Inner Personality type?

[Toad]

Okay. Just bear with me for a minute. I've been smoking some weed and thinking.

I was reading about chinese astrology and they said you can have an outer and inner type of animal.

I am a tiger on the outside and a tiger on the inside too.

So I get to thinking, even though I'm an INTP, I only act INTP 85% of the time. When i'm alone or with someone like my gf who knows me very well, I tend to be more E and F oriented.

What do you guys think?

I tend to have a more extraverted and feeling facade. I often end up acting like an INFP or ENFP on the outside. I'm only more I and T when I'm alone or when others around me are more T.

I find this interesting. How did you find out you are 100% tiger?

And I don't understand. If you are 100% tiger, why aren't you consistently the same?

LoL. I was born in the year of the tiger so I'm an outer tiger. The inner type is based on the hour. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_zodiac#The_days

Guess I'm a tiger snake, which I believe is a real animal. You're a William Blake poem.

I was thinking about something like this before. I know that what I believe and what I believe about myself and what I act out or present to the world are two different things. It's hard to express what I mean exactly.

Double dragon... whatever that means.

ram ox. Would I be a sheep with cow hide? Enormous sheep with straight horns? Sheep that says moo? I'm a bit confused.

Horse Tiger. Both, according to wiki, third trine:

The third trine consists of the Tiger, Horse, and Dog. These three signs seek a true lover, and are like-minded in their pursuit of humanitarian causes. Each is a gifted orator and excels at verbal communication. Relationships and personal contact are of highest priority and each one seeks their intimate soul mate. Idealistic and impulsive, the Tiger, Horse and Dog follow the beat of their own drummer. Defiant against injustice, these three signs wilt without large amounts of physical affection and loyal support for causes. They are productive, enthusiastic, independent, engaging, dynamic and honourable. They can also be rash, rebellious, quarrelsome, hot-headed, reckless, anxious, moody, disagreeable, and stubborn. Although these three signs are loyal, they can be very protective when lied to. The three signs do not enjoy being told what to do, but will listen when it is a person they love or trust whole-heartedly.

WTF?

Okay, I can see that. Although 'honourable' I only see if it's my own personal code of ethics and honor. I never knew there were trines, or that you could have an inner animal. I notice that I have all the disagreeable personality traits and fewer of the good ones...Hmmm.

Let's see... Ram Ox is Fourth and Second trine. Dragon is First (highest-honoured) trine, and Snake is second trine like the Ox.

Reading more into the wikipedia article, apparently there are three levels, the year/outer animal, the month/inner animal, and the hourly/secret animal. So I'm an outer Horse, an inner Ram, and a secret tiger. I need to think about this for a while before I decide anything on it, but I'm willing to give Chinese astrology another look: I'd always disregarded Horse as a portrait of myself, but it does bear a great resemblance to my outer self...
