No- I don't identify that way.
But as I love to debate, perhaps I am perceived that way...
Appealing, cerebral and of average size, the fox is a close relative of both the wolf and dog personalities and displays typical canine qualities of loyalty, passion and creativity. [yes] Largely misunderstood to be a shy, retreating individual, it's the fox's unique stature as a small carnivore that defines its survival strategy. Because it cannot succeed in the world using brute force alone, it must rely on its sharp mind and engaging personality to garner resources. Consequently it spends a lot of time in its head, giving the impression that it's trying to outsmart its friends. The fox is often surprised to learn that its intellectual pursuits are intimidating. [yes]
Foxes are fussy eaters and feed on a wide range of foods. With an appreciation for the finer things in life, they demand quality in entertainment, food, and friends. A love for exploration is mixed with enjoyment in overcoming challenges, and foxes are often out climbing mountains or journeying to exotic, forbidden places. [absolutely]
Flamboyance is usually not the fox's style, preferring to remain inconspicuous in choose subtlety and cunning over brute strength. They live in small, cozy environments and their houses are usually organized and neat. [ummm... nope- not too neat...] As a hunter personality, foxes are in good physical shape and enjoy sports that challenge their mind and body. [lol! not too sporty, but was addicted to fitness way back when...need to find some of that again.]
Foxes are typically successful in the workplace, but their competitiveness and ambition sometimes make coworkers feel belittled. [I am not competitive at all!] They would never deliberately take advantage of others, but their single-mindedness often blinds them to their feelings. So they thrive in their own businesses and like to surround themselves with family and friends in these ventures. Although they demand consensus in all decisions, they dominate discussions and steer the plans to reflect their own agenda. Competent in a wide range of fields, foxes are particularly well suited for a career as computer programmers, lawyers, doctors or professional chess players. [or escorts!

It was interesting.
I wonder how someone else would answer the test for me. There are of course things that others see about you that you are completely unaware of...
This is a fun quiz- and has interesting results (although, of course, not 100 percent accurate- lol!).

The fox is very much a creature of the night and is, along with its dog relatives, the most gregarious of the carnivores. Their agile minds are always active, and although they never intend to harm others foxes have developed a reputation for slyness and manipulation. The female of the species is called a vixen for good reason: With her sharp mind and equally sharp tongue, she is best left alone when angry.

These strong shouldered quadrupeds are closely related to horse personalities. But since zebras have evolved in the competitive environment of the African plains, they've developed a tougher exterior and more aggressive demeanor than their cousins.
Those that come into contact with the zebra find it to be a powerfully loyal and intelligent friend. Its black and white nature shuns the gray zones of compromise and its decided idealism is incapable of accepting defeat in an argument. Zebras find it difficult to be punctual when it comes to meeting commitments that have little value to them, and close examination of this trait reveals the subtle arrogance that pervades the zebra's personality.
While its behavior might be construed as selfish, the zebra is generally appalled to discover that others have perceived it to be egotistical. Zebras always expect to be given the benefit of the doubt and are perpetually on the offensive when it comes to setting the record straight with regard to their motives.
Wild and untamable, zebras have quite an aggressive streak and their enormous self-confidence gives them an unusually swaggering gait. Quick to anger, a zebra's temper often gets the better of it and they are considered so volatile that even lion personalities will think twice before accosting them. However, they rarely initiate these confrontations and are peaceable and self-contained if left alone. Zebras have a tendency to view the world in black and white and have a strong sense of right and wrong. Unlike their horse cousins, they are unwilling to be saddled with the burdens of others and insist that everyone carry his or her own weight.
Once the zebra's mind is made up, it is difficult to shift its position, which explains its reputation for stubbornness. This reputation is somewhat unfounded however, since the zebra's opinions are only formed after deliberate and logical consideration. This analytical thinking primes them for careers in science, engineering, accounting and football refereeing.
Zebras' strong sense of justice makes them ideal for careers in the legal system, including police work or law, while their ability to endure a long race might bring them success in politics. Their love for things tangible makes it unlikely that they'll excel in the arts, and a distaste for physical labor makes zebras largely unsuitable for blue-collar jobs.
do you think really reflects you? I think I am at about 80% for mine, maybe a little less. It was fun though.
but the part about expecting everyone to carry their own weight and distaste for physical labor are off. I wear all the hats in my company from floor sweeper to president, and the work is more than 50% blue collar. I try to keep the arrogant traits in check, but even my posts here have plenty of bad traits that I am embarrassed about after a few days of reflection, but I am way too proud to worry about it. ![]()
the stuff in our descriptions fits into our "unknown" areas...
i've studied a little shaminism.
part of the practice is when a medicine man
goes on a spirit journey and meets an animal
who somehow imparts wisdom to him.
for me it wasca psychadelic snorkeling trip
where a felt one with a little parrotfish who
sorta taught me how to be one with the sea.
very interesting independent beings.
generally speaking i prefer most animals
to most human beings. weird? some
dog lovers are like that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrotfish
Interesting! Thanks for explaining. ![]()
I find this highly offensive and hypocritical. How dare you cloak yourself in shamanism and spirituality and then post something so reprehensible?
Is there such a thing as virtual Tourette's?

Not so sure I agree with it, but it said my animal is a wild dog. Here are my careers and hobbies, which I def do not agree with all of them.
Policework not
Engineer not, but I was a math teacher
Military never in military
Journalist ok
Academic ok
Running I'm a swimmer, not a runner
Writing ok
Horse riding no interest
Surfing the net definitely
Swim
a hundred percent (heck- probably not even 80%), but it is fun and to me more interesting than posting my boobs. Of course, I am sure most here would be more interested in my boobs than this thread. LOL!!
Ah well...
Thanks wild dog. ![]()
yes it is fun and interesting, if others will play along, but also....SHOW UR TITS!

