Tarantula vs Scorpion

[tiktok]

I am not very familiar with scorpions & have just started researching them recently. I mostly only hold my inverts during cage cleaning & for photos, but was wondering, if you take out the factor that all animals have individual personalities, would you say that an average emperor scorpion is more or less likely to pinch/sting when handled than say an average chaco golden stripe tarantula is to kick hairs/bite when handled?

I'd say the Chaco Gold Knee would be less likely to strike, but from what i can tell, my emperor scorpion was psychotic compared to most and my Gold knee is so docile. lol

Well, in the zoo, there was one emperor scorpion aggressive and psychotic, but another was as dangerous as a towel.

so it is more the character.
