Bears are about creativity and camaraderie.
In the Teska Type System™, men who are by nature sociable are known as Bears. With their moderate (for a man) baseline levels of oxytocin, they’re inherently more sociable than Hawks. They like to socialize in larger groups, and typically like meeting new people.
At work, the priorities of Bears are creativity, freedom, and social interaction. They like to build, fix, and form things, and work as part of a team. In romance, a Bear wants a woman who’s like him in temperament, a woman who’s friendly and probably flirty: a lively Fox.
There are six different types of Bears.
