I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, although I enjoy both.

25% to prefer George Harrison as their favorite Beatle (dog people like Paul) - I'm too young to have a favorite Beatle.
21% more likely to prefer ironic humor and puns (dog people like slapstick) - This is definitely true for my sense of humor.

So---we should pat ourselves on the back for being classy, deep, introspective types!

Thank you. I am learning not to waste time responding to posts that are literally a total waste of time.
My definition of 'fun' is a little more involved than posts like that. Want to take a ride in my G4? That is more fun.

Red face Another Dog Owner

I read the original Reader's Digest article and it was true about me, the dog lover While I do like cats, this extrovert who likes slapstick comedy enjoys going on long walks and hikes with my puppies as well as watching them play at the dog park.

Not only did you read it, but you responded to the thread twice. You must be a slow learner.

Introvert-- used to be. Came out of my shell in college when I got my first cat of my own.
Grad degree-- yup
Beatles-- I like George, but can't seem to get Ringo out of my head.
Humor-- What's the cross between sarcasm and physical comedy?

End result... Probably a good thing that I have both a cat and a dog so I don't skew those "scientific results" too much.

The criteria are huge generalizations, but they have some truth to them.

This is a pretty accurate description of me although I take these surveys with a grain of salt becasue they are not exactly scientific.

I also like dogs and would have one if I could. Given a choice though, cats win hands down and tails up.
