Tawny Owl (INTP)

Owls are symbols of intelligence, determination and wisdom - qualities usually shared with INTPs. They fly silently in the night, and INTPs, too, are often careful and quiet, speaking only when they have something interesting or useful to say. If you hear an owl hoot at night, it is likely to be a tawny owl, and, when you hear an INTP speak; it is usually worth listening to. Tawny owls are Britain's most common bird of prey, but INTPs are quite rare and therefore easy to misunderstand.

Clownfish (ENFP)
Clown fish are energetic, creative and busy fish, and ENFPs usually share these qualities. Clown fish live among anemones but don't feel their stings due to a clever coating on their skin.

Polar bears are strong and determined. They are at the top of their food chain and, like ISTJs, they can enjoy being the boss. To hunt for food, they have to learn and perfect their skills. ISTJs also like to perfect their skills and then use them throughout their life. Polar bears, like ISTJs, can spend a lot of time on their own and be perfectly happy while in their own company.

MOTTO
I'll work it out myself

-

I guess that's what I am too.

My animal fits me dead on! Haha!

I am a Tawny Owl - INTP.

Interestingly, the Tawny Owl has been my "symbol" for years now. And while I don't think this test is relevant when it comes to the MBTI system (which can be a controversial subject) since it all depends on the highly subjective way we see ourselves (I tend to score as INTJ or ISTJ when really stressed out or when I need structure), I am indeed an INTP (cognitive funtions : Ti-Ne-Si-Fe) and have identified my weaknesses and strengths.

I assume the profiles are going to fit us more or less due to Forer Effect, but it was fun anyway to see how they correlate a type with an animal, I find it amusing that both introverted NT types, stereotypical scientists / philosophers, end up with an owl - symbol of death, but also of wisdom and knowledge - though, as individuals, they can be very unwise and reject some knowledges as we are truly all different.

I am curious as to why ISTJs (one of the most common type according to some unreliable statistics) are Polar Bear.

And I guess my brother is a Tiger then...

Cat for me. I think it fits very well. ^^


Domestic cats, like ISFPs, are popular and friendly despite spending a lot of time on their own. Kittens climb trees. In 1950, a four-month-old kitten climbed to the top of a mountain in the Alps. ISFPs also tend to like exploring the outdoors.
