Introduction

It’s 1951 and young professor who is the son of a convicted criminal, gets into a “nature versus nurture” argument with the college dean who is also the father of his fiancee. To prove that environment is more important than heredity in moral development, or in his own words, that “even a monkey brought up in the right surroundings can learn the meaning of decency and honesty,” the professor embarks on an experiment with playful lab chimp Bonzo as his test subject.

The light comic role proved to be a perfect fit for Ronald Reagan who brings an amiable presence to the part of Professor Peter Boyd. And Bedtime for Bonzo became a box-office hit.

Ronald Reagan would later become president of the Screen Actor’s Guild, Governor of California and one of America’s most beloved President…serving two terms.

Another Governor…and Seal named Bill Clinton would play the Saxophone on late night television and win the presidency. (tmc.com)

PsySign Summary

Seals are born entertainers and love the spotlight. And in fact, many famous people with the ESFP personality type are indeed actors but they love putting on a show for their friends too, chatting with a unique and earthy wit, soaking up attention and making every outing feel a bit like a party. Utterly social, Seals enjoy the simplest things, and there’s no greater joy for them than just having fun with a good group of friends. (16personalitie.com)

More About the Animal

The legend of the Selkie is told along the Western coast of Scotland and as far down as Ireland. Selkies are seals in the water, but once on land, they take off their skins and become human. If an ordinary mortal sees a Selkie in human form, they will inevitably fall in love. The Selkie legend has several variations but never ends happily. The husband or wife of a Selkie may hide away their seal skins, but once their hiding place is discovered the Selkie is powerless to resist the call of the sea. He slides back into his skins and departs, leaving behind any children. (ElizabethGifford.com)

Seals, scientifically known as PInnipeds, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic marine mammals. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae (whose only living member is the walrus), Otariidae (the eared seals: sea lions and fur seals), and Phocidae (the earless seals, or true seals).

There are 33 extant species of pinnipeds, and more than 50 extinct species have been described from fossils. Pinnipeds belong to the order Carnivora and their closest living relatives are bears and musteloids (weasels, raccoons, skunks, and red pandas), having diverged about 50 million years ago.

Energy Signature – Se, Fi, Te, Ni

Seals lead with external sensing meaning that they are very attuned to the nuances of their physical environment. THey live very much “in the moment” and can be upset by those who feel their life should be more organized.

A Seal’s second function is Introverted Feeling (Fi) and can develop a strong sense of “right and wrong” that they believe is important to them. They can hold steady to believes and friendships that are close to them and develop loyalty and a sense of “purpose” for their life. A seal’s nature to “do first, think later” can cause them to do things that might violate their Introverted Feeling. This can cause them to feel bad later and possibly regret some of their actions.

Relationships

Seals (ESFPs) are extremely literal and concrete when communicating. … Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, a Seal’s natural partner is the Beaver (ISTJ), or the Horse(ISFJ). A Seal’s dominant Extraverted Sensing function is best matched with a personality that is dominated by Introverted Sensing. (personalitypage.com)
