You have to be with people. This extends into the need to gain popularity, achieve social recognition and influence those people around you. The "bottom-line" is a strong people orientation.
You have a strong feeling of optimism, considered favorably by most people around you. Your perception is that the bottle is half-full rather than half-empty.
Many different factors determine the communication styles with which you are most comfortable.

In general, human beings are defined by their needs and individuals by their wants. Your emotional wants are especially important when establishing with whom you are compatible. While answering the Relationship Questionnaire you established a pattern of basic, subconscious wants. This section of the report was produced by analyzing those patterns. Our wants change as we mature and obtain our life goals. You may find it valuable to revisit this section periodically to see how your wants have changed.
You may want:
Time to react to new ideas and sudden change.
A support system to help you get things done.
Social recognition of your accomplishments.
Acceptance in a variety of groups.
Recognition of skills and ability.
Activities involving contact with many people.
Time and opportunity to weigh pros and cons of decisions.
Protection or insulation from aggression or confrontation.
Peace and harmony.
Security for now, and in the future.
Popularity.
You are a natural communicator. You love to talk, offer jokes and make sure that everyone is having a good time. This trait is especially evident at functions and outings.
You show sympathy to the feelings and needs of others. Your natural empathy style may draw others to you.
You can generate enthusiasm in yourself and in other people. Your enthusiasm, often contagious, involves many people in a social activity who might not ordinarily become involved.
You have a natural, outgoing style that some have labeled as the "natural salesperson." You are generally likable, talkative and socially assertive. Your primary intent is convincing or persuading people.
One of your great strengths is your ability to communicate and talk readily. Since all strengths may be overused at times, you may sometimes talk too much.
Interesting to say the least. Gotta love it.
