Of course, you then have to take into account what attributes people value when hiring, and if (as seems probable) employers prefer the 'agentic' attributes to the 'communal' ones, then you still have a problem.

Your problem is then either a) people should be dishonest when describing communal people or b) communal people don't have useful skills.
