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.
Strengths
In a team a Jaguar will:
- Be a good listener, paying attention to ideas offered by others.
- Focus on the task at hand and suggest the steps needed to achieve the goals.
- Be flexible and willing to adapt and change plans if the situation demands it.
- Work co-operatively, collaboratively to support and encourage other
team members.
Improvements
Things for Jaguar to work on:
- Make sure you do contribute and speak up, especially in larger groups.
- Consider all ideas fully, don’t dismiss before you understand what is
being suggested. - Don’t be upset if people ignore your suggestions.
- Don’t always rely on making it up as you go along. A plan can help others even if it can leave you frustrated.

- To take the lead when you are the best person for the task.
- Not to gamble with important decisions.

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.

- Cyber Security
