The 5 Human Design types
Human Design sorts people into five energy Types — Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor and Reflector. Your Type comes from which centers in your chart are defined and how they connect, and it sets your Strategy: the way of engaging with life that meets the least resistance.
