The Basics

You are diplomatic, fair, tactful, and reasonable, possessing considerable social finesse; working well with all types of people.  Your refined aesthetic sensibilities enable you to operate in creative or cultural settings. 

Your thinking process works by means of comparing things and finding analogies.  You are objective and somewhat detached from emotional bias and may make an excellent consultant, mediator, or public relations person.  

You insist upon fair play and seek peace and harmony in all situations.  One of your best talents is your ability to see all sides of an issue and to negotiate and bring about compromise and reconciliation. 

You are adaptable and open to hearing different viewpoints on a subject, but this may sometimes result in vacillation and indecision since you cannot decide which viewpoint has the greatest validity.
