Calm under pressure · natural diplomacy · quiet constant loyalty · born mediator · reliable · excellent listener · genuine patience · keeps perspective when others panic.
Passivity · avoids needed conflict · indecision · resists change · low urgency · slides into inertia · needs a push to start · rarely volunteers an opinion.
Listens far more than it talks. Avoids direct confrontation and gives its real view only when asked, sometimes not even then.
Retreats further. Can go passive-aggressive or simply go quiet and disappear from the conflict instead of resolving it.
Thrives in support, mediation, administration, care and teaching. Needs predictable routine and low conflict.
Most common ground with Sanguine (both wet) and Melancholic (both cold). Least in common with Choleric (opposite). In RGP's view it lives vicariously through the success of the people it loves.
Builds deep bonds without losing itself inside them.
Lives entirely through others, never asks to be cared for, and stores silent resentment from always giving.
Conquer inertia and the habit of waiting. Take a stance, say what you really think, and act without waiting for someone else to push.
