These people value teamwork. They actively care for the well-being of the group over their immediate self-interest and will actively contribute to group success and harmony. This is true in both their professional and personal lives.
In love, these people are likely tolerant and accepting of their partners—though it may be hard for their partners to get a whole sense of who they are as they're prone to suppressing truths that may create conflict.
