons in cases when crime has been committed. Setting the balance and solving various complicated situations is important Hazel's duty. This tree also has a distinct protective quality, though it will protect only those whom it considered to be 'good'.
In magic, Hazel can be used almost for all purposes, especially for workings that involve seeking the truth and gaining information. Despite the inner strength and the ability to judge, Hazel's spirit is mainly perceptive, and because of that this wood is not very suitable for power-oriented spells.
Keywords: wisdom, gaining knowledge, objective understanding, inspiration, creativity, inner strength, finding the truth, fair judgment, ability to protect what is right, setting the balance.

There are two other trees aside from Hazel, which are strongly connected with 'knowledge'; namely, Rowan and Beech. However, despite this similarity, their principles are completely different. Hazel stays for 'integral understanding' and the ability to see the whole picture; Rowan – for deep and unexpected insight; and Beech – for knowledge gained from books or other material sources. 

Beech
Beech, along with Rowan and Hazel, is the tree commonly associated with knowledge. In this case, it is the kind of knowledge, which can be revealed mainly via 'material' sources, for example, in old objects, places and writings. This wood has a clear connection with ancient tradition and history and is thought to provide guidance from the past. Beech tree is overall optimistic and lucky, though conservatism and straightforwardness are not stranger to it. The nature of Beech is steady and stable; it symbolize a solid base upon one's value system is built. Despite the implied solidity, this wood is not stagnant or inert; quite the contrary, it provides excellent flow of energy (though doesn't hold energy well). Beech's strong connection to material aspect of life reveals itself when it comes to works involving 'creation': all things created 'in a Beech spirit' are strict, solid and defined, and they are lacking in fantasy sometimes, being too traditional and predictable.
In spiritual and magical workings, Beech is often used for spells dealing with material objects; but it can bring stability and balance to almost any spell or charm. Due to its ability to conduct energy, Beech does well as mediator and in that quality can be used in various rituals. In addition to it, this wood's spirit is favourable to gaining wealth and bringing luck.
Keywords: ancient knowledge preserved in material sources, tradition, past experience, flow of energy, solid foundation, distinctness, stability, lack of innovation, wealth, luck, straight nature, positive spirit.

Cedar
Cedar is a noble tree with fair and generous nature. Usually associated with prosperity and wealth, Cedar can be distinguished from other trees with similar symbolism (such as Maple) by its inner strength and inclination for leadership. This tree is undoubtedly honest and sincere, and is often seen as the embodiment of high moral qualities. Cedar personifies the wise ruler and reliable guardian, like a king in the time of peace, who dedicated himself not to wars and battles, but to peaceful development of his country. At first sight not as powerful as, for example, Oak, Cedar, however, is not inferior to this wood; the matter is that Cedar's strength is more composed and thus less noticeable. This tree is extremely good protector and defender, and does best in driving off and banishing evil spirits and negative influences. It is also known for its generally positive spirit and for the ability to withstand unfavourable circumstances.
Cedar is all-purpose tree and can be used in various magical and occult practices, but its primarily use is for protection against evil influences. This wood strengthens you spirit, calms unnecessary passions and increases resistance. In addition to that, Cedar is also used for achieving prosperity as wealth, and can help in gaining respect and recognition.
Keywords: generosity, fairness, noble origin, prosperity, wealth, steadiness, resistance, inner strength, wise ruler in the time of peace, guardian, protection from evil spirits, respect and recognition.
