First of all, some general comments about the test. I think the idea that human behavior can be associated to different animal species is quite interesting. In fact, in my opinion, even though we humans are very "cultural" animals, the nature still has a strong influence on us. Our instincts and natural functions guide us more than we think. I once wrote my thoughts down in a little essay for philosophy, where I basically explained that the cultural behavior of each gender is based on their natural predetermination. This doesn't mean that we aren't able to use our consciousness to "escape" from our instincts, but they still regulate many of our actions. And some cultural aspects of dividing the roles of each gender, for example that normally the women tend to care more about the feelings being more emotional and the men are more practical showing interest in working and playing, have their origins in the natural instincts: The women are the ones to give birth to the children and take care of them, their maternal instincts guide them; while the men are supposed to be the ones to go out hunting and to bring the food at home and to protect the family.
And I particularly liked this:
The fundamental aspects of animal personalities can be summarized with the four Fs:
Feeding, Fighting, Fleeing and Sex.
I assume the fourth "F" was supposed to be "frungir" in Spanish. Anyone speaks Spanish to explain us? :P
But let's move on to my test results. I was told that nobody has said so far that they don't agree with their results. Well, this is too mainstream for me (Oh my god, I thought I'd never use that word... I'm becoming a hipster).
My three possibilities were (click on the name to read the analysis):
And I can't say I'm satisfied enough with any of the results. Although, I like the three animals. Aren't they just sweet and cool guys? <(^.^)>
My main result was the beaver. According to that I'm a workaholic. Maybe, there is something true about that, when I know that I've got some work, I do it well and efficient (or at least I try my best to do so). And I hate to have nothing to do. The problem is, if I don't have work, I find other things to do and I give them also much importance. This is the reason why I try to take things easier since last year. I'm determined to give my best and show what I can, but I don't want to give my life only for work.
Something I don't agree at all is that I'm supposed to be a handy person. I am the clumsiest boy in the world. Maybe it's just because my parents used to be terribly overprotective when I was a child so they did it all for me, therefore I never got the chance to really learn to work with my hands. Maybe that's the reason why I always loved to think about problems, to solve them theoretically, to accept mental challenges. Because my parents couldn't think for me. So I put all my effort into absorbing just all the knowledge I could and examine myself constantly. In this way, I could find something I could do by myself. Damn, in the end I'm actually going to understand myself better thanks to these tests (ironically analysing right the opposite of what I've been told).
What's for the penguin, they may have a point that I can be a bit variable or unstable sometimes. It's when I can't decide to stay on one side and I constantly express apparently contradictory opinions. This is something I'm also trying to change about myself. Instead of being so passive sometimes, I want to grab the life and take all the good things out of it with determination and confidence. Self-criticism can be something good, but too much of it can be a symptom of a weak character.
But just like in the last case (owl), I miss something very important, which is my scientific side. Instead they tell me I'm rather a writer. I mean, yes, I can enjoy writing, but my heart beats for science and for knowledge, for the fascination of the nature.
So, the owl, besides of the missing science comment, is the one that fits most my personality. It's definitely true that I'm rather the quiet observer. I always try to think about everything in a logical way and I love reflect about philosophical questions. I'm not the most sociable person, I never used to get into strong relationships with many people, but the few friendships I have are very deep ones. Although I also try to socialize more and get more contact to people, because in our modern world, knowing the right people can be the key to gain access to any place you want. And yes, I'm normally trustworthy, if I promise to do something, I will do so. Sometimes I sacrifice myself to much in order to help other people. It's another thing I'm trying to avoid, because if you can't protect yourself, in the end you can't protect the ones you love either.
