Dinosaur Quiz compatibility chart
For each of the 8 creatures from the age of dinosaurs, two that are easy to be with and one that may clash. A clash does not mean either side is wrong — they simply value different things.
Pteranodon
- Easy together Velociraptor Velociraptor also sets a target and moves fast. Since they get going at the same speed, neither keeps the other waiting. It makes a good pairing: Pteranodon, with its eye-catching crest, points the way, and Velociraptor, traveling light, quickly follows.
- Easy together Triceratops Triceratops also carries a big marker — its frill. It joins in the fun of showing off in the same spirit, and because it stands its ground, it becomes a calm place for Pteranodon to come back to after flying around.
- May clash Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus keeps slowly eating leaves from high branches. Pteranodon takes off toward its target right away, while Brachiosaurus settles in and takes its time, so their sense of when to move doesn't line up, and each can be thrown by the other's timing.
Velociraptor
- Easy together Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus is also unadorned and sets clear targets. With a big partner who takes its time and holds steady, nimble Velociraptor can safely scout ahead, and the job of reporting what it finds falls to it naturally.
- Easy together Gallimimus Gallimimus also runs light, with nothing but itself. They get moving at the same speed, and from all the things Gallimimus finds here and there, Velociraptor can pick one target and turn it into something right away.
- May clash Spinosaurus Spinosaurus raises its big sail and waits patiently by the water for its chance. Velociraptor wants to move right away and handle things on its own, while Spinosaurus prefers to settle in and wait. Even with the same target, they differ in how soon they start and how they present themselves, so their plans easily cross.
Spinosaurus
- Easy together Pteranodon Pteranodon is also thought to have caught fish and also zeroes in on a target. Spinosaurus waits at the water's edge while Pteranodon swoops down fast from the sky, so even with the same goal they approach it differently and have a lot to learn from each other.
- Easy together Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus also stands its ground and takes its time. It never hurries anyone who's waiting, so Spinosaurus can hold its position at its own pace.
- May clash Gallimimus Gallimimus is unadorned, light on its feet, and nibbles a little of everything here and there. Spinosaurus settles in to wait for one chance, while Gallimimus dashes toward whatever catches its eye. They spend the same stretch of time in completely different ways, and together, one of them tends to get tired of waiting.
Tyrannosaurus
- Easy together Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus also stands its ground with a big, unadorned body. Neither is in a hurry, so they can keep their own rhythm around each other. To Tyrannosaurus, focused on its target, Brachiosaurus brings ideas gathered from a wide view.
- Easy together Velociraptor Velociraptor also zeroes in on targets, but it moves fast and light. For Tyrannosaurus, who settles in and takes its time, it's a reassuring partner who goes ahead and reports back on how things look.
- May clash Pachycephalosaurus Pachycephalosaurus shows off its domed head and leaps lightly into all sorts of things. While Tyrannosaurus is carefully sizing up one target, Pachycephalosaurus has already started three other things, and each finds the other's moves hard to read.
Pachycephalosaurus
- Easy together Gallimimus Gallimimus also nimbly samples all sorts of things. Both can head straight for whatever catches their interest, so going out together means even the detours are fun. Unadorned Gallimimus is always happy to take a casual look at whatever Pachycephalosaurus wants to show off.
- Easy together Triceratops Triceratops also had a striking ornament around its head and ate plants, and fossils of both have been found in North American rock layers from the same period. Steady Triceratops settles in and listens to Pachycephalosaurus, who tends to dive into things.
- May clash Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus settles in on one target and doesn't dress things up. Pachycephalosaurus dives headfirst into all kinds of things and loves to show them off, so the two are opposites in both speed and presentation, and each can be thrown by the other's way of doing things.
Gallimimus
- Easy together Pachycephalosaurus Pachycephalosaurus also nimbly reaches for all kinds of things. It enjoys turning what Gallimimus finds into stories and creations, which gives those finds a next life.
- Easy together Velociraptor Velociraptor also moves fast, with nothing but itself. For Gallimimus, who dashes off with no destination in mind, being with Velociraptor and its clear targets means coming home without too many detours.
- May clash Spinosaurus Spinosaurus raises its sail and patiently waits for one chance. Gallimimus dashes toward whatever catches its eye while Spinosaurus settles in to wait, so their sense of whether to move easily drifts apart, and each can find the other frustrating.
Triceratops
- Easy together Brachiosaurus Brachiosaurus also eats plants and stands its ground. They share the same unhurried pace, and Brachiosaurus's stories from its wide view broaden the outlook of Triceratops, who stays in one spot.
- Easy together Spinosaurus Spinosaurus also holds up a big marker — its sail — and stands its ground. The way Spinosaurus picks a target and waits shows Triceratops, who grazes on whatever is around, what it looks like to “narrow it down to one.”
- May clash Velociraptor Velociraptor is unadorned and jumps straight at whatever it's aiming for. While Triceratops is still getting ready, wanting to settle in and sort out the steps, Velociraptor has already finished on its own and moved on, so it's hard for them to match each other's speed.
Brachiosaurus
- Easy together Tyrannosaurus Tyrannosaurus also stands its ground and doesn't dress things up. With Tyrannosaurus narrowing things down to one target around, even Brachiosaurus's wide-ranging talk finds somewhere to land.
- Easy together Triceratops Triceratops also stands its ground, grazing the plants around it. They share the same slow rhythm, and Triceratops, with its clear markers, gets their shared ideas across to others on behalf of unadorned Brachiosaurus.
- May clash Pteranodon Pteranodon, crest held high, swoops down fast on its prey. Brachiosaurus settles in and grazes widely, while Pteranodon takes off at once, so they differ in how fast they talk and how fast they decide, and each finds the other's pace hard to grasp.
