‘Human Design has brought me “home”. I have finally been understood. Thank you for opening me up, re – affirming my truth, and providing expert guidance.’

What type of person do you think you are? If you had one minute to sum up your nature with a self – appraisal that allowed you to be understood and recognized on first impression, what would you say?

The world is a colourful assortment of approximately seven billion different characters and there are endless descriptions of different types. Sometimes we’re identified by our jobs and professions: the executive type, the labourer type or care – giving type. Or we stand out by personality: the shy type, the confident type, the thoughtful type or reckless type. Some even mark us out by hair colour: she’s a blonde, he’s a redhead. Or religion: Orthodox Jew or southern Baptist. Or nationality: American or Arab. I’m sure as you read those labels, snapshot stereotypes formed in your head. It seems everyone applies superficial labels that really tell us nothing about the person.

Which is where Human Design comes in. It recognizes five types of person, five types that we’re designed to be:

• manifestors

• generators

• manifesting generators

• projectors

• reflectors

Your type is determined by noting which centres, if any, you have defined, and to which other centres they connect. Put simply, your type depends on which of the nine centres are in colour. It reveals some of the most insightful information about you – and others. I’ll go so far as to say that you’ll start to view people you have known for decades in a new light. And once you understand someone’s natural state of being, it allows you to rethink your approach to them. Of course, old habits die hard, and long – established behavioural patterns are notoriously difficult to break. But Human Design encourages us to break down stereotypes, see the real person and interact in a far more authentic way.

The life chart from the Human Design program actually tells you what type you are. So if in doubt, take another look at it, or print it out, and read on. And remember that if at first you don’t recognize yourself in your type, this might be caused by conditioning that has made you act in ways counter to your being. So I suggest looking beyond how you act and focusing on your innermost self.
