Description

Welcomers genuinely like people and being around others. They are able to form new relationships with ease and also maintain strong relationships with old friends. They believe in the inherent goodness of people and will often work to find it in even tough cases.

While they are able to lead, they are sympathetic and cooperative, believing soft leadership brings out the best in people rather than seeking to dominate others. Although they will lend an ear to those who need it, they are more adept at doing the talking when the situation arises.

They are able to mix friend groups more readily than others and can hold their own in most social circumstances.

Caution

With a strong tendency to trust others, Welcomers are vulnerable to manipulation and being taken advantage of. It's important for these people to think critically and assess each situation with the information that they have gathered, taking action to create a safety net to protect themselves. Even if they assume someone is acting in good faith, it never hurts to have a safety net in place should they be wrong. It's beneficial to watch out for low scorers in Straightforwardness, and high scorers in Ambition as they are apt to deceive, and those who score high in Trust may not be equipped to identify it.
