Warmth

How you balance other people's feelings against plain talk and your own view.

Score band
Below 40

Low: Candid, tough-minded

You say what you think and expect others to do the same. You care about people, but you tend to show it through honesty and practical help more than reassurance. In a disagreement you focus on what is right rather than what keeps the peace, which makes you a useful voice when a group is drifting. Some people may find you blunt at first. A little extra softness in how you deliver hard news usually helps your point land.

40 to 60

Balanced: Somewhere in between

You can be kind and you can be firm, and you usually sense which one a moment needs. You notice how others feel without being ruled by it, and you are willing to push back when something matters to you. Friends may come to you both for comfort and for a straight answer. On tired days you might lean too far one way, either going along to keep things easy or getting sharper than you meant.

Above 60

High: Caring, accommodating

You notice how other people are feeling, often before they say anything, and you naturally try to make things easier for them. People tend to trust you quickly and feel at ease around you. You prefer cooperation to competition and will often set your own preferences aside to keep the peace. That generosity is a real strength. Just check that you are not saying yes so often that your own needs quietly go missing.
