Mediator Strengths And Weaknesses

Personality test
I recently did a personality test the results showed that I was a “mediator”. A mediator is seen as an optimist, they always try and look for good within situations and people. They are seen as quiet and reserved and sometimes even shy. However, they have a passion which is can truly shine. A mediator is tend to be misunderstood but when they find people who are similar to them they click instantly.
There are many strengths of this personality. The first strengths is that they are idealistic they are tough when it comes to hardship. However, this can be an issue when counselling because they can become too idealistic and hinder the therapeutic relationship. For example, if a client doesn’t progress with the counselling sessions
