Considerate

Improviser

Calm

Jaguars enjoy freedom and flexibility. Although warm and friendly they are also comfortable spending time alone, exploring the world around them. They are mostly quiet but possess a loud roar which sounds like wood being sawed when they want to be heard. Jaguars eat a wide variety of meat and hunt during night and day. Being adept at changing plans contributes to their success.

People with Jaguar personalities tend to love the outdoors and see life as something to be packed with adventures and experiences to try out and enjoy. They enjoy living in the moment. Sometimes need encouraging to ask for help when they need it, rather than always trying to find their own solution. Often very close to their family and can feel nervous about leaving home. They are often loyal friends and are good at solving problems  without making a fuss.
 

Natural roles for Jaguars

Characteristics

Jaguars thrive working away behind the scenes to get the job done whilst creating a positive team atmosphere. They tend to like variety and action rather than concentrating on one repetitive thing for a long time.

When struggling they fidget and find it hard to contain their frustration and boredom. To get back on track, take a break, go for a walk, or go to the library to do some research.

Jaguars don’t mind being told what needs to be done but not how to do it. They’d rather work it out for themselves.

Advice for Jaguars

We asked older Jaguars what advice they’d send back to their teenage self to
make sure they were happy and successful.  This is what they said:

  • To share more of yourself and your ideas
  • To take the lead when you are the best person for the task.
  • Not to gamble with important decisions.

Do you think this advice can help you?

Job and course ideas

Jaguars usually seek action and excitement to achieve career happiness. They like variety in their workplace and in their work tasks. They fear being bored at work (and outside of work).

Fast-paced activities including emergency services, transport, hospitality, retail, busy manufacturing and engineering or outdoor locations. Providing complex services to people can also satisfy their wanderlust. 

To prevent boredom, careers likely to increase in the next ten years, such as:

  • Cyber Security
  • Ethical Hacker
  • Drone Pilot
  • Data Broker
  • Virtual and Augmented Reality
  • Artificial Intelligence

are of potential interest to Jaguars.
