- [Amanda] Psych2Goers and welcome back to another video.
Your love and support has enabled us
to send your way another helping of everyday psychology.
So, let's explore.
While some animals are adorable
and others may appear to be dangerous,
each of them have very different specific characteristics.
But did you know these may translate into you as well?
Have you ever wondered whether your admiration of one animal
over another actually means something about you as a person?
It surely does.
Before we begin, we would like to say
that this video is made for fun
and entertainment purposes only.
The personality types mentioned
are just rough tendencies and generalizations
rather than strict classifications.
With that said,
let's find out what your favorite animal says about you.
Number one, dog.
Do you call yourself a dog person?
Is it impossible for you to walk by
without giving that cute doggie a rub behind his ears?
Well, who can resist those puppy dog eyes, right?
If you are a regular at the dog park,
it shows that you can be playful
and have a carefree attitude in life.
You're a loyal and protective individual
who will do anything for your loved ones.
And you often treat others with kindness,
and always believe in the best in others.
Number two, cat.
Are you an overzealous cat lady?
Take a look at your YouTube recommendations.
Is it overflowing with those cute cat videos?
Well then, need we say more?
Your love for cats
shows that you're a very motivated individual
who believes in yourself.
More often than not,
you're determined to pursue your desires in life.
Once there's an opportunity,
you would definitely take full advantage of it,
even off the beaten path.
Number three, horses.
Were you inspired by the tale of "Black Beauty"?
Can you not seem to get enough of all things horses?
If horses are your animal, this shows you're adventurous,
and truly enjoy your independence,
and that makes you dislike others making decisions for you,
or when something is holding you back in life.
Once you feel that your freedom is being restricted,
you'd have the desire to break free from it.
No matter the situation, you are able to withstand.
Your resilient and sturdy personality
will continue to she forward.
Number four, lion.
Do you own multiple DVDs of the "Lion King"?
If you follow the lion's specials on discovery channel,
you, my friend, are aligned with spread heart.
As the lion is the king of the jungle,
you tend to be a leader that commands respect,
who is also highly confident and ambitious.
People would be able to witness your bravery
when you're facing moments of doubt.
You tend to be fiercely loyal
and protective of your loved ones.
This trait, in turn,
attracts people who will always stand by you,
no matter what.
Number five, turtle.
Is "The Tortoise and the Hare" your favorite Fable?
Are you team tortoise?
If so, you tend be intuitive and more sensitive than others.
You're often able to pick up on how others are feeling,
given that you are an introvert.
You prefer to blend in with the crowd
and retreat on a regular basis
to recharge your mental and emotional capacity.
After all, slow and steady wins the race, right?
Number six, monkey.
Was "Curious George" your favorite?
If you spend more time visiting the monkeys at your zoo,
this speaks volumes about your personality.
Who knew, you tend to be goofy
and bursting with cheerfulness
as you enjoy having a good laugh.
This ensures everyone around you
is having a great time as well.
Your strong sense of independence
is always coupled with flexibility,
and it's sometimes tough for others
to know your real thoughts.
Number seven, elephant.
Isn't Dumbo simply the cutest?
If you think so,
chances are elephants are your favorite too.
You are an individual whose strength
shine so strongly through your mind, body and spirit.
You tend to be peaceful and selfless by often demonstrating
your endless amount of love and care for others,
even if it's not being reciprocated.
This also translates into you always working hard
towards the common good, and wanting the best for others.
Number eight, bear.
If you find bears warm and cuddly, this is for you,
and you're tough and courageous.
People feel that you're very dependable.
This is especially so when adversity arises.
At heart, you're a sweetie,
and can be very protective by taking care of others.
Number nine, fox.
If foxes intrigue you,
this shows you're a passionate individual
who is a great conversationalist.
Also, you can be reserved at times.
When facing a difficult situation and the unknown,
you tend to confront it with your bravery, wit and charm.
You tend to have a way of getting what you want
as you're adept at strategizing.
Number 10, whale.
If whales are at the top of your list for favorite animals,
this shows that you have a great capacity for introspection,
and self-reflection,
often having a strong sense
of who you are and the direction in your life,
knowing exactly what you want.
At times, you may allow emotions
to play a critical part in decision-making,
And more often than not,
you're not afraid to deviate from the pot,
if you feel that your views are not being appreciated.
You prefer to have a plan rather than being spontaneous
as you may have a tough time accepting change.
However, you're not afraid of challenges
as you view them as opportunities for success.
11, wolf.
Not the one wearing red riding hood granny's nightcap,
we mean the real deal.
If they spark your interest,
it shows you're a mysterious individual
who holds yourself to high standards.
Since you can adapt to any situation,
you often act on instincts and intelligence
when it comes to moments of doubt.
You tend to accomplish tasks with great determination.
You truly value your close friends,
and would not hesitate to protect them
when they face any troubles.
Number 12, owl.
To all Hedwig's fans out there,
you are a highly intelligent individual
who is very sensitive and aware of their surroundings.
You approach life from a pragmatic standpoint.
Your perfectionist tendencies propel you towards success.
13, giraffe.
Do these long neck beauties draw your eye every single time?
If you've always taken a fancy to them, over all others,
this means you tend to be independent, kind,
and practice a huge amount of patience towards others.
Instead of being fixated on the minor details,
you generally embrace life
as you are able to view the bigger picture.
