Knowing that what they are doing is meaningful gives people with this personality type a sense of purpose and even courage when it comes to accomplishing something they believe in. 𝑆𝑒𝑒𝑘 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑦 – People with the Mediator personality type have no interest in having power over others, and don’t much care for domineering attitudes at all. They prefer a more democratic approach, and work hard to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard.

This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as they try to push themselves to commit to a chosen cause or person, forgetting to take care of the needs of others in their lives, and especially themselves. 𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑇𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 – Mediators often take challenges and criticisms personally, rather than as inspiration to reassess their positions.
