Unless we are defining "dog person" and "cat person" differently. I thought being a dog person or a cat person meant preferring those animals as your companions and identifying with them, not an actual personality type classification. |

yeah, it can be that as well but it's also more than that. You don't have to actually own a dog or prefer to have dogs to be a "dog person"
Tim posted the article earlier but it got over looked. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...ive-dog-people

Ok fine... IMO I have formulated what might (keyword might) be a pattern of we cat people being melancholy, infinitely passionate, giving more than what's given even in convo, slightly out of touch w/ reality, glass is half full, susceptible to going mad at least a few times in our lives, and drawing inspiration from within instead of from others.
What do you think? =s |

See, I guess this is where I disagree with the article and this notion, I was defining "dog person" as a person who prefers to have dogs as companions as opposed to cats. I was not referring to it as a full-blown personality classification as I don't believe the small amount of studies done it in warrants it to be used as a personality type.
I consider myself more of a "dog person" because I have pet dogs and I enjoy their companionship more than I would cats. I love dogs and spend lots of time with them as animals, more time than I spend with cats. I may possess some of the random personality traits that this article suggests, I may not. But I wouldn't go so far as to say "You're not really a dog person because you don't have that stereotypical dog personality." |
