The videos would be better if I had a sound card, but the newsletter is informative.
I had fun taking the quiz. According to the quiz, I’m an Ostrich. That’s about 90% correct. How can I become a Tiger?
Hey, I’ve currently got a 50/50 chance of winning! Gotta like those odds.
I’m also a Fox.

Thanks, Craig! We’ll let you know!
It was a nice quiz and I’m a chameleon. Posted the quiz on FaceBook. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=1655551144
My quiz said I’m a chameleon but I think I’m more of a blend of that, along with the tiger and fox.
Here’s the link to my post:

Pick me! Pick me!
I guess Fox it is for me. I do enjoy reading this newsletter.
Tony the Tiger here. Years of corporate involvement helped with the quiz.
I’m a Chameleon. I don’t agree…the offered responses didn’t apply. In many cases there wasn’t one close to how I would respond.
Posted to Facebook.
I am an ostrich. But I knew that before I took the test. Great quiz though. Not sure if I want to change or not, not sure I COULD change.
Hey, Debbie! Thanks for taking the quiz. The perspective of Leadership Instinct isn’t that you need to change your style, but that by being aware of your style, along with the pros and cons, you can tame your instinct to be a great leader – instead of a worst boss.
So, embrace your instinct, and discover how to be the best you can as an Ostrich!
After watching the videos knew I would be a Fox but not sure I fully have all the cons. Guess I will learn more soon.
Okay this whole posting on a blog thing and putting in the link has me stumped – So perhaps I am a Fox with data but don’t get the internet stuff all the time.
I think this is my facebook link. I hope trying gets you in the contest.

I am a Chameleon – not a big surprise there! I do have to remind myself I cannot make everyone happy. And I like bugs. http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=23567888&trk=tab_pro
I am a Chameleon and posting for Facebook this time. I have over 800 friends so maybe the word will get out. Wish me luck!!

I’m a Tiger – doubling down! http://twitter.com/Mark_DeK
I’m a Chameleon. Oh Fun! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/home.php?sk=lf
I’m a tiger!
I’m a Fox, what are you? http://twitter.com/craigapoe
Hilarious videos! I’ve worked with every one of these types. I’m a fox, by the way. What a great way to identify the instinct type and help manage your, and that individual’s, style of communication and management.
I’m a fox, what are you? Find out and maybe win an ipad at http://bit.ly/WINiPad/#leaderinstinct
a chameleon. not really…
I am a Chameleon
You know that outgoing and charming person who has more fun than anyone else? That’s you! With your warm and friendly personality, you tend to be everyone’s best friend. People are drawn to your charm, your enthusiasm and your sometimes inappropriate stories.
Ok, somewhat
I’m a Chameleon. I love my job and am generally very happy! I do tend to take on to much…but never under deliver, I just work harder to complete it all!
I’m a Fox – my facebook family will totally agree.
I am a fox, I am also a shark, so now I am a foxy shark.
Me too Fox
I’m a Fox! What are you? Take the quiz http://bit.ly/LIquiz & enter to win an iPad. http://bit.ly/WINiPad #leaderinstinct
I am an ostrich, not sure if that is good or not.
I blogged about it here! http://theartofrandomwillynillyness.blogspot.com/2010/04/woo-giveaways-to-enter.html
I am a Tiger. I don’t feel like a Tiger, but I am sure there are those that would agree with the results.
I posted on twitter http://twitter.com/ivansmom60/statuses/11963875730
I’m a fox too, it seems pretty accurate but from the looks of these other comments, there are a lot of us foxes out there. I tweeted it here: http://bit.ly/byW7yX
WOW did’t think I would be the Tiger, BUT I do see that sometimes when the situation calls for it. It was alot of fun I posted it on my facebook
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?ref=profile&id=1067653898
Haha. I never really thought of myself as a Tiger, so I am interested to see how the simulcast is going to work.
Steve
Ok, got it all done. I indeed am a fox, with a lot to learn on how I can get better! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=1489571107
I am a fox
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/profile.php?id=1489571107
I am a fox. Cunning and sounds just like me. Pretty cool.
I am a fox – looks like I have alot of company!
I thought maybe I was an ostrich, but I’m a fox. This kind of self-evaluation is very helpful, especially for us job hunters. “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man” –Shakespeare in Hamlet.
I am a fox and I shared it on Facebook.

I am a Lion. Really didn’t see that coming.
Interesting quiz. Nailed it right on the head!
I personally love Chameleons, but was relieved not to “be one”.
Depending upon my mood though I can turn from an Ostrich into a Tiger.
So watch out!
At any given moment it might be fur or feathers flying!
I posted the quiz link up on my Facebook page, it’ll be interesting to see what my family is.

I am a fox also
I am a fox?! I think at times we are all a little of each but it’s good to use the ‘Pros’ of each and be aware of the “cons’!
I’m a fox. Pretty right on. http://www.facebook.com/?sk=nf
Yup… I’m a fox. Spreadsheets and lists keep me straight. I memorize everything, but if it’s not on a list my priorities get out of order. If my memory was more like a Rolodex/Calendar, I would never need a PDA. Even at home, if my husband and I don’t mesh our lists together (usually via text message with a copy and paste into a listing program) and prioritize, our day is a waste trying to do everything together with our two boys in tow.
Not suprising to be found a tiger. I posted the link on twitter and facebook

I’m an ostrich? No way! I demand a retest!
I think I am guilty of each style, depending on who, what, when, where & how. I do like people to get along, but not at all cost.
Sooooo… I’m better on weekends!
I’m a tiger, no surprise there. http://www.facebook.com/?sk=nf
Shocked by this!
