Great! You've got higher than average skills when it comes to relating & managing conflict.

You communicate fairly well under stress more often than not. You are skillful in your relationships, and you probably find that people approach you for advice. However, when so many people admire your people skills, it can be easy to lose sight of your own needs or develop compassion fatigue. You might wish to learn how to better assert yourself in some situations. It's also likely that you would make an effective leader or coach.
