# What does being near the center or edge of Empatyzer’s Similarity Map mean?

On Empatyzer’s Similarity Map, a position near the center of the group can mean you fit in easily with many people, while a position toward the edge can mean you bring a more distinctive perspective.

Neither position is better: being central can make quick cooperation easier, and being at the edge can add a different viewpoint and fresh ideas. Your position describes your profile against the group you selected, so it can differ in another team, and it is not a forecast of how your relationships will go.
