I was unable to locate the animal totem test, however, I learned that I was of the geek/nerd clique in high school from that site.

Take as a given that the test may not be accurate ...

But fox is about invisibility, secrets, and the ability to hide in plain sight. Like many canids, she also tells us about maintaining a safe and stable home and relationship.

Caveat noted. But even so the comments are interesting ...

I thought my totem was the Pack Rat.

You scored as Bear.
You are the bear. You have a great strength in your limbs as well as in your heart. You enjoy being playful more than anything and love life.

You are the Eagle. People respect you and for good reason. You are a creative person who likes to do things abstractly. You tend to be a healer, either with yourself or with others.

My totem animal is "Bill, the Cat," of Bloom County fame. In my past life I was a serf who got killed in a very minor Russian border skirmish. My name was "Billeteski." 19 publishers have already rejected my manuscript. :p

Hey! What could be more American than Bill the CAT? What's alien bout him?

The trouble with totem animals is that they seem to be far more complex than most white folks realize. My Zuni friend is from the Badger clan, so you'd think his totem would be the badger, right? Wrong! When he did his coming of age ritual, he encountered bears, so the bear is his totem animal, but his affinity is for the lynx.

I think its too easy to get caught up in New Age BS and accidently misunderstand or even disrepect other people's traditions. Its easy to take a quiz on the Internet and decide your totem is a cocker spaniel or something; its quite a different thing to go to a sacred, wild space for 5 days with no weapon, no trail mix, no sleeping bag and encounter a bunch of bears (or whatever).

No she isn't an alien. Mar is smart and funny and has a creative mind. If anyone is going to lay claim to the alien thing that has to be me. I am an alien.

100% Fox.

Kind of interesting because I saw a red fox on the front porch last night.

I know.....Tests like these are only as good as the persons answers and the creator of the test. I think the person who made the test did a pretty good job? I guess.* shrug * It's fun to explore anyway.
