This actually has a psychological basis so go with it insha'Allah

Put these animals in order of importance to you insha'Allah, I'll give the psychoanalytic viewpoint later insha'Allah.

The animals are: Lion, Dog, Parrot and Elephant.

Just so you know, I chose:

Lion, Dog, Parrot and then Elephant.

But I actually thought about it first.

I chose Lion because to me it means strength, I chose dog before parrot because I'd rather have somebody faithful (dog) before I talk to them about myself (parrot) and then Elephant last. But when we got the explanation, I was pleasantly surprised that I agreed with it. But also that my thinking behind my choices seemed to be totally irrelvant.

Okay then I'll choose

Elephant, Lion, Dog, Parrot.

**highway_trekker** · 10-13-2008

Lion, Elephant, Parrot, Dog..

**Re.TiReD** · 10-13-2008

Ok here goes.

The key to order and animals. Match the number with your choice of animal insha'Allah

1) How you want others (significant people in your life) to perceive you today.

2) How you believe you are actually perceived today by others.

3) How you'd like to be perceived by others in the future

4) How you actually truly want to be - without influence of what other significant people in you life feel and think about you

And now for the animals. So say for example you chose lion second, you'd take that and link it with number two and so on and so forth...

Dog: Friendly, faithful, loyal, supportive, protective, dependable, reliable, trustful, trusting, solid, keen, hard-working, loving.

Lion: dominant, fearsome, independant, decisive, proactive, isolated, aloof, leading, critical, objective, detached, focused, fearless.

Elephant: Tolerant, passive, cooperative, respected, big, strong, controlled, calm, indomitable, revered, wise.

Parrot: Lively, fun, free-spirited, sociable, amenable, popular, attractive, cheerful, passionate, spontaneous.

hmm, now this may seem like a loada tosh to some but I liked it, the underpinning theory is that of Carl Rogers' ideas about the Ideal Self and the Real Self. And also some theories of Sigmund Freud....
