Quick like a fox? Eager beaver? In this infographic, we take our cues from the animal kingdom to shed light on the unique traits of the 16 personalities created by Myers and Briggs.
So, which animal best describes your personality type?

Hello, I am an INTP and the animal you all selected for my type fits me well. It is the owl. This is very interesting. Thank you for putting it together.
Me too Bill. I'm a dog, which suits my face.
lmaooo. no wonder you're an enfj.
btw i am a fox but i still dont know if i have a super long snout. i have an imaginary one tho.
I am an INTP as well… I thought it was obvious but was looking for possible insight or confirmation. Confirmation it is, I guess
Hello, I am a ENFJ and the animal you all selected for my type fits me well. It is a dog. This is very interesting. Thank you for putting it together

I can't help but chuckle at whichever poor personality got labeled with the panda. When somebody says giant panda, the first things that come to mind for me are:
Anyway, this comment is by no means intended to deride the ISFP as I would have gotten a laugh out of any MBTI type on which the panda would have landed. I sincerely hope there were at least some laughs.
I'd love to hear anybody else's negative stereotypes on the other animals for the sake of giggles.
I know an ISFJ, your comment is hilarious to me!
Well, mine is a NARWHAL—basically a unicorn whale—so make of that what you will. LOL.
Dog/ENFJ (I'm allowed to say these things because I'm one) :-D
I'm an ant/ISTJ. I get stepped on, driven over, and fried with magnifying glasses. I work so hard and never rest that I eventually just fall over and die if I make it that long. I have one purpose in life. Get food. If my Queen ant dies, my whole colony will be dead within a couple of days. Isn't it great to be compared to an ant?
Hahaha I admire your smart response to the panda, what's your personality type?
I'm an ISFJ, an elephant. I'm actually really smart and love the people in my close groups, but get written off as a space-wasting moron. Humans hunt me for the tusks I require to live and take them, as well as my environment, for their selfish benefit.
Seems accurate. :|
Totally a sea horse. Makes me laugh. I wasn't sure if it really existed. Maybe I don't either lol. I'm a rare find.
Oh seahorses certainly do. I wonder why you think it doesnt. Seen them up close n person. They are beautiful creatures.
How do you determine animal selection for personality type? -sincerly the curious octopus
any relation to tribal spirit animals?
...says the intellectual, perceptive, strategic octupus as noted by another intellectual, perceptive, strategic octopus. ;)
This graphic is so cute and accessible for people to get. As an ENFJ, I love being a golden retriever dog. Spot on.
I like the appropriation of the seahorse for the INFJ but I also think a chameleon would be a great animal for our personality type too.
I would also add that a butterfly works well for my type as the INFJ. Delicate, mysterious, colorful, inspiring, high-flying (head-the-clouds), transformative and in need of special care and enviornment to thrive.
INFJs are sometimes called Social Chemeleons. We do tend to blend in.
Omg, as an INFJ, your articles have brought me an unexpected wave of relief, self-acceptance (+ acceptance of others), and feeling understood. :D Mixed feelings about the seahorse, hmmm. Okay, they are adorable but inedible, change colors to blend in, and swim in pairs. I know we're rare, but are we that rarely seen? Yes, some find me mysterious (when I'm working obsessively on my own and not socializing) as well as intuitive, and nurturing--I'm an energy healer/wellness practitioner, as well as an artist. Thing is, my ideals and leadership skills (I'm also a community organizer) have always brought on visibility. I have few close friends, yet am well-known in the community. ;) I humbly suggest the hummingbird as another possibility. Hummingbirds are both clever engineers and artists; fairly antisocial yet magical and charismatic; hardworking, far-migrating and perfectionists, yet randomly go into a "torpor" state of deep rest and slowed metabolic functions; notedly big-brained, they recognize humans, and remember every single flower they've visited and when it will produce nector; unique, they do things other animals don't and consider it normal. ;) <3
I'm an INTP, and can I say that the owl is inaccurate? They're actually not that smart. Their eyes are too big for their brains to fit inside their heads properly.
I agree, owls are not clever. Whoever came up with this, did not think it through. Maybe an orangutan - they're thinkers...
As an INTP I believe a cat might fit well, they can be smart, apathetic, and curious. Although that is my opinion, I may be wrong but I believe that it would accurately describe an INTP.
Hello! I'm an ENTP, and the image isn't loading... can someone tell me what it is? It seems really interesting, and I would love to find out if it's like that for sure. Thanks!
I am an INFJ. I got an ant. But it is so true about me.
I wanted owl but got octpus. Octopuses/octopi may be intelligent but they are squishy and not much fun to talk to. :)
Octopus huh? Considering what I've seen and heard about the squishy sea critters, that's actually an interesting choice. They are intelligent, "mysterious", and not cuddly. There's stories about them escaping their tanks to eat fish in other tanks and going back into their tank, leaving the human caretakers baffled. Considering there is evidence of their escape artist, observation, and problem-solving abilities, I find it plausible, under the right circumstances. I approve. ?
The bear seems to fit me, I am a ENTJ so it makes sense.
Bruh as an ENTP
This is perfect.
You people helped me with a big grade for school thank you.
I identify myself as a turtle. My teacher says I'm a eagle, turtle, and dolphin since I'm smart and shy and am a leader.
Entertaining, but I don't see how bears are outgoing, seahorses are mysterious, narwhals are idealist, and similar stuff.
A lot of people seem to think that personality typing is vague, pointless, and childish. Horoscopes for extra dumb people. Thank you for your contribution.
Jung's personality types > Big Five > MBTI > ? > ? > ? > Horoscopes
According to the report, the three personalities it picked out for me were Enfp, entp, and esfp. I'm a dolphin, otter, and fox. I'm honestly just pleased that I got cute animals, LOL! Super cool! The personality fits me too, at least I think so.
