Mediator-Mema

Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better.
Listen to Many People, but Talk to Few
Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, Mediators will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause – spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix.
Mediators often drift into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than any other personality type.
Mediators’ friends and loved ones will come to admire and depend on them for their optimism.
People with the Mediator personality type have no interest in having power over others, and don’t much care for domineering attitudes at all. They prefer a more democratic approach, and work hard to ensure that every voice and perspective is heard.
Mediators combine their visionary nature with their open-mindedness to allow them to see things from unconventional perspectives.
Their shyness keeps them from the podium, but they are the first to lend a helping hand where it’s needed.
 Mediators often take their idealism too far, setting themselves up for disappointment as, again and again, evil things happen in the world.
Mediators are often so focused on the big picture that they forget the forest is made of individual trees.
Avoiding conflict as much as possible, Mediators will put a great deal of time and energy into trying to align their principles and the criticisms into a middle ground that satisfies everybody.
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.
But Mediators aren’t necessarily in a rush to commit – they are, after all, Prospecting (P) types, and are almost always looking to either establish a new relationship or improve an existing one – they need to be sure they’ve found someone compatible.
As a relationship takes hold, people with the Mediator personality type will show themselves to be passionate, hopeless romantics, while still respecting their partners’ independence.
While Mediators are well-meaning, not everyone appreciates what can come across as constantly being told that they need to improve – or, put another way, that they’re not good enough.
Mediators do everything they can to be the ideal partner, staying true to themselves and encouraging their partners to do the same.

The challenge is the many dualities that this type harbors when it comes to being sociable – Mediators crave the depth of mutual human understanding, but tire easily in social situations; they are excellent at reading into others’ feelings and motivations, but are often unwilling to provide others the same insight into themselves – it’s as though Mediators like the idea of human contact, but not the reality of social contact.

Mediators will always need to disappear for a while, removing themselves from others so they can re-center on their own minds and feelings.

Few personality types are as poetic and kind-hearted as Mediators.
