[quote="Coyote"]Obsydian_Sunrise: <grin> I think you may have something there... although some of us are more normal or more weird than others, of course. I do think that we tend to be further from the center/average on some things, and closer to the fringes.[/quote]

I have a certian problem with stuffing a poly-aspect abstract behavioural model onto a two-dimensional curve, but okay. Even the Jung-Myers-Briggs is more accurate, even tho it is also piggonholeing people into 16 groups.

I am like a line accross a graph, where a dot is expected, I could fit many diffirent categories, both in Jung-Myers-Briggs and various curves, depending on what I feel like and what the time of year is.

A wolf is like a region, onto which many lines fit and therianism is another such region. If you don't overgeneralize and reduce the number of aspects you take into effect, you realize people have a pretty good idea on what they fall under (unless they happen to be delusional of course). So so much about how we fit the general picture... everybody does, that's the [b]idea[/b].

As for wolf emotions and all... well I would not argue about intensity and presence, since I have managed to observe that diffirent therians have diffirent levels of various aspects... most of us are a rather unique combination of animal and human. But then again, there are certian emotional patterns which are characteristic of cannines, those should be recognized and confirmed, for the sake of reasurance if nothing else.

I personally have very many emotional reactions which are consistend with a those of a pack animal... I feel for others, I've talked about this in the empathy thread, I am protective of my friends, we talked more than enough of this in all the other threads. 

As for the old mythos & holywood, where a werewolf is supposed to be a highly rageous beast, we all know best to take those with a grain of salt. I've commonly considered those as a point made by missunderstanding. That is, wolves and the wolf therians I know tend to get agressive when in contact with those behaviours which are characteristic of humans, they are sane healthy wolfies otherwise, but they can't stand [i]that[/i].
