Beware the (only) highly empathetic too, while you're at it.

Get the right (wrong) combination and you have:

Someone who can understand and read the changes they are engendering in others, adjust manipulation in real time, feel terrible about it, but be able to justify it to themselves as improving the lot of others if they genuinely lack the intelligence to comprehend the whole "you can lead a horse to water but not make it drink" adage.

Self-awareness is tragically never a guarantee; much less using it to take responsibility for shortcomings.