Wild Dog
Genus and species:
Canis canidae
Collective Term:
A tribe of wild dogs
Careers and Hobbies
Policework (Would interfere with my other hobby ![]()
Military (Been there)
Journalist (Done That)
Academic (Bought the t shirt)
Running (Yep, among other hour or longer workouts that gets me sweaty)
Writing (my other hobby)
Horse riding (just a couple weeks ago)
Surfing the net (well duh)
"Police work" and "Military" would appear alongside "Journalist" and "Academic". Not that they are mutually exclusive, but I wouldn't have thought of them as naturally compatible. Both the military and police work don't invoke thoughts of independently critical thought, whereas good journalism and ground-breaking academia depend on it.
Military troops must first and foremost instinctively follow orders by default and police are very similar. The difference I suppose lies in the level at which you engage in either: officers in the military would be prized for their critical thinking skills, while police chiefs probably had to have some critical thinking skills to get where they are. Either case, however, does not emphasize critical thinking as a foundation for the field in which they are employed.
I know you have to go to Police Academy to become a police officer, and that Westpoint is a top tier academic institution, so my initial presumption is not necessarily correct. But I still think it is pretty interesting. ![]()

The jobs listed are what may help shape a person into an independent thinker. A person that has had the opportunity to look at the world from within a different perspective from others. After all, it's often not the world that needs to change, but an individuals perspective of the world that requires adjustment and will eventually elicit independent thought and critical thinking. Of course, it takes a certain amount of conviction and guts to convey those thoughts to the world.
I answered as honest and as accurate as possible and it came up with Wolf and said I could also be an owl or a wild dog.
The rugged wolf is athletic, good-looking and brimming with self-confidence. A close relative of the domestic dog, it is stronger and more aggressive, managing to generate notoriety wherever it marks its territory. The wolf's dark reputation is mainly due to jealousy of its consistent success in work and romance. A wolf in full stride is quite impressive. Firing orders at subordinates while on the phone to customers, no one can get the job done quite as efficiently as the wolf.
With an innate understanding of the value of teamwork, it's always ready to take its place in the chain of command either as leader or as simply a member of the pack. When a wolf decides to innovate, it makes sure that it has the backing of a capable team. The wolf is clear-headed and strong-minded, always willing to compromise in the interests of getting a job done.
Wolves are facially expressive and readily communicate their emotional states with body language. They work hard at developing their social relationships, although unlike their cousin the dog they are quick to anger when they sense threats to the social order. When confrontations occurs, they sometimes react suddenly and violently, barking displeasure at offending subordinates. Close companions know to avoid their biting tongue until they resume their normal gregarious behavior.
Wolves are intensely ambitious and never shy from hard work. Socially adept, they function well in leadership and management roles as well as in jobs requiring vision and strength of character. Being a natural motivator, their instinctive understanding of group dynamics serves them well in goal-oriented tasks.
As bosses, wolves demand absolute loyalty and they provide the same allegiance to their employees. Their ability to perform under pressure helps them attain the highest executive levels, and with strong communication instincts they maintain a constant stream of notes, letters, and email to coworkers. Their instinctive understanding of the chain of command makes wolves excellent soldiers or law enforcement officers.

As a retired financial advisor this kind of jibes with my career. It's wired, but the activities they listed are completely accurate.
Fun stuff Sarah, good topic. ![]()
activities, how much of the description fit you? Did you disagree with any of it?
I guess I really don't disagree with it at all. I was kinda surprised at the personality traits more than the job categories. This is much better than the COSMO quizzes my old girlfriend used to do. Those were kind of funny, this seemed to be a little less vague and more spot on. Interesting stuff!!
and I agree that it is more fun than the cosmo quizzes. It was hard to find one that you didn't have to sign up for or that wasn't just dumb.
I am also glad that you found it highly relevant. I found a lot of mine relevant, but not all of it. But maybe others see in me what I do not. I will have someone else take the quiz for me to see if the results are the same. ![]()

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." ~Mark Twain
Wildcat personalities do not differ substantially from their domestic cousins and exhibit the aloof behavior that is common to all felines. With their well-deserved reputations as creatures of comfort, wildcats jealously guard their independence while indulging in the finer things in life. Attractive, solitary, creative and curious, these individuals are quite happy to observe the world from a distance.
The wildcat would never take a conventional route and prefers to explore life from off the beaten track, relying heavily on its instincts and powers of observation to guide it safely through the jungle. Its air of indifference and need for privacy keeps it on the outskirts of society, but its love for comfort always brings it back.
Exceptional personal hygiene is a hallmark of the wildcat personality, and from their hair to their fingernails they are immaculately groomed. Shopping for clothing or personal-care items spices up long, dreary days.
When someone wrongs a wildcat, they make it their business to even the score. Displaying superb patience, wildcats will even wait years for the right moment. When the occasion comes to strike, they gather all their force and attack. In the face of a ferocious display of hissing and blustering, their surprised victim has little chance of escape.
The wildcat differs from its lion relatives in its approach to its social structure. With an aversion to the complex family organization of the lion, the wildcat finds freedom and self-indulgence to be far more compelling. As a natural explorer it disdains staying in one place for long, preferring the freedom of solitary roaming in exotic locales. This wanderlust makes it ideal for a career as a travel agent, explorer, mountain climber, researcher or writer.
Although wildcats are uncomfortable performing in front of large groups, their grace and lithe bodies make them natural dancers or gymnast.
Mark Twain was spot on...
