Other [Issue 51] What Kind of Tanker are You? II

[Fen-Harel 1,176]

Hello, readers! This time I thought it would be nice to give something new and learn about you at the same time. Below I've listed a number of personality types that I think most people can relate to. Have a look and maybe you'll find out which one you are.

---

Mammoth



Mammoths are commonly laid back and relaxed sort of tankers. They like to take their time to do things properly and don't rush into decisions before thinking them through. In activities they like to make the most out of their work, focusing on using their energy in the most efficient way possible, or rather with the minimal amount of effort. This causes them to look lazy in other people's eyes, but they're actually fairly calculated and can plan ahead quite well. The only problem is, all plans often happen at the same time and at the last possible moment.

These tankers also display their emotions in a more conservative manner, making it look like they aren't interested or engaged in the conversation. Point worth noting is that they still experience the emotional feelings, the only thing that's different is that they don't generally show them to others.

Python




These snake like tankers like to know what's happening around them, but don't enjoy being in the center of attention. They prefer observing from a distance and talking to people individually rather than in groups, since they want to get to know a person better directly. Pythons are also deceptive by nature. Once they learn enough about someone, they tend to use that to their advantage in any way they can. Although others feel slightly distrustful towards them, in reality most Pythons have good intentions and only mildly manipulate people for a mutually beneficial result. This comes from the fact that they closely know what other people want and try their best to those things happen, sometimes making it look like they're causing harm.

Pythons tend to stay out of crowds of people and focus more on building more meaningful friendships. A lot of people have trouble understanding their personality, partly because they aren't used to opening up towards only one person. This in turn results in Pythons sticking closer to the bonds they've already made, rather than creating new ones.


Dragon


These fiery personalities like to enjoy themselves as much as possible. They live for the moment, with little regard about the past and future. Dragons generally have only one goal to strive for - happiness for themselves and people around them. The positive outlook they have makes them quite friendly and fitting for group hangouts and are generally sought after to bring in a bit more fun to the table. The only drawback to this is they have trouble dealing with problems when they finally pile up.

They don't hide their emotions at all, which means other people don't really have any trouble figuring out how they feel. Because of this, they sometimes don't acknowledge people who aren't as open as themselves and might undermine the importance of their emotions.

Wasp


These speedy tankers are easily recognisable by their hyperactive spirit. They're in the midst of any event, contributing in unique and creative ways. All this makes them look more childish than other people which can cause them to be a bit too enthusiastic in social gatherings. However, once you get used to them, they'll think of a bunch of (on first glance childish) games that will keep you entertained for days.

Since they don't have a tendency to be serious, important meetings and discussions with Wasps can often be tedious. Specially because they don't take criticism maturely most of the time, causing a burst of emotion for every little thing that annoys them.

Jaguar



Jaguars are ambitious and explosive. They love to test themselves and push their bodies to the limit. For them, there's no such thing as too much sport or exercise. You'll often find them competing with other Jaguars, either in the gym or in the field. Since they're highly active, most people can't really keep up with them, so Jaguars often join specific clubs to meet similarly minded people.

Just like their way of life, their emotions are also fast to show. They'll react in a strong manner, which tends to draw people away if they don't expect it.

Hornet


These tankers only appreciate the very best and exquisite things in life... and the most expensive. They value money more than most other people, and will always strive to spend it in the most efficient way possible. A possible issue with this is that they can become too frugal, which can create awkward situations on a night out or similar stuff. Although, most Hornets don't have a problem with helping out people in need, they don't particularly enjoy it either.

Similarly, they're frugal with their emotions, too. Some people might even think Hornets only care about their money, but this is untrue. This is because it's in their character to play it safe and do as much as they can to prevent wasteful actions. Such behaviour comes to light especially when meeting strangers, which can cause a bad first impression. Of course, after you get to know them, it becomes apparent they're not what they seem at first glance.

Tiger


Tigers put their family as the top priority. They believe that those closest to them are vital in their lives and will do anything for them. Loyal, honest and hard-working, Tigers are perfect family members. Their relationships with friends can take a back seat, which can cause some difficulty. In order to get the best out if a Tiger, you must be such good friends with them, that they practically add you into their family.

Often the backbone of a household, Tigers have learned not to complain and will rather cater and care for their family. A commendable attitude, but it can tire them out if there's no one helping them.

Raccoon



Raccoons are the jokers of the group. No matter the situation, they'll always find a way to generate laughter out of it. They have a great sense of humour and a really relaxed personality, which can cause them not to take important events as seriously as they should. Still, they can always count on their friends to help them out when things go out of control.

In the regards to their emotions, the only one they tend to show is laughter and happiness. It's not in their nature to complain, so they often hide away their problems. This means that others have to put a bit more effort in if they want to help Raccoons.

Irbis



Exotic lifestyle is nothing strange to these tankers who love to spend their time travelling and experiencing unique cultures. Their passion is going from one place to another creating lasting memories that fulfil their lives. Meeting strangers along the way, turning them into acquaintances and eventually befriending them is an Irbis' goal. Although, due to their dynamic spirit and tendency not to stay in one place for too long, they can have trouble maintaining all relationships.

These tankers have learned to focus on the positive sides of life and rarely exhibit any sort of sadness. Even when leaving their newly created friendships, they know they'll have more. This can cause people who don't understand Irbis tankers to feel replaced or disappointed, even if that isn't the actual intended result.

Viking



Vikings are the type of tankers who crave stability over all else. They don't like taking risks, and always create back up plans. In major cases, this can turn into an obsession for security. While the consistent and safe lifestyle gives comfort, Vikings forsake the joy of life's unexpected events.

Their emotions are mostly minor, but if they lose their footing, they can quickly start to panic about the smallest of things. This is why it's important for them to have friends that'll help them through unforeseen events, even if Vikings don't like putting their trust in others too much.

Hunter



Hunters are Tanki's hopeless romantics. Their favourite pastime is hanging out with their love interest. If by any chance they're not in a relationship, they'll devote all their time to getting one. You're highly likely to meet these tankers across server chats busting out romantic poetry and cringey pick up lines. This kind of lifestyle means they often get judged for their choices and sometimes even lost friends due to focusing their attention elsewhere.

Still, Hunters can be quite sensitive and emotional, not only towards that special person, but towards others as well. They do tend to spill their feelings out in public a bit too often though.

Alligator




Alligators always strive towards careful planning and control. If anything doesn't go the way they've envisioned, they'll quickly erupt in anger. To them, it's important that everyone knows their place and follows the procedures assigned by whoever's in charge. Although they enjoy being in control, people tend to view Alligators as quite bossy and at times even annoying.

They don't display their feelings too much when things go their way. However, if someone doesn't listen to them or lies to them, they'll lash out with rabid anger. They'll pretty much be your most trustful friends and best event organisers up until a point you disobey them.

I'm a mix of Tiger and Python.  Family is very important to me, and I like to influence people without them noticing.  However, I'm also shy and an introvert.  

 

But yeah, the Tiger getting tired when they're the only one doing things... that's me amongst my siblings.  Oldest of twelve and often the one who cleans up for the others... *sigh*
