The Realist Your feet stay planted even when everyone else floats dreamily by. You see the world as it is, warts and wonders alike, and make practical choices that keep wheels turning. Calm in turbulence, you’re the friend who remembers umbrellas and chargers. While some chase the grand vision, you secure the foundation so dreams can stand. Sensible does not mean dull — it means reliably ready for whatever comes next.
The Empath Your radar for feelings could spot a sigh in a hurricane, and you respond with warmth that melts tension like butter on toast. Conversations with you feel like weighted blankets — supportive, comforting, human. Plans matter, sure, but never more than people. You believe shared laughter heals faster than any remedy. When you step into a room, the emotional Wi-Fi instantly gets stronger.
The Explorer Give you a compass — or better yet, let’s improvise one — and you’re off toward whatever horizon glimmers. Curiosity pulls you like gravity; routine only exists to be reinvented. You thrive on fresh perspectives, returning with anecdotes that turn dinner tables into campfires. Risk whispers "maybe", you answer "why not". Life, to you, is best served with side quests.
