Perceives information about objects' potential energy — for example, information about the physical and mental abilities and potential of a person. This perception implies the ability to understand the structure of objects and phenomena and grasp their inner substance.
This element determines a person's ability or inability to see the real potential energy of one's surroundings. -link
