Mediator personality types are true idealists, always looking for the best in the worst of people and events and finding ways to make situations better. Although they may seem calm, introverted or even shy, their inner fire and passion can shine through. At only 4% of the population, they are often misunderstood, but when they find like-minded people, the harmony between them can be a source of joy and inspiration.
The Mediators are guided by their principles, not by logic, hot-headedness or practicality. When deciding how to act, they are guided by honor, beauty, morality, and goodness, and are guided by pure intentions, not rewards or punishments. Mediator personality types pride themselves on such qualities, and they really should, but not everyone understands the driving force behind these feelings, which can leave them in isolation.
We know who we are, but we don't know who we can be.
In a good situation, these qualities enable the Mediator to communicate with others on a deep level, to use metaphors and allusions with ease, to understand and create symbols to share ideas. This straightforward style of communication lends itself well to creative work, and it's no wonder that so many famous Mediators are poets, writers and actors. Understanding oneself and one's surroundings is essential for the Mediator, and they express these ideas by projecting themselves into their work.
Their linguistic skills are not limited to their mother tongue; they have a talent for learning a second (or even third!) language. languages. Their ability to communicate is also perfectly combined with a desire to harmonize and help them move forward once they have found their purpose.
Listen to many, speak to few
Unlike the more sociable personality types, their attention is focused on very few people for one reason: distraction is too draining, and they can even get frustrated with too many bad things in the world that they can't do anything about. This is a sad scenario for the Mediator's friends, who need the Mediator to show an optimistic and positive side.
If left unattended, Mediators can be so consumed with the pursuit of the good that they lose sight of the necessary day-to-day chores. They are often contemplative and enjoy hypothesizing and philosophizing more than any other personality type. If left unchecked, Mediators may reduce human contact and retreat into a shell, which may require friends and partners to work very hard to bring them back into the real world.
Fortunately, the emotions, creativity, altruism, and idealism of Mediators are like spring flowers, always rewarding themselves and their loved ones from time to time, not through logic and practicality, but through a worldview that is always inspired by compassion, kindness, and goodness.
