We had badgers living in our ditch down the road from the farm when I was kid, we were scared to death of them. They were highly defensive and cranky, very sharp powerful claws, not just for digging either. Nothing you wanted a confrontation with.
Reversed could be still the qualities of the upright, but out of balance in some way, more of the negative personality perhaps or negative focus, learning things that aren't good for you? Or maybe being too scattered or distracted to focus on anything or not focusing on what you need to.

I drew the Page Shields rx in the ' How x feels' position and found it gave a totally different perspective than the usual. Badger , strong and courageous upright but here not so - losing his power under a stronger influence and going to earth. Hiding, feeling helpless and powerless.
This could be, X just doesn't want to know or spend the time it takes to learn someone...wanting the easy way that comes with no effort, isn't into focusing on anything or just can't. Not putting effort or energy into anything. Maybe lazy, maybe defensive about it and guarding behavior. Maybe feeling overwhelmed by the subject, incapable, not participate and just watch, not get involved. I keep getting the feeling of the definition for ADD's. Attention Deficit Disorder...too much going on, too much imput to assimulate or so much going in that they can't finish anything without guidance, not staying on task. Not from a lack of intelligence, but the mind goes off in all directions or what is to be studied isn't capturing the interest as much as other more escapist daydreams and interests. Maybe a bad attitude.
Just some thoughts...
