For The Uplifters
The Uplifters are the academic types. They derive happiness from gaining and sharing knowledge. Their nature is to naturally uplift people by giving and receiving knowledge, in the form of being a teacher, student, or healer.
The Uplifter Personality Types
Uplifters are considered to be born with divine qualities, which are predominantly sattvic in nature. The characteristics of sattvic people are explained by Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita:
“Fearlessness, purity of heart, perseverance in knowledge and devotion, charity, control of external senses, sacrifice, study of the Vedas, austerity, straightforwardness, non-violence, truthfulness, lack of anger, detachment, composure of mind, absence of malice, compassion to other beings, absence of lust, soft-heartedness, modesty, steadiness, vigor, tolerance, fortitude, cleanliness, absence of enmity, absence of excessive self-esteem - these belong to one born with divine qualities.”

"I have never read a description so accurate about my personality."
"Reflecting on a conversation from last year, a friend described me as a mirror person. Initially, I wondered if being a mirror meant lacking depth behind a veneer of kindness. It left me questioning myself. Reading about my svabhāva type and the qualities of a deer, I feel a sense of alignment with my own nature. Realizing that being a mirror person is not a flaw but a strength, akin to the healing qualities of these gentle creatures, is truly enlightening. It's as if I've discovered a superpower within myself—a gift to not only understand others but to heal and support them along their journey."
