Pity the cold-blooded snakes. Without arms, wings or flippers, they are forced to slink through life in a solitary quest for warmth and acceptance. Shy and insecure, they must keep a low profile to avoid the disapproving glances and teasing of others. Of course, their poisonous wit and quick tongues help to keep tormentors at bay.

As a child its small frame was no defense against the taunts of the playground bullies, so its sharply vicious attacks were adopted as means of protection. Snakes have no illusions about getting breaks in life and while they see doors opening for others, they have resigned themselves to staying in their lowly, entry level positions. So don't try and humor the snake, for it has reconciled itself to its subservient position.

With their intimate connection to the earth and their unique perspective on life, snakes have learned to express themselves through their art. Whether writers, moviemakers or painters, they are obsessively meticulous about their craft. Every now and then, one makes an impact on the art world and is thrust into the spotlight. But the snake recoils from the glare of publicity, and its behavior becomes even more erratic than usual. Woody Allen, the proverbial snake, comes to mind.

In winter, the cold-blooded snake is miserable. It just can't cope in the low temperature that seeps in through its thin skin, affecting its mood and sapping its energy. Prone to colds and flu, they are pathetic sights as they snivel and cough throughout the season. But when summer returns with its warmth and light, the snakes' moods brighten and their spirits soar.

Snakes are not fussy about their choice of jobs. As cold blooded personalities they perform best when given warmth and kindness and will accept almost any job, provided they feel secure. However, if they feel mistrusted, they live up to their reputation and return the disloyalty. Consequently, they are often relegated to menial jobs in the fast-food industry or as unskilled labor.

Ok - now I'm INFP. I'm not sure if I totally agree. I am introverted and analytical. But there is a lot of focus on caring about other people, and to be honest, I don't focus on others that much. I am also not as creative as the test suggests. There are hardly any of the suggested careers i can see myself in

Here's my result for the animal test. I'm a prickly porcupine. hehe.

I don't agree with it. I don't have a caustic tongue and I don't talk down to people. But the careers and hobbies are spot on. But I'm not a mean, nasty tongued rodent. hehe. Well I hope not

Porcupine
Genus and species:
Hystrix cristata
Collective Term:
A prickle of porcupines

Careers and Hobbies
Collections agent
Bureaucrat
Administrator
Politician
Reading
Painting
Movies
Gossip
Photography


Famous Porcupines
Don Rickles
Joan Rivers
Bobcat Goldthwaite


Meyers-Briggs personality types

Porcupines are physically small individuals with an over-abundance of attitude. Probably due to their lack of self-esteem, they have a tendency to seek comfort by putting others down and wit, sarcasm and ridicule are the primary weapons of its oftentimes disagreeable personality. Its reputation as a backstabber is somewhat undeserved, although it has no problem with gossiping about friends and foe alike.
In defense of the porcupine's actions, its barbs are not designed to cause permanent harm. Instead, they're intended as a preemptive attack to protect its own sensitive feelings, and if anyone is wounded by its thorny words the porcupine is quick to come to its victim's aid.
Like other rodent personalities, porcupines are opportunists and are resourceful and creative in their endeavors. Adept at taking advantage of others' mistakes, they are the first to jump on the bandwagon when an opportunity arises.
With their consciously minimalist lifestyle, porcupines' financial needs are limited to the bare essentials of living and their homes are unadorned but functional.
Unambiguous loners, porcupines prefer jobs that reward individual effort and avoid manual labor or work that demands mental concentration. However, if it's lucky enough to find a job that requires a biting tongue, it performs above the call of duty.
The porcupine displays the characteristically sharp mind and opportunistic lifestyle of the rodent personalities, but unable to function successfully in social situations it is limited in its career choices. Of course, a job like postal worker, DMV employee, and IRS agent, matches its prickly personality perfectly.

Bluecupcake, you DO realize we're both INTJ AND porcupines?

We could start the porcupine army, but then I realized us porcupines are quite solitary...

I always get varying results on sensing vs. intuition and feeling vs. thinking depending on the day, ha. I am always strongly an I and J.
So today I am an ISFJ.

Ha, I am a Snake too...the appropriate careers and hobbies sound about right:

Writer
Artist
Psychoanalyst
Food industry

Except for that last one. Unless they mean eating.

Not sure I agree with the whole snake profile tho, although some of it rings true...
Thanks for this!

As for the animal, I am a Mountain Goat and I am still laughing about it.
