If you  cat  or a  dog person ? Even people who have no other company or tend to be defined as one or the other, and the answer may be something some of the personality, for example, a new study.

In general, dogs are more social and willing to please, while cats are more introverted and strange.

In the new study, which describes itself as a cat and dog people, who seem to share these characteristics.

Even if we adopt this notion that man dog, and people chat a little differently, we do not really know how it is different and has previously failed to tell us,  psychologist and study investigator Sat Gosling, Ph.D., University of Texas at Austin, told WebMD.

He believes that because previous studies focused on differences in personality of the cat and dog owners ignored the fact that a person who has a dog, a cat and vice versa.

As part of a broad line of research, personality, and colleagues Carson J. Gosling Sandy, said about 4,500 people, when people are cat or dog people.
Conscience. Common behaviors include self-discipline, sense of duty and the tendency for spontaneous to planned behavior.
Extraversion. Voltage is gregarious, enthusiastic, positive and energetic.
Adoption. It contains features such as trust, altruism, kindness, love and companionship.
Opening. It includes features such as art appreciation, curiosity, creativity and original thinking and behavior.
Neurotic. It includes features such as easily stressed, anxious or easily upset.
I would say in terms of personalities, I, Woody Allen is at one end of the spectrum and the  Dude  from The Big Lebowski is on the other hand,  said Gosling.

Forty-six percent of respondents identified the man as a dog, while 12% said they were cat people. Twenty-eight percent said that both, and 15% said they were not.

Cat People vs. Dog People Accor ding to the results, even the dogs identified people were 15% more extroverted, more agreeable 13% and 11% more than the conscientious people chat.

Cat People was over 12% more neurotic and 11% more open than people dog.
But he adds that the results may have significant effects in animal therapy, suggesting that consideration of personality can help people in need of wild animals as appropriate.

The study will appear later this year Anthrozoos magazine.

The film producer Susan Williams, Atlanta, has a dog and two cats, but is firmly in the dog camp.

Not my cats too because he knows that I do not understand,  he said.

Williams said that is definitely of the opinion, dogs are generally more outgoing and pleasant, that cats and people are more introverted.

We beat one of theft,  he said.  To avoid a battle, I agree with you if you tell me the sky is green.
