The Guardian
Less common than it feels, because the people who have it never mention it.
In a room of one hundred people, five have this pattern.
Rarity is the share of a published research sample of 300,000+ people with this pattern, not the share of illustro takers.
In brief
You keep your promises quietly, and you keep them for years.
Careful, loyal and slow to give up on anyone. You would rather do a small thing properly than a large thing loudly, and you notice when somebody is struggling before they say so. You do not need the credit, which is why people hand you the things that matter most to them. Your presence is the reassurance.
