The emotional level of the profile is read through two properties. The I-strength is your ability to govern your own feelings: to stay steady when circumstances change, to keep hold of yourself, to be at home in your own emotions. The We-strength is your ability to direct feeling outward: empathy, friendship, the instinct to look after other people and to find the solution that suits everyone. The balance between the two gives one of six emotional types.
Those who need to learn to receive
Three of the types have the I-strength developed. They keep their love close, and their task in life is the opposite of what most people assume: not to give more, but to let themselves be loved. The cold type gives and receives in small, careful measures and spends a lifetime proving to themselves and the world that they are good. The sentimental type warms and cools with the seasons of their life; when they are open they are very open, and when they close, they close completely. The egoistic leader has a large emotional reserve and holds it for themselves; the work of their life is confidence and dignity, and once they have it they are formidable.
Those who need to learn to keep something back
The other three have the We-strength developed. They give their love to the people around them, usually because they learned early that others need help, and their task is to love without forgetting themselves. The self-sacrificing type understands what others want before they say it, and loves in deeds rather than words. The empathetic type trusts easily and brings out the best in other people, sometimes at their own expense. The passionate type loves on a large scale, respects people deeply, and looks for the best in every one of them.
How much you can hold
The six also differ in how much emotion they can carry at once. The cold and self-sacrificing types are the sensitive group: their comfortable range is narrow, strong feeling in either direction is already stressful, and they withdraw from it, so they need to be approached gently. The sentimental and empathetic types are the medium group: they use the whole ordinary range with ease, read other people well, and simply avoid the extremes. The egoistic leader and the passionate types are the strong group: their range has no visible edge, they can swing from one extreme to the other in a moment, and their feelings tend to lead them rather than the other way round. Everyone around them feels it.
Why this matters at home
Every type has an opposite: cold and passionate, sentimental and empathetic, egoistic leader and self-sacrificing. Put two opposites in one relationship and neither is wrong; they simply need different amounts and move at different speeds. What looked like coldness may be a person who loves carefully. What looked like drama may be a person whose feelings are larger than the room. Knowing your own type, and your partner's, is very often the moment an argument you have been having for years finally makes sense.
