Year of the Tiger · The Brave Rebel

Portrait of the Tiger

Tigers walk into a situation and change its temperature. You are bold, magnetic and allergic to being told "that's just how it's done." Courage is your default setting, and you would rather fail spectacularly than live quietly by someone else's rules.

Behind the swagger is a fierce sense of justice. You defend friends, strangers and stray cats with equal passion, and your enthusiasm is so contagious that people follow you into plans that sounded impossible an hour ago.

At a glance

Strengths

• Fearless and decisive
• Natural, inspiring leader
• Protective of the underdog
• Generous with energy

Blind spots

• Impatient with slow people and slow wifi
• Acts first, reads the fine print later
• Hates admitting a mistake

In love

Romance with a Tiger is all-in, passionate and a little dramatic. You need a partner who can match your spark but also gently hold the leash when you charge at windmills.

At work

Shines in leadership, activism, sports, the military, entrepreneurship and any job that needs someone to go first. Routine paperwork is your natural predator.

With friends

You are the friend who plans the road trip and insists everyone come. You hype people up until they believe it.
