You intuitively understand the ins and outs of politicking.

You will be generally respected, even by your opponents.

Career-wise, you will be better at weathering storms and bouncing back than the average person. There are no guarantees of your survival or return, but you will be more skilled in doing so, and circumstances will generally be in your favor after a period of hardship.

You are excellent at getting a "read" on people, whether individuals, groups, or entire demographics.

Your planning skills will be greatly increased. Expect most plans you make and execute to largely go your way, or at least in a way that is favorable to you. Just make sure you consider all potential factors.

Making and sustaining alliances becomes easier for you.

You are an excellent negotiator and very good at building consensus.

Manipulating the media comes easier to you than most people.
