By proximity, they can tune into the emotional state of others.
They are often unaware of their own intuitive power.
"From infancy, the purely emotional Empath strength intuits the world around them. They feel so intensely about everything that others can be confused by the depth and range of their expression - from uncontrollable laughter to inconsolable tears; sometimes both at once. Empath responds quickly and personally to all and environment. For others it can be disconcerting, but for them emotionality is the throne upon which their one-of-a-kind intellect sits. When you know answers but can't explain how, cannibalistic self-doubt can gnaw and weaken confidence. Empaths often doubt their own emotion wisdom and try to be "logical" instead. And for these emotion-intellects it is tantamount to swimming against their own nature. Linear, step-by-step thinking must be taught to an Empath. In school, gold stars of former glory grades often turn into good grief by junior high. This is usually when their academic confidence plummets. Doubt can clip their potential's wings before they even attempt flight and before they test their unique intellectual capabilities. An Empath is often in the dark about their innate gifts."

These gentle individuals feel successful when they encourage others to be successful.
They are natural-born teachers and instructors.
"Uniquely, Empath is not motivated by rewards of status, remuneration, or recognition. Instead, their inspiration comes from contributing to the overall success of group efforts or the success of individuals. They're the benevolent "King-makers," those unselfish magnanimous ones who unearth potential in others and encourage greatness to bloom. Empath may not seek leadership roles, but many are seated close to top dog chairs in trusted advisor or support positions. They are trusted because of their highly-developed sense of committed team work. Empath works for and with people, harvesting self-fulfillment from the now of personal interactions. From companies they earn a paycheque; from people they earn self-confirmation. With their seeming determination to avoid applause, accolade, and recognition, Empath is frequently found under umbrellas of untried-genius. Though umbrella'd anonymity is their choice and preference, such untried genius is both loss and waste for the corporation."

Their emotions bubble over easily and unexpectedly.
They may confuse being used with being needed.
"Ranked among the most powerful of the 14 core ANSIR® Styles, Empath is endowed with an incredible gift: emotion-acuity that is second-to-none. This innate skill and ability are necessary as their purpose and message can alter man, world and future upon delivery. They are purely emotional beings. Most do not realize how powerful they are, or how destructive they can be. As children, when teased and/or taunted for being a cry baby, Empath begins to mask their feelings. When they begin to speak, they may mask their thoughts as well. Before they talked, they knew more or less what others were thinking and wanting, and often responded before words were spoken. When they learn to speak, they also learn what "good," "bad" and "worst" feels like. Good is when others like what they say; bad is when they don't; and worst is when others get angry. It shakes their faith in their ability to understand, when loved and trusted others tell them with words what they feel is not right. They become reactionary chameleons, expert at fitting themselves into whatever mood-mold pleases and, thus, beginning what will become an Empath trait, 'tell them what they want to hear.'"
