The caring, interpersonal type.
Twos are empathetic, sincere, and warm-hearted.
They are friendly, generous, and self-sacrificing,
but can also be sentimental, flattering, and people
pleasing. They are well meaning and driven to
be close to others, but can slip into doing things
for others in order to be needed. They typically
have problems with possessiveness and with acknowledging
their own needs. At their Best: unselfish and
altruistic, they have unconditional love for others.
