Types and Animals

[HandiAce]

So I had this discussion with my mother yesterday about what wild animals our relatives could turn into if they had the power. Sort of like some characters in the Harry Potter universe. So here are my questions for everyone:

Do you think there is an animal or animals that could be associated with each Socionics type? If so, do you have any particular ideas for certain types?

If you had the power to transform into a certain animal that was reflective of your personality type, what animal would it be?

Here are some type animal ideas that are not official in my mind, but to stimulate conversation/ideas:

ILE (ENTp) - Raccoon
LII (INTj) - Owl
ESE (ESFj) - Dolphin
SEI (ISFp) - Possum
SLE (ESTp) - Bear
LSI (ISTj) - Hawk
EIE (ENFj) - Monkey
IEI (INFp) - Salmon
SEE (ESFp) - Wolf
ESI (ISFj) - Rat
LIE (ENTj) - Leopard
ILI (INTp) - Iguana
IEE (ENFp) - Frog
EII (INFj) - Horse
LSE (ESTj) - Spider
SLI (ISTp) - Bumblebee

My mother actually thought I am reflective of an owl because of not only their intelligence, but their nature suggests somebody that is highly analytical.

We had several of these thread, you might want to look for them for inspiration.

SLI (ISTp) - Bumblebee

Why?

[ashlesha]

rat???? lol. thats my chinese astrological sign

salmon is an interesting one. i don't really see personalities in fish.

Why?

I see ISTps as being individualists so bumblebees, being lone bees, fly around, tasting things, going about their business at their own, deliberate pace. It's not an official type.

[Capitalist Pig]

Iguana? WTF?

[Pa3s]

It's not an official type.

I don't necessarily disapprove the idea, I just wanted to know your reasoning behind it.

SEI - Cat (F)
SLI - Cat (M)
LSE, ESE - Dog
LII - Horse
SLE - Lion
ESI - Gorilla
SEE - Chimp
LSI - Orangutan
LIE - Hawk
ILE - Dolphin
ILI - Crocodile

[Trevor]

i've heard a certain member of this forum comparing LIIs to small primates

[PistolShrimp]

Some I could see are:

ILE - fox/coyote
SEI - koala
LII - owl is good, or crow
ESE - kangaroo

SLE - bear, yup
IEI - chameleon
EIE - peacock

SEE - dog
ILI - Peregrine falcon

LSE - beaver? gorilla?
IEE - hummingbird

[Absurd]

This thread gave a really good idea although other animals are sulking. I think there is over a million of them but they don't exist so it is fine.

[Creepy-pokeball]

Animals has been done. Lets continue the recent peen theme and equate sex toys to types.

Hold your horses. My purses thread is first.

[Ver]

I can tell you how I view people of different types that I know:

ILE (ENTp) - Raccoon is ok
LII (INTj) - Small bear or horse for Ne subtype
ESE (ESFj) - Dog, kangaroo
SEI (ISFp) - Possum is ok
SLE (ESTp) - Bear
LSI (ISTj) - Hawk
EIE (ENFj) - Monkey
IEI (INFp) - koala bear
SEE (ESFp) - tiger
ESI (ISFj) - mouse (my friend has always identified with mice)
LIE (ENTj) - some quick animal,
ILI (INTp) - Iguana is ok
IEE (ENFp) - Frog - nooooo! my friend says I remind her of Bambi
EII (INFj) - Horse
LSE (ESTj) - Bear
SLI (ISTp) - fox or sth similar

What about dog breeds? I think that's interesting.

[willekeurig]

No !!!! I'm not an Orangutan !!! I agree with Alpha and the rest of Delta, though. EII are more of a horse though cause they are timid
SEE is a frog. Most of them I know look like frogs. ILI lama? How come? They are something small. LSI are some predator.

[willekeurig]

No !!!! I'm not an Orangutan !!!

Why not? They're cute and social and playful and gentle and clever and orange, what else could you possibly want?!

EII are more of a horse though cause they are timid

But horses aren't timid? They're big scary animals used in wars and/or to sit on. Shouldn't EIIs be more cute and small and comfort-seeking? Like mice? Or shrews?

SEE is a frog. Most of them I know look like frogs.

I think I know one that looks like a frog too!

ILI lama? How come? They are something small.

I was thinking about the llamas from The Adventures of Tintin; they're intellectually superior and very critical and can spit on people but are still kind of cute!

LSI are some predator.

Yeah, but some of them are really sweet too! I picked bulldog because my LSI dad looks maybe a little like some small dog, angry face but Fe turns him into a puppy. But hmm.. what about a raven? Or a wolverine?

Ok, orangutan are so orangutanish... Although I must admit I used to have my favourite orangutan toy for something like 15 years or even more and I slept with it for a long time until my husky dog destroyed it. I suppose he wanted me to sleep with him instead .
This one looks... I don't know if that's delta hippie or maybe beta bohemian - style -noooo? Or maybe alpha reggae?

My friend says I remind her of this:
http://kopernica.pl/sarenka.html
cause I'm scared etc. On second thoughts my Ne ENFp girlfriend reminds me of some bear... koala maybe. She might be an orangutan but a small and sweet only.

To me horses are timid and they are also very proud and lovely. People use them for wars and eat them (!!!) cause people are stupid.

Ok, this cartoon llama might work. Cause my ILI dad is rather... hmmmm some idividualistic animal. IDK if this one works?

Raven totally works. My LSI Ti aunt (I like her a lot) reminds me of one, the black hair etc.

Aww.. :< I had a raccoon toy like that when I was little, and I refused to go anywhere without it so I figured It'd have to be my dual animal. But after googling raccoons they look so ILE I can't convince myself otherwise anymore.

Aw Way too cool not to be delta!

Hehee.. Those jaws look Se-valuing.

enough already with animal thread guys, some of you really stink at this.

Though, pistolshrimp was onto something.

Some I could see are:

ILE - fox/coyote
SEI - koala
LII - owl is good, or crow
ESE - kangaroo

SLE - bear, yup
IEI - chameleon
EIE - peacock

SEE - dog
ILI - Peregrine falcon

LSE - beaver? gorilla?
IEE - hummingbird

case in point, esi: rat, gorilla, mouse, weasel??
i think most of the esi's i know, myself included seem like ducks or swans.

LII: bat??
and SEIs are way more like cats than EIIs

[The Ineffable]

blackburry, are you sure you're Ne-PoLR?

I'd add badger for SEI (and sometimes for SLI, too).

Heey, don't take it so seriously.

I guess the choices depend a lot on whether you focus on the "personality"/behaviour or looks of an animal (or both) or personal experiences with them or cultural connotations or whatever. E.g why I chose the weasel for ESI was because they are active and agile/physically skilfulled predators (Se + aggressors), but still small and timid (introversion, Fi) and I know a few ESIs that have a weasel-like sharp gaze. Plus they're cute! And there was an animal cartoon in my childhood where they had a weasel that could well have been ESI.

The cats that I've met so far haven't been very Fe either..

[silke]

LII: bat??

they nest in these warm arid nests usually surrounding a computer station, their activity on the net picks up past the evening hours as they search for interesting and poignant morsels by sweeping around with their Ne-creative sonar and flying towards anything that returns the signal ... suppose you gotta see it firsthand to see how that association works

Heey, don't take it so seriously.

Sable may sound better, but then people make coats out of them >.< I think cats are Fi or IJ at least, too independent-minded to be anything else.
