Episode 4 of the "It's a Zoo Around Here" special...
And this one is about the Elephants.
People who have the elephant behaviour are both indirect and guarded. They seem to be very concerned with the process of thinking, and are persistent, systematic problem-solvers.
But they also can be seen as aloof, picky and critical. Elephants are very security-conscious and have a strong need to be right.
This leads them to an over-reliance on data collection. In their quest for data they tend to ask lots of questions about specific details. This can be infuriating to monkeys and lions.
Elephants actions and decisions tend to be extremely cautious.
Although they are great problem-solvers, elephants are poor decision-makers. They may keep collecting data even beyond the time when a decision is due, justifying their caution by saying, “When you are making vast decisions, you cannot do it on half-vast data.”
