What Kind of Pet Should You Get?

When it comes to finding the puuuur-fect pet, you should look no further than a cute little puss in boots. Just like your feline counterpart, you'd never shy away from a challenge. Always inquisitive, you're known for being a little quiet, but that's just because you like to take it all in before you make a move. Watching your kitty bat away at a ball of string? Feeling her purr against your stomach? Now that's the cat's meow!

Independent, self-confident, and self-assured, you like to make friends and hang out on your own terms. So now that the cat's out of the bag, go bag one of your own!

The Love Test

You appreciate having the space to do your own thing and don't tend to feel swayed by what others are up to. You're not the type who typically feels the need to hang out at the "cool" clubs or sample the latest restaurants just to say you have. In fact, you may not even know the latest buzz about those things since they really aren't important to you. You probably like to come up with your own ideas of how to spend an entertaining evening and with whom.

What's Your Stress Style?

You're a Rock 'n' Roller. Your high-profile stress style often requires the use of props. As a child, you may have sucked your thumb or held fast to a favorite "blankie" both harmless and comforting ways of easing your worries. But as you grew up, it became less socially acceptable to carry that stuffed animal around or suck on a baby bottle.

Instead, you started leaning on one or more of society's approved crutches caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, food or maybe even some of the unapproved ones. Some stress-related behaviors (such as nail biting, hair twirling, and over-eating, to name a few) hurt no one but yourself. Others, like alcoholism or drug addiction, extend their negative effects to your loved ones.

So try trading in any harmful habits for less-damaging ones. Drink a glass of water when you get the urge for a cigarette, and try herbal tea instead of coffee. Joining a yoga or exercise class may help counter food cravings and make you feel better overall. You don't have to handle stress without props just choose the right ones for the job.

Right Job/Wrong Job

As an Analytical type, you don't want to be limited by established rules and regulations. Your inquisitive nature demands that you sometimes question authority. Otherwise, you might not be able to find fresh approaches, or come up with new solutions to a problem. It's not that you act without weighing the pros and cons of a situation — it's more that you're more willing than others to take justifiable risks if they'll further your career success.

You're smart enough to know when you need help and are confident enough in your abilities to ask for it. You understand that sometimes there are no clear right and wrong answers, and that's just fine with you because you tolerate gray areas better than most. In fact, pondering potential outcomes can sometimes be more interesting than coming up with the definitive solution for you.

Your right job doesn't have to be about self-expression, but it needs to be a job you can be proud of.
