• You are a great listener, and you keep your cool in stressful situations. You are willing to stay on the phone longer than might be necessary. If someone is frustrated, you don’t escape with them.

• You are a natural problem-solver. You don’t have to see things in black and white. You not only love the challenge of ambiguity, you thrive on it.
