I'm probably somewhere in the middle in EQ. On one hand, I'm the ambassador type, easily able to move amongst different social groups and be accepted without pretending to be someone I'm not. And like HK, I'm viewed as a confessor more often than makes me entirely comfortable.
On the other hand, I'm known to broadcast emotional signals at a volume far out of proportion to the intensity at which I'm actually feeling them. Especially anger. That can be... problematic... particularly when you're an intense person to begin with.
Then again, used carefully, being perceived as a homicidal maniac is sometimes a good way to cut through a whole mess of red tape. My DW, whose most forceful voice can barely be heard across the room, occasionally sics me on difficult people.
Meanwhile, I've been teaching her how to be more assertive, she's been teaching me to be less reactive, so we've been pretty good for each other in EQ terms.
