Ability to Handle: 10%
You don't engage in scheming; you communicate openly and directly with others. In the workplace, this straightforwardness may leave you vulnerable, as some may exploit your kindness and honesty for their own purposes, turning you into a tool for malicious intents. Once you realize you've been used, you tend to confront the person directly, showing a weaker ability to guard against schemers. It's easy for you to be hurt again by ambiguous words, so it's advisable to be more cautious in dealing with others.

You prefer to work independently and generally don't engage in much social interaction outside of work-related matters. To others, you might seem unique and less approachable. You have a broad outlook and usually don't engage in scheming or have much defensive behavior. When you realize someone is scheming against you, you might prefer to retreat rather than confront.
