Spirit animal

[UberFische]

while link jumping, through... someone's LJ (edit: Greyloch's), I found this
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/7396540237359991942/What-is-Your-Spirit-Animal

so I take it and what do I get?

Your spirit animal is the snake. It is generally considered the highest of the ignoble spirits. Snakes are cold-blooded creatures, and nothing but venom comes out of their mouth. Legends have often depicted the snake as wise, but as guardians they are only drawn to people who are cold-spirited and generally unwise. These guardians are quite rare.

... I sound freaking evil.

[Darlica]

Heh. Not what I suspected.
"Your spirit animal is the otter. Playful, curious and fun animals, they are truly the start of what can be considered a noble creature. Otters are good at figuring things out, and make great friends. You are lucky to have one as a spirit animal. Otters are fairly rare as spirit animals".

I've been told before my spirit animal is a wolf, but who knows there are probably enough room in my shadow for an otter too.

[Farler]

Your spirit animal is the chipmunk. They are small and cute creatures who keep an exceptionally clean dwelling. They're not a very magnificent animal, but they make up for it in quickness, agility, and cuteness. They are a fairly common spirit animal, and nothing to be ashamed of.

***Wondering how this animal was chosen for you? These questions were carefully thought out to see how important you hold certain virtues such as: humanism, self-knowledge, rationalism, the love of freedom and other somewhat Hellenic ideals. Some of the questions were very subtle. Your score was then matched with an animal of corresponding nobility. However, you shouldn't think this was a right/wrong sort of test, but more of an idealistic values test. It's ok to not hold these values, you'll just get an animal spirit of lower stature if you do!***

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Nobility

[Seolta]

Otter as well...bleh, where's the wing-y things?

[RazorJAK]

The Cougar
(Here's your results! Your spirit animal has a Nobility ranking of 13 out of 18.)

"Your spirit animal is the cougar. It is a stealthy and deadly protector. With a cougar as a spirit animal, you have nothing to fear in this world. Your life is blessed and you are on the right path. You will still have hard times, but you will pull through them, always stronger for your travails. Congratulations, few are fotunate enough to have such a spirit animal!

[meghasissues]

why did i get the crapy spirit animal?

Your spirit animal is the porcupine. They are considered only slightly noble for their remakably defensive quills. Still, they are slow and uncuddly creatures. As a spirit animal, porcupines are pretty common, and typically are guardians of those with an average nobility and wisdom

[Big Otis Landfish]

Otter as well...bleh, where's the wing-y things?

Right here. ;)

Your spirit animal is the bat. They are remakable creatures that guide themselves through the night using sonar. They are a fairly common spirit animal, but are neither exceptional nor despisable in regards to nobility. Being nocturnal, they have not really "seen the light", and there is much they are still unaware of, but they have their own special way of navigating the world, which though unconventional, works just fine.

[Mike Taylor]

Your spirit animal is the deer. They are a respectable and beautiful animal. They are fearful and timid at times and are considered as having only slightly above average nobility and wisdom. The deer is a fairly common guardian, and you can feel proud knowing it will serve you well.

"Fearful & timid..."

Not quite how I would see myself. In any case, I've ready been told that my spirit animal is Crow.

[RazorJAK]

Then it may be that Crow is masquerading as Deer to fuck with you. The only animal more likely to do so would be Coyote.

Would've thought it'd be Raven, not Crow, in that instance...though I can certainly see a crow doing it too. Coyote, definitely...anyone here read Gunnerkrigg Court? *has a soft spot(possibly in her skull) for tricksters*

[Leffy]

i got chipmunk. should i be afeared i got the same as farler? ;P

and tricksters are fun. without them nothing would ever really happen in most mythologies.

[Rapscallion]

Should I be scared that my spirit animal is a realdoll?

Rapscallion

[Plunder Down-Under]

I dont really care about the animal but I was really happy with the answers I was able to give. Its a cool spirit animal too.

Your spirit animal is the otter. Same as Darlica.

[Leffy]

your spirit animal is a realdoll???????? does that mean you're a hound?

[Wayne]

My spirt animal turns out to be a snake. I was really hoping for an eagle.

[domino]

I got "deer" too...but I didnt like a lot of teh questions, some of the answers to choose from didnt really fit what i would do so i just had to kinda "inny-minny-miney-mo" it between 2 or 3 choices...:p

[Compton]

Your spirit animal is the wolf. It is a ferocious companion, and a loyal friend. It is both a respectable and noble creature; to have this spirit animal says good things about you, and that you are starting to figure things out. Wolves are pretty rare spirit animals.

