or invisible, adrift in a world that doesn’t seem to appreciate the traits that

make them unique.

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is

strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.

J. R. R. TOLKIEN

The Gift of Empathy

Mediators share a sincere curiosity about the depths of human nature.

Introspective to the core, they’re exquisitely attuned to their own thoughts and

feelings, but they yearn to understand the people around them as well.

Mediators are compassionate and nonjudgmental, always willing to hear

another person’s story. When someone opens up to them or turns to them for

comfort, they feel honored to listen and be of help.

For Mediators, an ideal relationship of any kind is one in which both people

feel comfortable sharing not just their wildest hopes and dreams but also

their secret fears and vulnerabilities.

Empathy is among this personality type’s greatest gifts, but at times it can be a

liability. The troubles of the world weigh heavily on Mediators’ shoulders, and

these personalities can be vulnerable to internalizing other people’s negative

moods or mindsets. Unless they learn to set boundaries, Mediators may feel

overwhelmed by just how many wrongs there are that need to be set right.

Speaking Their Truth

Few things make Mediators more uneasy than pretending to be someone they

aren’t. With their sensitivity and their commitment to authenticity, people with

this personality type tend to crave opportunities for creative self-expression. It

comes as no surprise, then, that many famous Mediators are poets, writers,

actors, and artists. They can’t help but muse about the meaning and purpose

of life, dreaming up all sorts of stories, ideas, and possibilities along the way.

Mediators have a talent for self-expression. They may reveal their innermost

thoughts and secrets through metaphors and Bctional characters.

Through these imaginative landscapes, Mediators can explore their own inner

nature as well as their place in the world. While this is a beautiful trait, these

personalities sometimes show a tendency to daydream and fantasize rather

than take action. To avoid feeling frustrated, unful\lled, or incapable,

Mediators need to make sure that they take steps to turn their dreams and

ideas into reality.

In Search of a Calling
People with this personality type tend to feel directionless or stuck until they

connect with a sense of purpose for their lives. For many Mediators, this

purpose has something to do with uplifting others and their ability to feel

other people’s su]ering as if it were their own. While Mediators want to help

everyone, they need to focus their energy and e]orts – otherwise, they can

end up exhausted.

Fortunately, like ^owers in the spring, Mediators’ creativity and idealism can

bloom even after the darkest of seasons. Although they know the world will

never be perfect, Mediators still care about making it better however they can.

This quiet belief in doing the right thing may explain why these personalities so

often inspire compassion, kindness, and beauty wherever they go.
