Getting to Know Myself: Part 2

Jalál (Glory), 14 ‘Núr (Light) 174 Badi - Saturday, June 17, 2017 CE

See "Getting to Know Myself: Part 1" 

On Friday, June 16, I took notes on I made an entry in "Melting Snow"  about the Mediator Personality type and I took those note after reading the information on 16Personalities  . In that entry, I took the notes while reading two of the eight sections under Explore Your Type, so the notes in "Getting to Know Myself: Part 1"  cover only Part 1. Introduction and Part 2. Strengths & Weaknesses. This afternoon, I am going to read Part 3. Romantic Relationship and Part 4. Friendships and then if I have time maybe one or two more of the eight sections.

Notes on Mediator Relationships

"Mediators share a sincere belief in the idea of relationships – that two people can come together and make each other better and happier than they were alone, and they will take great efforts to show support and affection in order to make this ideal a reality."1

Love all, trust few, and do no wrong
          Prospecting (P) types
It's better 3 hours too soon then 1 minutes too late

Mediator Friendships

"Even as friendships grow stronger and deeper, and friends are lulled into a sense of mutual understanding, Mediators’ enigmatic qualities will never truly vanish."2

Patience can be an issue
          Mediators have to re-center away from the crowd for a while

Mediator Parents

"Mediators never stop encouraging their children to learn and grow, and they consider it their duty to inspire and motivate them, both by using their sensitivity and intuition to speak in their children’s language and by leading the way themselves."3

A little doubt is the bacon of the wise

Mediator Careers

"Most any cause, idea, or field can benefit from the artful and natural expression that Mediators bring to the table, and Mediators have their pick of the world in choosing who they work with."4

Authors and poets

Mediators in the workplace

Take their work personally
Take their profession personally

Mediator Personality - Conclusion

Creativity important
Poetic and kind-hearted.

This is it for the Mediator Personality information. There is no that that this is my personality type, and I've been this type all my life. This may explain some of the issues I've had in the past. I found the first two sections of this more interesting then the last six, but that could be because I'm 70 years old and some of the last few items aren't all that interesting to me. I don't think I'll go for the premium profile on the 16Personalities website.
