The Four Types Print E-mail

At it’s most basic level the Human Design System shows us that there are just four distinct types of human beings.

There are two energy types – The Manifestor and The Generator (there is also a combination called the Manifesting Generator which is seen as a sub-section of the Generator category because of the shared Strategy- see later).

There are two non-energy types – The Projector and The Reflector.


The Manifestor
A surprisingly small fraction of the world population (only 8%) are manifestors.
In the bodygraph a manifestor's throat centre will be connected by a channel(s) to at least one of the body's 'motor' centres (except the Sacral), i.e. connection must be directly or indirectly to the root, the heart or the solar plexus. The fourth motor, the sacral, has to be open otherwise the person is a generator.

Manifestors are pure energy beings. They are specifically designed not to be controlled by anyone. They are the only true initiators. They simply act or put things directly into action. But they need to inform those who will be affected by their actions what they are about to do before they act. When they act without informing, they meet resistance because the people involved in the consequences of their actions can feel ignored, or feel like they have been run over by a lorry! As a result Manifestors can end up feeling very cut off from people.

Predominant negative feeling: Anger

Strategy: Inform before acting

The Generator
The majority of the population (about 70%) are generators. All generators have a defined sacral centre. They are designed to respond to life. Unlike manifestors they have no idea of where they are going until they respond. Therefore they have to wait until life initiates them first. Generators are potentially the most powerful of all the types, but unless they understand how they work, they are the most frustrated people alive. They only know what is right for them to do or say by their response to something. Their response comes from deep in their abdomen and is most often in non-verbal sounds: "unun", "ahunh", "mmmmm", “ahhhhhh" etc. If they initiate, they often get involved in the wrong things, meet resistance, get frustrated and quit. 

Other famous Pure Generators: Albert Einstein, Dalai Lama, Bill Clinton, Mozart, Prince Charles, Madonna, Meryl Streep, George Harrison, James Dean, Vladimir Lenin, Thomas Mann, Carl Jung, Judy Garland, Timothy Leary, Oprah Winfrey, Meg Ryan, Greta Garbo, Richard Branson.

The Manifesting Generator
There are two subcategories of generators, pure generators and manifesting generators, both comprising of about 35% of the world population. The main difference between them is that, after responding to something, manifesting generators can act more quickly than pure generators.

Manifesting Generators are Manifestors with a Generator strategy. They have an endless resource of energy as they have at least one motor connected directly to the throat. Generally they love to be in the thick of life. Their greatest dilemma is to learn that their true power lies in waiting for opportunities to come to them. If they actively try to pursue their goals and dreams they will encounter only resistance and pain. When they relax, then their lives can be poetry in motion.

Predominant negative feeling: Frustration in the pure generator and frustration combined with anger in the manifesting generator.

Strategy: Wait to act until you are clear about your response. Do not initiate.


Projectors
Projectors (about 21% of the population) are naturally able to work with and guide the energy of others, but only when they are recognized for their unique abilities and traits. Projectors know that they are recognized and appreciated when they receive an appropriate invitation. Without an invitation, the projector does not know if they will be able to put their talents and abilities to use in any way that is natural or healthy for them. They are people whose specific gift is to work with and guide the energy of others. They alone can understand both manifestors and generators. They also have a design to wait, and the key that unlocks their power is recognition. Unless they are recognised, they are powerless. Once they are recognised, they can achieve almost anything.
Projectors need more knowledge of their own inner design than manifestors and generators in order to know what invitations are good for them. When they are recognized for who they really are according to their specific design, they come into their true power. If they attempt to act or to join in without an invitation, they meet resistance and are not recognized by others.

Predominant negative feeling: Bitterness

Strategy: Wait for all special invitations in life: marriage, career, family, love, etc. Do not pursue or initiate.

Grant, Henry Miller, Douglas MacArthur, Demi Moore, Nastasia Kinski, Courtney Love, Shirley MacLaine


Reflectors
The rarest of the four types, Reflectors (less than 2% of the population) are open to the world in every way, since they have nothing fixed in their nature to rely upon (none of the 9 centres are coloured in). If they do not understand how their design works they can feel deeply lost and overwhelmed by life. They take others in very deeply. Reflectors are often deeply disturbed due to lack of self-knowledge and adverse conditioning, but they can become very wise if they understand their openness and how to work with it.
Reflectors that do not truly know themselves can be deeply disappointed in life. Before making major decisions, they need to wait out the cycle of the moon (approximately 28 days) because the movement of the moon through the wheel of the zodiac gives the Reflector access to his or her own inner wisdom over time. They have a fixed lunar pattern that repeats every month. Sometimes they are a projector, a manifestor and even a generator. Reflectors need to understand more about their design and the Human Design System than anyone else to be able to successfully apply their strategy.

Predominant negative feeling: Disappointment

Strategy: Wait out the moon cycle (28.5 days) before making major decisions
