You are a good listener. The person who talks to you gets a positive impression about you and feels that you have understood whatever he/she wanted to convey.

This was my result:

You Are a Great Listener: You are the perfect person to talk to.
You are patient, empathetic, and encouraging.

You provide subtle, but important, feedback.
You let people say everything that needs to be said before you weigh in.

Your Result:

You think horoscopes and astrology are totally bunk

You're a logical person who puts zero stock in horoscopes and astrology. You usually scoff when people bring up such superstitions.
