  • You have the ability to dig beneath the surface and read people and situations accurately. You are incredibly observant, and that makes your thought process both deep and complex. You don't take things for what they may seem to be at first sight and you have the gift of perception beyond the naked eye. You understand human actions, relationships, and body language exceptionally well, but you also have a strong understanding of books, art, and anything expressive that requires prolonged explanation
  • problem solver
  • highly empathetic -- to the point where i routinely feel others embarrassment, pain, fears, etc. potentially a fault but also a strength.
