Animal Type

[Jesin]

It all seems so pointless to me...

Well, what doesn't?
(EDIT: Sorry, this isn't the place for that discussion.)

 

[Perseus]

I find the animals easier. I still cannot think of any changes for the better.

Lots of sub-animals like Budgie, Owl, Weasel (this one is known to be used by psychologists), Terrapin (suspected used), Spider (subgroup of Butterfly), Unicorn (horrendiously dangerous if crossed = homicidal maniac).

 

[Anti-socialite]

I find many of the types quite inaccurate.

ISFPs are not like cats, they are actually very loyal. They love to aid others and feel needed.

ENTJs are not protective of the herd, they have no compassion for the herd at all. ENTJs allow the weak to be picked off and push the strong to be stronger. ENTJs are always looking to the future, they aren't grazers they're hunters.

INFPs are not magical. They are simply reclusive. I don't see why they have been given a mythical creature instead of simply a fox or something. Also you need to consider the powerful connotations of a dragon, I don't see how these apply to the INFP. They are much more like a fox, loved by myth and hated by man.

INTJ as hawk works but I really think owl would be more accurate. The near supernatural sensory capabilities of an owl match the INTJ's extroverted intuition very well, and the INTJ is not the type to scream just before snatching it's prey, they come quietly and without care for glory.

ESTP as tiger I don't really get either, Tigers are solitary creatures and they are absolutely malicious. A tiger is the symbol for evil in many cultures. Why not a leopard, something with less fearsome connotations.

INTP as eagle really makes no sense to me at all. INTPs are not huge glorious war symbols. They tend to be pretty vulnerable and emotionally unstable people actually. I see them as cheetahs, avoiding large predators, capable of incredible feats but spend most of their time lying around watching the sahara.

When you explain it like that, I think the cheetah is the perfect INTP mascot.

 

[Anti-socialite]

I am curious. Why do you want to have "animal types" associated with the MBTI??

Weird. I thought the original poster was simply asking what animal we associated our personalities with individually. I didn't know we were pinning them to the MBTI.

 

[Perseus]

As part of self criticism (I am not sure that this is a INTP trait) I take on board that Bulls are grazers. NTs should take on high grade information and this one may need correction. ESTJ Rats may in fact be the Bullies, leaving ENTJ to be LIONS, perhaps.

 

[Dissident]

Unicorn (horrendiously dangerous if crossed = homicidal maniac).

Haha, this guy is funny and/or crazy.

 

[murkrow]

I don't think that you have properly typed yourself.
Everything about what you're doing here screams INFJ.

There is no scrap of extroverted thinking (the secondary function of INTPs that causes so much debate on this forum) in the way you've interacted with us. You have generally ignored all of our points. You haven't even brushed off the criticism, you simply ignore it.

The urge to build systems like this is a strongly J trait, something that I can relate to but very few others here seem to, since they're all Ps.

"INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives."

"Not a Dragon. This is INFP. I was attacked by an ESFJ and suffered temporary brain damage and this changed my personality for a year to INFP. I felt very strange!"

My girlfriend of 4 years was an INFJ and she often went through drastic and reactionary personality shifts. There was lots of "I'm a different person now." and "Life changing experience.".

"They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand.(...) Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions."

 

[Perseus]

I still can't post properly. Going down the pub. I wonder if the Sparrowhawk will be there?

 

[Perseus]

All INs do this. There is only so far the criticisms can go. Anybody can choose , if they want to, to pronounce judgement on inadequate information. The workplace demands it.

I have visions of Lemmings rushing over the edge of the cliff. This is just peotry as they do not do this in the real world.

It is deemed (by me) do be flying creatures. The only way the Introvert can see the wood from the trees is from above.

The Butterfly only flies for brief periods and does not really see the wood anyway.

There is a lot of the Questor in me, but when the questions have been incorporated, that comes the vision and designing stage.

 

[murkrow]

What makes them fly?

I don't understand.

 

[Perseus]

The change of ENTJ to Lion and ESTJ to Bull makes more sense.

Intuition failing with detail. This Keirsey stuff is new to me.

