You Are a Grace!

You are a Grace -- "I need to understand the world."

Graces have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.

How to Get Along with Me

• Be independent, not clingy
• Speak in a straightforward and brief manner
• I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts
• Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable
• Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity
• If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place
• Don't come on like a bulldozer
• Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy

What I Like About Being a Grace

• Standing back and viewing life objectively
  
• Coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
  
• My sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
  
• Not being caught up in material possessions and status
  
• Being calm in a crisis
  

What's Hard About Being a Grace

• Being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
• Feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
• Being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
• Watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

Graces as Children Often

• Spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
• Have a few special friends rather than many
• Are very bright and curious and do well in school
• Have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
• Watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
• Assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
• Are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
• Feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

Graces as Parents

• Are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
• Are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
