I’m not great at typing, but I’d call them INTP/ISTP or INTJ.

This one is a curious one. I believe I have a better memory, but I believe that our 'intelligence' is less like two discrete things, and more like a resource that we are able to tap into two different sides of. Fenn is witty, artistically intelligent, and has a head for science when they aren't being hard on theirself. My talents lie in grammar, structure, and mathematical concepts. It is somewhat of a left brain right brain situation, I suppose. There are other differences, but I am adamant they are not an issue with intelligence. I am better at coming up with what we are doing for the day, because I simply have a head for planning, not because Fenn is dumb. ]

Bearded vulture/lammergeier people are private and patient people. They’re close-bonding but not very demonstrative - not the type to be affectionate or expressive. They’re definitely assertive, not anxious or timid. They have a self-conscious streak though, especially when it comes to their work, which they’re very defensive of. They’re efficient and proactive workers, and can get single-minded to the point of obsession.

Spotted seals would be more loyal than other seals. I’d call them ambiverts, comfortable by themselves or in gregarious groups. However, they’re only comfortable if these groups are familiar to them. With strangers they are reserved/shy, private, wary, even a little anxious. They’re very conflict-avoidant and change-avoidant as a result. They also can have an altruistic streak.

Wood mice/field mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) are ambiverted and independent people, who are probably the type to be concerned about their social status. They’re hard working and cooperative, ambitious and determined when it comes to their work. They’re very thorough and have a competitive side, and they’re not afraid to use manipulation to achieve their goals. These are intuitive and adaptable sorts. They also can be the anxious type.

Side striped jackals are loyal, close-bonding, and dutiful ambiverts. They’re adaptable and opportunistic, and they have a lazy streak and will cut corners if they need to. These people are very expressive/vocal, and have a shy/sensitive side. They can also be defensive, but not in an aggressive way.

While wolves are validation seeking and conflict-avoidant, they’re also quite assertive and confident (especially with the back-up of their group). Maybe look at jackals for more sensitive/anxious canids?

Hmmmmm that’s a tough one. The most I can get from them is non-expressive, intuitive, single-minded, and low-energy/need a long time to work on things. I’d tentatively say they’re non-viable in analytic terms.
