I'm a Gryphon with a Wyvern shadow side. I found the test to be spot on considering I'm a Taurus and anger has always been one of my down sides.
Firebird
Air with Fire
Astrologically associated with Aquarius and the Eleventh House
Firebird types are idealistic and driven to achieve something of social or artistic value. They have a strong sense of social justice associated with powerful moral and religious convictions. These convictions are often chosen by the individual on the basis of reason rather than simply received from an existing tradition. They are brilliant at producing original ideas and creative solutions to problems and are good at inspiring others to put them into practice. They can be impatient for results. They hate routine and lose interest once a problem has been addressed, moving swiftly on to the next challenge. They are intense and need a high level of autonomy. They are sociable but goal-oriented. They have good leadership potential but are really more concerned with problem solving. They are unconventional and often radical.
Shadow:
[i]Centaur
Earth and Water
This shadow wants to control everything. They want to control everyone, and will keep people at a distance except to do this. They don’t trust emotions because they are random and unfathomable. They seek to control their emotions too, to avoid being engulfed by them. They fear the unknown and hate what is hidden from them. From this comes a compulsive urge to reveal everything as far as possible and to categorize it. This can represent the sum of what they achieve, while more substantial goals are ignored. Even emotions are rationalized away or simply ignored, making them insensitive and callous. The biggest obstacle of weak Water is to overcome insensitivity and alienation; the biggest obstacle of weak Earth is to overcome self-centeredness and greed.

Wyvern: They are among the most outgoing of all the types, highly sociable both at work and at play.
Spot on, indeed.

Originally posted by PalynkaDefinitely, spot on. I can be someone's best friend or their worst enemy. I can be a total loner one day and a party animal the next. People are complex creatures, don't you agree?

The point is that the test is so bad that it actually contradicts itself in its predictions for your personality. That you're now trying to rationalize that fact tells me you'd probably gobbled almost anything down. It's enough to put enough characteristics in there and you ignore the things that don't fit and marvel at those that did.

In each of us there is a shadow side which we hide from the rest of the world. The face we wish no-one to see, not even ourselves. I have no problem with my shadow side, in fact, I embrace it.
Anyways, this was just a fun quiz, nothing more, nothing less. The fact that you would jump to the assumption that it's something more then that, tells me you have issues of your own. Maybe you think the people who took the super hero quiz, took that seriously as well. Yes? No? Life's to short to stress BS pal, you might consider chilling out a bit.