Hello,

Modern Animism (Indecision and Reversion)

After a night's sleep I have decided to revert to the original:

> ENTJ: "Field Marshall" = BULL 5% Mobilizing [Executives]
> ESTJ: "Administrator" = RAT 13% Enforcing [Guardians]

The first ENTJ is the relentless intimidation feels like being pounded into the ground by some heavyweight animal, unless somehow the target of the bullying can rise above it.
The second ESTJ is just bullying by proxy.
There excuse is "lack of time", "got to get things done", as they crush their victims under the relentless boot. But they are not the worst horror to be revealed.

The World of Modern Personality Types:

What makes them fly?

I don't understand.

Flights of imagination. Imagination probably results from frustration.

 

[Kuu]

Weird. I thought the original poster was simply asking what animal we associated our personalities with individually. I didn't know we were pinning them to the MBTI.

He said so at the very first post of the thread.....

My system building tendency wants animal types allocated to all personality types.

I find the animals easier. I still cannot think of any changes for the better.

Maybe the animals are better for your personal comprehension. But we don't understand the entire network of biased cultural and personal associations between the chosen animals and the types.

We INTPs (nay, everyone besides yourself) need that you offer us a clear logical dissection of your system, before we can begin to understand and give better answers.

I think that because of the huge amount of baggage the "animal types" carry, it is indeed a step back from the more clearly defined and "culture agnostic" definitions based on the 4 axes...

Your "animal types" seems to me merely a superficial, descriptive system of observed characteristics and interactions that is correlated to animals; whereas the MBTI seems to more deeply attempt to explain the personalities based on core motivations and methods...

I don't see what added understanding there might be in "animal types"... indeed I think it takes away or ignores many important concepts of psychological typing... and to top that off it is all muddled by the huge lens of subjectivity that is required to decipher it...

 

[murkrow]

Rawr, I'm a lion.

^^^^^

That's the whole idea.

By developing animal types the person is able to romanticize themselves without having to deal with the negative aspects of their type.

It's no coincidence that he classed his own type as dragons.

 

[Perseus]

Jumping Badger changed his name (Or was that as others saw him?) to Sitting Bull as he got older.

Animism has not changed all that much since the Greek parables. A Camel never forgets. Universal memes or archetypes. I prefer the Keirsey system to astrology.

Hawkeye (INTJ) will nearly always find fault.

 

[murkrow]

Where there's fault to be found.

 

[Dissident]

Maybe he meant flaws?

 

[Perseus]

Intuition can be black or white or intermediate shades in between. If you are in the wrong place it will be Dante's hell. You may have to use one of your inferior functions?

http://soredragon.blogspot.com/2008/07/is-your-intuition-called-superstition.html

 

[murkrow]

What's the difference?

 

[Ogion]

Animism has not changed all that much since the Greek parables.

Nah, i am not an ethnologist, but i seriously doubt that! In every culture there are different views on topics like these. Just because we in the western world still see the owl like the old greeks did, that doesn't mean another culture would see it different.

A Camel never forgets.

Like that one. I never heard of it before. What wonder, i don't live in aregion with camels...

Ogion

 

[Dissident]

Arent Elephants the ones with good memory?

 

[Perseus]

Arent Elephants the ones with good memory?

They have got big ears. Don't know ???

 

[Ogion]

Yes, i heard it too, that elefants have good memories. (I mean that biologically; so factual, not opinionlike like in mythological or esoteric definitions)

Ogion

 

[Perseus]

Elifants are dangerous:

http://www.iflipflop.com/2006/08/incredible-story-about-elephants.html

 

[Aphasia]

Elephants with good memories: confirmed. Unless it was an isolated case. Owls are seen as harbingers of bad luck/ ill omens in some south-east asian cultures. Chinese (and to an extent, Japanese) dragons are benevolent rain-bringing gods (I'm using this term lightly) while the only type of Balinese dragon I know is a sun-eating monster. I don't care for camels.

@Perseus: What I can observe from your posts and the lack of some of them don't mesh right. Either you are deliberately trying to annoy others or your method of perception and self-expression are so different from mine that your replies are/ become distorted. At least I can understand what you try to say (I think).

