Seeing the Needs and Wants of Others: When you are effective at persuading other people, or knowing how to read signs of them trying to persuade, you catch a glimpse into what they find the most important. In this way, you can understand humanity on a deeper level, and use this information to get ahead in life. When you recognize others’ wants and needs, not only do you better understand them as an individual, but you can become closer. This is what separates positive and negative manipulation.

People are more likely to help those who they see as similar to them, meaning that knowing how to find similarities is a must for interpersonal relations.

You can simply find shared values with them, no matter how different they appear to be on the surface. This allows you access to the skills of lightening tension in tough situations, or getting people to do you favors readily.
