Thoughts on conflict solving and a book

Today in class we talked about conflict. We did an questionaire by which we were divide into five type of handling conflict, problem-solving owl, smoothing teddybear, forcing shark, compromising fox, and the withdrawing turtle. I was classified into the owl, who put emphasis on both goal and personal relationship when handling conflict. I agree with this result. When I had conflict with friends or family in the past, I always tried to confront the problem directly, and tried talking or even exchanging letters wit that person when the situation is worse, to meet the best goal and also to preserve the good relationship.

What I do not understand is why owl represents problem solving in this questionaire. So, I did a little research on "animal symbolim" and found this page.

(I only researched about owl so if you are interested in other four, I think you can look for them too in this website)
According to this website, owl is often used to symbolize wisdom, intelligence, foresight and many other attribute mainly because the owl is a great foreteller of weather conditions and because it can see in the dark. So I personally think owl was used for problem solving because it can seek light or a way(goal and relationship) even in the dark situation (conflict).

So that is my hypothesis. What is yours for your own animal? Thank you for reading.
