I normally don't put much stock in these personality inventory things, but I feel like this one is pretty on.
Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.
How to Get Along with Me:
-Be independent, not clingy.
-Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
-I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
-Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
-Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
-If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
-don't come on like a bulldozer.
-Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

-being calm in a crisis
