Developmental feedback and support can be misinterpreted when delivered

Type Twos bring exceptional interpersonal skills to any group. Their ability to listen and respond with compassion can make them excellent team members, leaders, and confidants. Their nurturing nature often creates a supportive and encouraging work environment. 

 The desire to be needed can sometimes lead Twos to overextend themselves and neglect their own needs. They may become resentful if they feel their efforts are not acknowledged. Difficulty in setting boundaries can lead to burnout and emotional exhaustion. 

However, due to their natural empathy and sensitivity, they may experience the following limitations as a result of their personality:

• They may need approval and guidance from their peers.
• They may ignore their own needs in favor of serving others.
• They might be easily offended by feedback or criticisms.
• They might be seen as overpowering or overbearing.

 Type Twos often find fulfillment in careers where their nurturing presence can be used to support and uplift others. Some ideal careers for Type Twos might include:

• Healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors, therapists)
• Social Workers or Counselors
• Human Resources Specialists
• Teachers or Childcare Workers