You scored higher than 99% on Nobility

[Ecchi_Kitty]

Also got a deer, also not real happy with the choices.... Ah well.

...wonder what happens if I eat my spirit animal? :didea:

[Kamn]

Otter as well. Would think myself more of a bear to be honest...

[meghasissues]

grr why am i the only lame person that got a porqupine?

[Farler]

grr why am i the only lame person that got a porqupine?

No complaining, I got a fucking rescue ranger, He's cute but still.

[Plunder Down-Under]

You guys are like 3rd graders who only wanna be the animals that can kill all the other animals, these are spirit animals, they have magic! A deer could kick a wolfs ass at least half the time!

[Compton]

Hey now. I came by the wolf fair and square. :P

[Kamn]

Believe it or not, I did not say bear becouse of its ability to kill. More over, becouse of its ability to guard and protect. There are few worse oponents than a bear protecting her cub. Im more of a pacifist anyway.

[Ecchi_Kitty]

the animals that can kill all the other animals

...human? Is human an option? Because humans tend to be the ones wipeing out other animals....

[Ruestir]

Mine came out otter. It's an interesting exercise, but I found on many of the questions that if I had a choice of none of the above, I probably would have picked it about half the time.

A story about Crow (http://www.snowwowl.com/animallore/rlanimalsair2.html).

The answers aren't what I think show the most. I think the reasons behind our answers do. I however don't think that the creators of such games can begin to grasp the myriad of reasons why people select the answers they do.

[Wayne]

Since I could have answered the questions a different way, not really having a best choice option, I did the test again and this time I have a porcupine for a guide.

[Ruestir]

I agree with you. There was also one at least where one of the answers was an "either or", which made no sense to me. Because, to me, one had absolutely nothing to do with the other. I couldn't think of an instance where you could be either of those things with even a semblence of the same motivation. Like I said, it's interesting, but I wouldn't place any real value in it.

[Ruestir]

Since I could have answered the questions a different way, not really having a best choice option, I did the test again and this time I have a porcupine for a guide.

Precisely my point. Many of the questions really didn't have a "best choice" for me.

[Compton]

I fully expected the Three Toed Tree Sloth.

[Rapscallion]

your spirit animal is a realdoll???????? does that mean you're a hound?

Oh, right, there's a test to see what it is. Sorry - was quoting reality.

Rapscallion

You know, I'd be highly disturbed to find out that there was a supernatural entity out there that identified itself with a sex doll.

[Big Otis Landfish]

You know, I'd be highly disturbed to find out that there was a supernatural entity out there that identified itself with a sex doll.

I'd be kind of surprised if there wasn't one. Starting with the presumption of multiple supernatural entities, anyways. :dgrin:


But yah, this test, if I read it correctly, ranks you according to 'nobility' and then picks an animal that matches that. Not sure how tailored it is in matching individual answers to each spirit animal. Internet tests, eh?

I think that my real spirit animal would be a tree, anyways. ;)

[Darlica]

Big Otis Landfish:
You are an RPG player right?
Played any Unknown Armies lately... If not pick up a book, you will like it.

Corrupting the youth is always fun!:dgrin:

[Big Otis Landfish]

Actually, I'm not a gamer, Darlica. Weird, eh?

I have no idea how I fit into the DP forum crowd considering I speak a different dialect of geek than most of y'all. :dgrin:

[Crazeyal]

Meh..

Gamer, LARPer, Medievalist, Club Kid, Raver, you name it... It's all just slightly out of the norm, add a few too many pop culture referances and stir.

[Big Otis Landfish]

Meh..

Gamer, LARPer, Medievalist, Club Kid, Raver, you name it... It's all just slightly out of the norm, add a few too many pop culture referances and stir.

That's the thing... I'm none of the above, perhaps nominally pirate (by association, mostly), and skinny on the pop culture compared to most (heck, I don't even have TV). The closest I get is the few webcomics I read - THAT'S the connection, I guess. Oh, and I've worked as a cook, which means I have the same trademark twisted sense of humour.

I's a science and nature geek; if you can't grow it, pick it, extract it, synthesize it, make it go boom or especially eat it, then meh. I seriously miss getting drunk and talking about chemistry. :dgrin:

[Mike Taylor]

Well, between you and crazyal, I expect a lot of things will go boom around here. :D

[domino]

i'm a science nature geek, but more in teh biology vein. I have had some pretty interesting convos at parties during grad school. hint- i studies animal science (and no not to become a vet) w/ a focus on repro...

