Diplomatic

An employment related test showed my leadership type as diplomatic, this test is surprisingly accurate into a deep extend.

What is diplomatic? In my sarcastic way of description, it is the ultimate con man being used and trust in its best. It is the contact interface and first line defense of a system.

What differs a con and a diplo is that con will trick both inward and outward in order to get benefit for itself, and a diplo will only trick outward if it benefit inwards. Sad truth about a diplo is that they have to be confidence of what it represent all the time for and weakness they shown might risk what's on their back. For example, in country to country scale diplomatic, any sign of nervous shown on a diplo's face might cause button press or troops deployed. For any wild guess, even non rational ones, might fit in to description creating huge chaos.

The only facial expression that they can ever display is a perfect smile, not too much nor less. A good diplo is one that can override all personal feelings but can still precept feeling of other for all processing and calculation in a real time situation in order to comprehend the real deal of what they be facing.

Without understanding of others, a meeting would just be like talking to a wall or command input to a frozen computer, no idea if the command will be processed or accepted at all. No facial expression, and always doubtful on anything, even itself, for peace and safety.

Most important of all is that a diplo duty is to deal with large scale interactions which they are unable to cause or stop. That's why a consulate's car is considered land of that consulate and authorities won't ticket such car because it is intrusion of another country, which could mean war.

What would you do if a non US cop, not Interpol either, stop you in US land and give you a ticket that you have to pay to that non US country?

P.S. A spy is whom trick inward to benefit outward. For trustful and ability approved personnel, simple busting is good enough for anyone to judge. Worse when diplo have tried to save face of all and failed. It doesn't and haven't done anything, when it be monitored by every party already.