 

[loveofreason]

I think Perseus' posts need to be read Intuition first, not Thinking. Approached with Ti, yes, they will be confusing. He's writing from Intuition, so engage your Ne.

 

[Dissident]

Q: Do I know how to do that?
A: Not by a long shot.

 

[Perseus]

What animals did you eat today?

 

[Ogion]

Well, if you mean that as you wrote it, than none. I am vegetarian.
otherwise you should explain it a little more than with six words.

Ogion

 

[Perseus]

I am a carnivore, vegetables are for smoking.

I prefer wild foods to the chemical cocktail of industrial agriculture.

 

[Ogion]

Well, will you send me a picture of you smoking some carrot?
You know, i just mentioned it, i don't want to start the typical vegetarian-carnivore-flamewar^^

By wild foods you mean you get hunting yourself? Or do you buy your meat at the supermarket? Because that would be much more of a cocktail (with lots of antibiotics and such)

Ogion

 

[Perseus]

Hunter-gatherer, but services engaged of agents to prepare crabs and lobsters, and fish as I am not a chef (an I don't like chefs much). Also, because I do not own any large areas of land, deer, pheasant, pigeon is purchased from the agents of the landowners or franchise operators.

Shrimps, prawns, cockles, blackberries are commonly collected.

I would eat 70% wild food by choice. But circumstance probably make it more like 20%.

 

[Apathy]

While I think an Owl is a great INTP animal another group of Animals that may have been overlooked are the reptiles.

Specifically the Chameleon or Alligator/Crocodile
-quiet observers until something catches their interest


Also if we were to go a cat, one of the best would probably be the Leopard

A good call. I have pencilled in the Croc at the INTP (Dragon) and Eagle (INTP) junction. But I was thinking of the Iguanas today.

A Crocodile cries inside but nobody sees his/her tears. They think he is making it all up.

This is because the exeperience of these personalities are outside that of Hawks and Owls (INTJ) and Wolves (ENTJ) who think they are so jolly clever when dealing with the Horses (ESFJ), Cats (ISFP), Leopards (ESTP variant) and others. A single Leopard can outwit a single Wolf.

These Wolves are so confident they might try on the Psi Cops trick of putting people they do not like in prison without trial. Or trial by endurance of their suspect and nasty games.

A Turtle shell is not just for baling out the leaky boat. Somebody lives inside.

An Owl (INTJ) can play with the Bears (ISTP) in the woods when the sun goes down. Alas, the Eagle has difficulties at the picnic. Too broad in the wings.

 

[IfloatTHRUlife]

Lol Perseus, i love your animal typology. Sometimes the connections you make between the animals and the actual personalities are kinda sketchy but it makes enough sense to follow. Something i would recommend would be to tell as many people about this as possible, people who don't know anything about MBTI mostly. This wont be beneficial to you but it will be fun to hear about what people think when you tell them about Owls having a picnic with bears and eagles lol.

Keep up the good work

 

[Perseus]

Arent Elephants the ones with good memory?

It just said on a video that African Elephants can go along time without drinking and swallow 60 gallons at one go. A bit like Camels (ESFJ variant), they have a good memory and can lie a lot and generally do.

[Auburn]

I took some time and sat down to think of your animal theory. I found a way which may be more accurate in categorizing types into animals - by using the cognitive functions as 'animal traits' instead. For instance:

The Eight Jungian Functions
​

Se = Alert (Hunters), Quirky


Si = Systemic, Traditional (i.e. Ants/Bees)


Ne = Free Spirited, Wild, Untamed


Ni = In tuned with mother nature (i.e. predict weather)


Te = Skilled, Tactful (i.e. a well organized hunting pack)


Ti = Solitary, Observant (cautious)


Fe = Playful, Warmhearted


Fi = Nurturing, Faithful, Protective (i.e. a mother bear for her cubs)




These definitions for each cognitive function would then be paired Dominant - Auxiliary to create an animal type. For instance:

INTP = Ti - Ne = Solitary Observer + Free-Spirited and Wild

One such creature who fits this description would indeed be the eagle. I can also see other animals that fit this description.