[domino]

but i like pirates! and fantasy stuff! and would RP or LARP if i wasnt so worried about making a total fool of myself!

[Mike Taylor]

Knock back a few beers (or whatever your favorite alcohol is) and you won't feel so constrained. :)

[Farler]

I don't want the big mean spirit animal that eats meat. I would have been happy with the deer, or a horse or a crow or the porcupine. OR A TINY LITTLE SALAMANDER! just not the chipmunk.


Also, a lot of people get the wolf who really shouldn't because frankly a lot of people who will tell you what your spirit animal is are just telling you what they think you want to hear.

Hmm.... lemme see... I think all I did for third year bio was Animal Behaviour (spent HOURS recording mating behaviour in salmon - not as spectacular as some of your stuff I bet) and Population Biology, which is more of a math course anyways. I kind of did a split between bio and chem, and dropped out after 3 years to take Environmental Technology and get working.

Strangely enough, I am probably most interested in plants, but never did any botany.


Knock back a few beers (or whatever your favorite alcohol is) and you won't feel so constrained. :)

Some trimethylpentyltetrahydrobenzo[c]chromenol then? I am rather fond of these ones too:

But plain old EtOH is good too. And I'd drink good beer even without the alcohol. ;D

[Seolta]

I's a science and nature geek

Ornithology nerd, here, mostly related to raptors. Actually considered it as a field of academic study, until I realized I'd have to take more chemistry(got a very poor opinion of chem classes, thanks to my tenth-grade science teacher). Besides, it's more fun as a hobby, and two of my three target careers(curator/researcher, reference Librarian, or pro techie) involve general knowledge, so it's all good:cool: General-knowledge type jobs make it a good thing to be a history/art/theatre/fantasy/pirate/jewelry/costume/art history/ornithology/folklore/mythology geek;)

[Crazeyal]

That's the thing... I'm none of the aboveDuh.. come to a con and get initiated. Considering the fact you read Jennie's comic, you HAVE to get the mindset. You don't have to be some wanna-be Jedi to enjoythe crowd andfestivities. You just need to be active and open. You are SURE as HELL that!

[Plunder Down-Under]

Acting and Fantasy geek. I love stories.

[ginantonix]

Bah. I'm just embarassed that I'm the only one here (apperantly) who got the weasel. I guess being kind and gentle isn't noble. I don't think I like the maker of the quiz.

[Shryke]

I bar-b-qued my spirit animal when I was young.

Nature geek, art geek, history geek, and I'm working on becoming a biology geek...:p
I play RPGs but this far I haven't done any LARP, a friend of mine is working on that though. Also I'm far too curious for my own good. -Oh look a desolated industry site! Let's climb the fence and take photos!:o

And about things that go boom, I met my SO when helping him to make on-stage explosives for our high school Christmas school play. On our first (sort of ) date we had to run from the cops, we were testing out the the right amount of black powder for the charges, on a nearby (and empty) school yard at 10 pm... Let's just say that one of the charges had more than enough of everything... :dgrin:

[Captain Kitty]

I'm an otter??? .... fair enough

[Darlica]

Well otters are smart, cute and are able to use tools despite not having opposable thumbs. Not to mention they are able to turn a house upside down in less than 5 minutes and having a great time while doing it... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=310128468072066622&q=otters
:lol:

[Captain Kitty]

I want an otter!!!

[Ecchi_Kitty]

Suppose I count as a physics geek.... majored in physics for a couple years before turning to philosophy.
Despite comming from a medical family, have no intrest in biology. That's mostly thanks to a crappy biology 'teacher' in high school. Know more then a few who lost intrest in biology after taking his class.
(He was the volley ball coach, who happened to also teach. Decent coach, lousy teacher.)

[Kamn]

Particular subject? Math geek then. More of a gaming geek to be honest. Been playing comuters since the age of 10.

BTW, how much do you think it would cost to go to Dragoncon next year from Slovenia (Italy for easier calculations), and stay there for the whole con? Was tempted to go this year, but kinda ran outa moneh...:cry:

[domino]

Hmm.... lemme see... I think all I did for third year bio was Animal Behaviour (spent HOURS recording mating behaviour in salmon

I minored in psych cuz of all teh behavior classes i took...


not as spectacular as some of your stuff I bet)

not much as "impressive" as watching a male farm animal (ie-stallion/bull) ... collected... palpation is pretty neat-o too...

As far as spirit animals, i would have much rathered a carnivore of soem sort...i just dont get deers!

Hehe... I get deers... I gots part of one in the freezer right now. :dgrin:
