Alright, the power I'm thinking of is the ability I will call "Perfect Understanding". This power allows the user to fully comprehend the "soul", or rather, "essence" of another human being after being with them for at least 10 minutes, one hour at most. For this power to function, the user must make basic question that will get an answer back, and even though it may be a short answer or a false one, the user will get an instantaneous reponse in their brain, getting the actual full answer, context on why it's important and relevant instances (From the perspective of the one being questioned) of when it was used. Not answering will result in this power failing. Furthermore, it is necessary to know the other person's full name and date of birth before making any other question, again, they must be real on the eyes of the one being questioned.
This power will allow for anyone that is able to make the right questions and piece together the big chunks of personal history build a full cronology and "character sheet" full of useful information.
This way, convincing another and general manipulation is made easier to a ridiculous extent, again, to they who is able to organize said information.
Assuming I would be able to use such a limited power:
This information would allow anyone to raise up and get anything they wanted, just understanding another gives you the chance to predict or move around certain behaviors. I would use it to surely and passionately move up in the world, think something akin to political stuff, since I would be able to convince people I'm the best choice, only because I "understand" everything around me.
So, I would try to become a benevolent ruler, I have no reasons to hide or control, only to rule for no one but myself in mind. If I can understand something might be wrong, then I can't keep quiet and sit hoping for things to get better.
