About Negotiators
Negotiators are mainly driven by estrogen, which is the hormone that
promotes the development and maintenance of female characteristics
and is associated with the YIN energy in Feng Shui.
Negotiators express contextual, holistic, and long-term thinking, as well as linguistic skills, agreeableness, cooperation, intuition, empathy, and nurturing. Generosity and trust, the drive to make social attachments, heightened memory for emotional experiences, keen imagination, and mental flexibility are other key traits. Oxytocin, closely related to estrogen, is also associated with several pro-social Negotiator traits, including the ability to read emotions in others.
Negotiators instinctively know what others are thinking and feeling. They effortlessly intuit someone’s feelings by observing facial expressions, physical gestures, and tone of voice. Their interest in the humanness of others also extends to themselves, making them highly introspective and self-analytical. These men and women enjoy diving deep and journeying into their thoughts.
Not only do Negotiators connect with most types on a psychological level, but they also have a strong ability to remain mentally flexible. They deftly weigh many variables and consider all the options
when it comes to decision-making. They see things holistically in
a contextual manner, rather than linearly. Comfortable with ambiguity, Negotiators can be highly intuitive and creative, and they like to theorize. They are known for their keen ability to find
just the right words to say. Because of this, alongside their socially agreeable and accommodating nature, their compassion, and patience — the Negotiator can be very friendly, diplomatic, and authentic.
However, Negotiators can sometimes be overly ambiguous, and they may appear wishy-washy to the point of shadiness. They dislike confrontation, conflict, aggression, and competition. They see all possibilities. And rather than taking action, they can get bogged down in analysis and indecisiveness. Their compulsion to dissect and overanalyze situations can become invasive and detrimental to relationships.
Like Directors, this personality type is not gender-specific; Negotiators pair well with Directors, whose decisiveness complements their indecisiveness, among many other complementary traits.
