Worst personality traits of all the Chinese zodiac signs include one that's 'egotistical'

Whichever year you were born, you will fall under one of 12 Chinese zodiac signs, from the Rat to the Pig, but what does your zodiac say about your personality?

By Chanelle Georgina, Senior Reporter

According to Chinese astrology, each zodiac sign – represented by an animal – has a predetermined personality aspect, which can impact compatibility in love and friendships.

Not only that, by becoming aware of the worst traits a person has, you can minimise the risk of being caught off-guard by their behaviour (although all surprises can't be preempted). 

Could you spend a lifetime with someone who checks all the right boxes, but you then discover they are stubborn and calculating?

By finding out the worst personality traits of each zodiac sign, including your own, would you be willing to accept people's flaws for all the positives they bring to the table?

Or would you see how incompatible you really are and go your separate ways?
