The Distance

All three channels read low: you're not running a constant read on what other people are experiencing, their trouble doesn't reliably move you, and their mood doesn't become yours. The fair reading of that is not coldness — it's that the emotional channel isn't always on. People in this position are unusually steady when everyone around them isn't, and they're the ones who can stay in a room where something has gone badly wrong and still think clearly; in medicine, emergency work and negotiation that isn't a deficit, it's the job. The honest cost is that you have to be told things in words. What other people pick up from the air, you find out when someone says it — and when nobody says it, you miss it, which reads as indifference to anyone who assumed you already knew. One caveat worth keeping: this is also where the test puts you when it learned nothing, so if you answered quickly without reading, the result is about the answering.
