Emotional guru. Well, yeah. But it's exhausting. Most people take you for granted and never ask you if you are ok.

I got that too, but I'm pretty sure my result should have been "overstimulated, hungry, tired toddler" instead! XD

I'm British. What's this concept of "cutting in line" rather than just joining a queue at the end??

Balanced Thinker Logic sits in the driver’s seat while feelings ride s*****n, and the road trip is mostly smooth. You prefer solutions and structure, yet you’re not tone-deaf to emotion, maybe a bit selective about when to dig deep. Small talk is fine, and meaningful talk is planned. Friends rely on your spreadsheets and steady vibes. You’re proof that brains and heartbeats can keep the same rhythm. I mean they nailed the spreadsheets part

Emotionally aware! Although I second guess myself a lot and sometimes have to apologize for being too blunt or sarcastic. Also, as I get older, I just don't care as much about what others think and fail to be sensitive. Looking at it realistically, I'm a mixed bag, but generally aware.

"Emotionally Aware You’re tuned in and thoughtful, noticing both your own feelings and everyone else’s without letting them rule the roost. Reflection is your co-pilot: you pause, consider, then act with considerate clarity. Occasional overthinking happens, but you catch it before it spirals. People appreciate your knack for asking the right follow-up question. Emotional growth feels less like homework and more like a hobby."

Awww. Thank you BP. I'm apparently an Emotional Guru... "You read emotional cues like others read headlines. Calm yet engaged, you listen first, speak wisely, and leave people feeling understood rather than sized up. Challenges are chances to practice compassion, and your empathy radar rarely glitches. You balance heart and head effortlessly, sprinkling humor when tension rises. Friends describe you as the human version of a warm beverage on a rainy day."

Boy, do I have *them* fooled! (Honestly, I only took this because recently I've seen so many things talking about 'emotional intelligence' and I wanted to see just what they were referring to.)

Sensitive observer. "You internalize, analyze, and empathize to the moon and back, though speaking up can feel like stepping on thin ice. With a bit more confidence, your gentle insight could light up rooms." That assumes that the reason I don't get involved with upset colleagues/discussions/ etc is lack of confidence. Nope. I honestly just don't care most of the time. As for emphathizing... Nope. Again, mostly I do not care and would prefer to ignore than to get involved.
