If you loved the wolf in the Intermarché advert, you possess these three personality traits, according to this psychologist.

  1. A highly developed emotional empathy

The first striking element of this advertisement is the absence of words. Everything is conveyed through looks, gestures, and silences. If you were deeply moved, it’s probably because you’re very receptive to non-verbal communication. You pick up on emotions where others miss them.

This type of empathy allows you to instinctively feel what the other person is going through, without needing explanations. You don’t see a frightening animal; you perceive loneliness, an awkward attempt at connection. In everyday life, this often makes you the person who “senses” when something is wrong, even when everyone else is pretending everything is fine. This  deep emotional sensitivity  is often a real strength in relationships.

  1. A particular sensitivity to rejection and exclusion

Why does this wolf affect us so deeply? Because he is ostracized. He inspires fear despite himself, he is judged before he has even had a chance to show his true self. If this story resonates strongly with you, it may be because it echoes a personal experience.