I do not have the imagination at the moment to come up with an animal for each type - but I leave it open to interpretation.

***
​

Also, just a little clarification about the way I've seen you interpret type theory thus far Perseus, and the way I believe it should be interpreted:

The scores you get in no way represent how extreme, or how much skill you have in any area. What it indicates is how CERTAIN you are that that is your letter.

If the score if an online MBTI test shows that you are 50%-50% T/F, this does not mean that you are INXP, or that your T and F are both equally developed. The test just wasn't able to properly discriminate which actually is your prefered function, but according to the MBTI, we all have a preference to one or the other. Cognitively speaking, it makes no sense to be both.

 

[Auburn]

Alright, let's see if this helps create some sort of direction. If anyone has any ideas for any specific type please list them down

ESFP = Se - Fi = Alert, Quirky + Motherly and Protective

ESTP = Se - Ti = Alert, Hunter + Vigilant, Observant

ISFJ = Si - Fe = Systemic (Consistent Life Style) + Loving, Expressive

ISTJ = Si - Te = Systemic, Traditional + Skillful, Tactful

ENTP = Ne - Ti = Wild, Free Spirited, Untamed + Independent

ENFP = Ne - Fi = Wild, Free Spirited + Family Oriented, Nurturing

INFJ = Ni - Fe = In tune with Nature, Prophetic + Warmhearted, Playful

INTJ = Ni - Te = In tune with Nature, Prophetic + Tactful Predator

ISTP = Ti - Se = Solitary Observer + Alert, Quirky

INTP = Ti - Ne = Solitary Observer + Free Spirited, Wild

ENTJ = Te - Ni = Tactful Leader, Marshall + Foresight, Awareness of Nature

ESTJ = Te - Si = Predator, Leader + Traditional, Unchanging

ESFJ = Fe - Si = Playful and Full of Life + Tamable, Able to be Domesticated

ENFJ = Fe - Ni = Playful and Lovable + Foresight, Awareness of Nature

ISFP = Fi - Se = Motherly and Nurturing + Quirky

INFP = Fi - Ne = Motherly, Committed to one Spouse + Wild, Free, Lively

I would knock out the nature for this one as well. Its just pretend.

ISTP = Ti - Se = Solitary Observer + Alert, Quirky

INTP = Ti - Ne = Solitary Observer + Free Spirited, Wild

ENTJ = Te - Ni = Tactful Leader, Marshall + Foresight, Awareness of Nature

I would discount the wareness of nature for this one

ESTJ = Te - Si = Predator, Leader + Traditional, Unchanging

Not really a leader at all, as it just follows the book

ESFJ = Fe - Si = Playful and Full of Life + Tamable, Able to be Domesticated

ENFJ = Fe - Ni = Playful and Lovable + Foresight, Awareness of Nature

ISFP = Fi - Se = Motherly and Nurturing + Quirky

INFP = Fi - Ne = Motherly, Committed to one Spouse + Wild, Free, Lively

Carefree and motherly don't ken. Carefree rules.

[Perseus]

Thanks for the input. I used a different intuitive rather than systematic method to arrive at the animal types. Intuition would be the way of an INTP.

A lot of my decisions were arrived at not by systematics but by observations of the types in practice, or myself.

I do not see many Panthers (or Lions) ESTP. Nor INTPs except for myself. Many more INTJs than INTPs, but INTPs may morph-shift quite a lot.

I am using intution. Research is more important than the tests to me.

My thinking has four components. Resolution is the one I lack almost completely. Lots of head and heart problems. Not much i it. Thinking leads in the day, Feeling at night.

Extraversion is subdued because ENTPs are not popular when there are Horseman (ESFJ) around and they are everywhere.

 

[Auburn]

I see...

In that case, more power to you.

Sorry if it seemed like I was replacing your work. I can see how a system may not work as well as intuitive perception. Ineed personal observation of each type in action does have more weight than a theoretical structure does.

According to this, I am an eagle, my mom is a dog, my dad is a snake, my sister is a tiger, my best friend is a dragon, and pretty much everyone I hate is a filthy rat.

Awesome. Time to buy some cheese and rat traps.
