Empathy

People who are especially talented in the Empathy theme can sense the feelings of other people by imagining themselves in others’ lives or others’ situations.

What makes you stand out?

Because of your strengths, you:

• May have quick and ready insights into the moods and emotions of specific individuals. This awareness might enhance your effectiveness as a trainer, guide, or instructor. Perhaps your sensitivity allows you to help certain people express what they are thinking or feeling.

• By nature, you rely on your awareness of others’ feelings, thoughts, and needs to guide you into and through partnerships.

• You consider various ways to initiate, nurture, and sustain the linkages between individuals and groups.

• You bring people together. You help them discover reasons to cooperate and support one another.

• Chances are good that you are quite sympathetic to the idea that no monetary reward can buy you or anyone else contentment, peace, or a sense of personal well-being.

• Instinctively, you occasionally interpret the moods of people. Perhaps you sense what they are thinking or feeling at the moment they experience an event, overhear a comment, reach a goal, or make a mistake.

Driven by your talents, you are a person who feels things very deeply. This is one reason why you place high importance on having others know who you are as a person and as a professional. You probably hope individuals grasp what you think, feel, need, dream, and desire.
