🌸 The Diplomats: The Empathetic Souls Who See the Best in Everyone
<p>If Analysts are the architects of logic, then Diplomats are the architects of relationships. They’re the ones who want to know not just what you’re thinking, but how you’re feeling.</p><p><br/></p><p>Diplomats are all about connection and empathy, but they don’t see the world through rose-colored glasses — they see it through a lens of possibility. They believe in the potential for growth and change, but that doesn’t mean they let everyone off the hook.</p><p>They might be idealists, but they’re also realists when it comes to people. They definitely don’t tolerate toxic behavior or people who just take, take, take. A Diplomat won’t hesitate to put up boundaries if they sense someone is draining them or not worth their time.</p><p>They may not always be the boldest warriors in the fight, but when they do stand up for others (or themselves), they do it from a place of authenticity and purpose, not because they’re trying to please anyone.</p><p>Here’s how they break it down:</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/7de05a7a-8fd9-4a3a-9c11-d350fd2812f1.jpeg"/></p><p>INFJs (The Advocate) are the quiet visionaries, but they’ll cut someone out of their life faster than you can say "emotional intelligence" if they don’t vibe with them.</p><br/><p>ENFJs (The Protagonist) can be natural leaders, but don’t mistake that for passivity. If you cross them or go against their values, they’ll stand firm — no problem.</p><p>INFPs (The Mediator) might be dreamers, but they know when to fight for their values and refuse to let anyone compromise their integrity.</p><p>ENFPs (The Campaigner) may be super friendly, but if someone isn’t authentic or just taking advantage of their energy, they’ll be the first to hit the eject button.</p><p><br/></p><p>🎯 Key Traits of Diplomats (Updated)</p><p><br/></p><p>Empathetic, but Not a Push-Over – Diplomats are emotionally attuned, but they won’t let anyone use their kindness as a doormat. They’re selective about who they trust, and their loyalty is earned, not given freely.</p><p><br/></p><p>Idealistic with Boundaries – They dream big, but they don’t waste energy on people who aren’t worth it. Diplomats will hold people to higher standards, and if you don’t meet them? Well, they’ll be polite — but distance themselves.</p><p><br/></p><p>Relational, Not Reliant – While they’re fantastic at connecting others, they don’t depend on anyone to feel whole. They’re independent in their thinking and won’t let their desire</p><p> to help become a burden.</p><p><br/></p><p>💠What They’re Great At</p><p><br/></p><p>Diplomats thrive in roles where they can make a difference — whether that’s as a teacher, counselor, artist, or community leader. They have an intuitive understanding of human nature, which makes them fantastic in roles where they can help others grow, develop, and understand themselves better.</p><p>They excel in group dynamics, fostering harmony and making people feel seen and heard. They are, without a doubt, the heart of any team or group, always trying to lift people up and unite them in a common goal.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>⚡ The Downside</p><p><br/></p><p>As idealistic as they are, Diplomats can sometimes get caught in their own heads and feel the weight of the world’s problems on their shoulders. When things don’t go as planned or people don’t live up to their expectations, they can become disillusioned or feel burned out.</p><p>Because they care so much about others, they might also struggle to set healthy boundaries — always prioritizing the needs of others before their own. Sometimes, this leads to emotional exhaustion, especially when they give more than they have to give.</p><p>Ohhh am really excited to share my thoughts on the mbti series plus I was able to find my personality and grow my strengths (am an infj🥲 ) so let me know if your mbti hasn't been listed or which you think you are down in the comments 👇 </p><p>THANKS FOR READING 🙇</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.

A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
