Since you make decisions by using your personal values, you are usually very sympathetic and concerned for other people's well-being. You are usually quite generous and warm, and are very observant about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need. You may not be the best advice-givers in the world, because you dislike theory and future-planning, but you are great for giving practical care.
