Prefers to establish long-term relationships, rather than brief, superficial ones, with a tendency to be unselfish and sensitive to the needs of others while possessing an empathetic listening style. Provides a stable and consistent point of view and often sought out by others for assistance or advice. Decisions are not made with knee-jerk or crisis reactions but rather with a thoughtful and deliberate manner that considers the full scope of outcomes
