The 5 Human Design types

Your type summarizes how you are designed to use your energy. Generators and Manifesting Generators have a response strategy: wait for something to respond to before acting.

Projectors are here to guide and see others: their strategy is to wait for the invitation. Manifestors initiate: they inform before acting to reduce resistance. The Reflector, a rare type, mirrors their environment and needs a full lunar cycle for major decisions.

Type does not define your whole identity, but it gives a practical framework for choices. On a chart, type is derived from defined centers and body configuration.
