The Five Types

Your Type is a description of the shape and function of your aura — closed and repelling (Manifestor), open and enveloping (Generator/MG), focused and penetrating (Projector), or resistant and sampling (Reflector). Aura precedes behavior; other people's nervous systems register it before you say a word.

Each Type has one Strategy that matches its aura. Manifestors inform; Generators and MGs respond; Projectors wait for invitation and recognition; Reflectors wait a lunar cycle. Following Strategy is what lowers resistance in daily life.

When Strategy is honored, each Type experiences a signature feeling: Manifestor = peace, Generator = satisfaction, MG = satisfaction and peace, Projector = success, Reflector = surprise. When Strategy is ignored, the not-self feeling appears: anger, frustration, frustration-and-anger, bitterness, disappointment. These are not moral judgments; they are dashboard lights.

For one week, notice which of the five signature or not-self states dominates your day. That reading, more than any chart interpretation, tells you whether you are living your Type or fighting it.

The percentages above (Manifestor ~8%, Generator ~37%, MG ~33%, Projector ~21%, Reflector ~1%) are widely cited within the Human Design community. They are not derived from a peer-reviewed demographic study; treat them as community estimates.
