Relating Talents are contained in the themes used to effectively create, develop and sustain relationships. These themes prompt how a person reaches out to others and responds to those who reach out to him. Relating talents differentiate how someone naturally forms personal relationships as well as demonstrating the unique means by which he creates new relationships and the pattern chosen for maintaining them.

Empathy: Someone with Empathy can understand the emotions another person is experiencing, even though he doesn’t automatically agree with those feelings. At the same time, while he doesn’t become mired in the frustrations, anger or sadness of another person, by using his “emotional radar” the empathic individual can interpret the shifting moods of someone moment by moment.

Harmony: Peacemakers, people with Harmony, turn the attention away from themselves and onto others. Often those with Harmony are especially sensitive to the tones of people’s voices, their moods and the atmosphere in which they find themselves. Because little is to be gained from disagreement, it must be held to a minimum.

Includer: Inclusiveness is a philosophy of life. Making people feel that they belong is important, because everyone will benefit from the support of others.
