Furry Psychology 101: types of furry
So I have been interested in furry for almost 10 years now. It's a very dynamic group of people and interests. It's changed and molded and spawned new sub genres over the years. However, while furry is truly defined as "anthropomorphic animals," that actually covers a wide variety of things. As I'm sure all of you have discovered, there are many different types of furries. After some deliberation, I think I have been able to break it down into 11 specific and unique categories. Each one is all apart of furry, but unique from the others in some way. Every part of furry (at least the ones I'm aware of) all fit into one of these categories. It seems most people I have shown this too primarily fit into either one or two of these. I know some of you may like all of them, but there's still probably one that stands out or was your link to furryism.

With some much needed graphic help from Lucky Wolf, enjoy. Where do you all fit in?

I'm more Anthro Toony, but I have to admit I have a soft spot for Feral Toony as well. My fursona was actually more feral when I first joined the fandom. It wasn't until my first con, FWA 2005, I decided to go anthro.

A little bit of several for me. Mostly Anthro with a blend of both Toony and Realistic Toony. I enjoy feral toony of both anthro and feral as well.

Do u have one that interests you slightly more... or maybe one that you had an interest in first before discovering what furry was?

I mostly alternate between Toony Anthro and Feral. Sometimes Therian, depending on my mood. :3

Not sure where I fall in here... I suppose more feral realism, though two of my most favorite movies fall into toony feral.

Why "The Fox and the Hound" is left out is anyone's guess O.o

Well, i've been partial to the realistic toony variety since I found furry those many years ago.

Very interesting, though...

Somewhere between realistic toony and toony. Toony. Toony is fun to say.

I'm a little confused on the both the Feral Anthro sections. I can see how ADGH is anthro, as they use their paws as hands and can walk upright, but I'm not getting how Bolt is the same as that.

I love how Feral Realistic is split into movies and books :P Great job over all though, very clever!

Hmm... I like the were-trans realism, but I'm probably more Feral Realism Feral... :D How fun!
