Indeed.

An animal's mind is not made to fit within a human typing system.

But nonetheless, we could make comparisons with humans. For instance, elephants's brains are three times larger than ours, and the area dedicated to memorization is beyond compare. Their memory knows no equal, it's probably eidetic. Thus, somehow, their minds would probably look very S to us.

The more clever the animal, the more sense the comparison makes. Dolphins, chimps and elephants might be good candidates.

Though I always thought crabs were very INTPish... Lonely, feed on corpses, not very expressive, hard-shelled and communicate only with their claws. But that would rather be a metaphor, of course...
