A Word That Defines Me

I would say that the word that best defines me is perceptive.


per·cep·tive /pərˈsɛptɪv/ [per-sep-tiv]
–adjective
1.having or showing keenness of insight, understanding, or intuition: a perceptive analysis of the problems involved.
2. having the power or faculty of perceiving.
3.of, pertaining to, or showing perception.


I chose this word because I think I'm pretty good at understanding what people are feeling without necessarily going though the same experience. For some of my friends, I can kind of predict what they're thinking or what they're going to say or do.

* I have to admit that this assignment was kind of hard. I agree with a lot of people who said that there simply isn't just one word that describes them..but I tried to choose a word regardless.

  1. Being perceptive is both a gift and a curse. Learning the deepest secrets of a person through your unique insights also makes you carry the burden of their aspirations and failures.
