Understanding Your Human Design Type

Your Human Design Type is determined by which centers in your chart are defined (colored in) and which are undefined (white). Specifically, it's based on whether your Sacral Center and Throat Center are defined, and if they're connected.

The Five Types

Manifestors (9%) - The Initiators

Manifestors have a direct connection from a motor center to the Throat, but no defined Sacral. They're designed to initiate and impact others. Their strategy is to inform before acting.

Generators (37%) - The Builders

Generators have a defined Sacral Center but no direct connection to the Throat. They're designed to respond to life and build through sustainable energy. Their strategy is to wait to respond.

Manifesting Generators (33%) - The Multi-Passionates

Manifesting Generators have a defined Sacral AND a connection from a motor to the Throat. They combine Generator building energy with Manifestor initiating power. Their strategy is to respond then inform.

Projectors (20%) - The Guides

Projectors have an undefined Sacral Center and no motor to Throat connection. They're designed to guide others and manage energy. Their strategy is to wait for invitation.

Reflectors (1%) - The Mirrors

Reflectors have all centers undefined. They're designed to reflect the health of their community and environment. Their strategy is to wait a full lunar cycle (28 days) for major decisions.
