Healers present a calm and serene face to the world, and can seem shy, even distant around others. But inside they're anything but serene, having a capacity for personal caring rarely found in the other types. Healers care deeply about the inner life of a few special persons,or about a favorite cause in the world at large. And their great passion is to heal the conflicts that trouble individuals, or that divide groups, and thus to bring wholeness, or health, to themselves, their loved ones, and their community.
Healers have a profound sense of idealism that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. They conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place, full of wondrous possibilities and potential goods. In fact, to understand Healers, we must understand that their deep commitment to the positive and the good is almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. Set off from the rest of humanity by their privacy and scarcity, Healers can often feel even more isolated in the purity of their idealism.
Also, Healers might well feel a sense of separation because of their often misunderstood childhood.
Healers live a fantasy-filled childhood-they are the prince or princess of fairy tales-an attitude which, sadly, is frowned upon, or even punished, by many parents. With parents who want them to get their head out of the clouds, Healers begin to believe they are bad to be so fanciful, so dreamy, and can come to see themselves as ugly ducklings. In truth, they are quite OK just as they are, only different from most others-swans reared in a family of ducks.
At work, Healers are adaptable, welcome new ideas and new information, are patient with complicated situations, but impatient with routine details. Healers are keenly aware of people and their feelings, and relate well with most others. Because of their deep-seated reserve, however, they can work quite happily alone. When making decisions, Healers follow their heart not their head, which means they can make errors of fact, but seldom of feeling. They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, like the other Idealists, a remarkable facility with language. They have a gift for interpreting stories, as well as for creating them, and thus often write in lyric, poetic fashion. Frequently they hear a call to go forth into the world and help others, a call they seem ready to answer, even if they must sacrifice their own comfort.
Love and relationships:
One of the rarest of the types, Healers can be both extremely romantic and extremely independent.
They are likely to want a mate who won't shrink from their expansive imagination.
They are often attracted to those whom others have overlooked,
given the Healers' rare ability to see the positive qualities that lie beneath the surface.[2]
In romantic relationships, Healers generally seek mates who, like themselves, have a highly developed inner life.
An ideal mate must be open to the Healers' expressions of unique ideas.
Healers may need long periods of privacy, followed by periods of intense intimacy,
so they are best suited to a partner who can adapt to these changing needs.[2]
Generally thoughtful and considerate, Healers are good listeners and put people at ease.
Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they are deeply caring and genuinely interested in understanding people.
This sincerity is sensed by others, making Healers valued friends and confidants.
They do not like conflict and go to great lengths to avoid it. In conflict situations,
they place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on how the conflict makes people feel,
a trait that can make them appear irrational and illogical.[3] In such situations,
Healers may benefit from stepping out of the situation temporarily so they can reflect and replenish their reserves.
