Manifestor: Manifestors are people of action. Of the four human types these are the only people who are specifically designed to act without waiting. The fact that there are so few people who are designed to act (less then 10% of the population) is often a shock to people who are introduced to their true design. The capacity to manifest and act is something we take for granted in our society.
The manifestor is by nature a lone wolf. Because they can act independently of other people, they are not designed to be controlled by society in any way.
The strategy that manifestors must learn is to inform before they act.
Generators: Generators are pure energy beings, but unlike manifestors they are not designed to initiate action. Generators are designed to respond to life and thus they have a design to wait. Patience is the great key for generators. Statistically, generators make up over 70 per cent of the population. The great theme of all generators is frustration. Generators never know what is right for them unless they have first waited to respond, for their chemistry is designed to attract forces and people that initiate them and ask them.

Projectors: Projectors can do the jobs that no one else in the world can do, and if you call on them they can really deliver the goods. Projectors are the first of the two non-energy types.
This, of course, does not mean that they have no energy. In fact, they have access to more energy than almost anyone else, but first they have to be recognized. The projector is waiting for 'investors' to recognize their specific talents and skills, whatever they may be.
Projectors are natural networkers, whose gift is to manage the energy of other people. Since their personal fulfillment depends on having the right people in their life, projectors have a natural gift for reading the people around them. Projectors have an extremely deep need to be seen.
Reflectors: Reflectors are statistically by far the rarest of the four types. They have nothing fixed in their nature at all. In Human Design, the white or undefined centers in a chart are where we are open and vulnerable to the conditioning of others. Because of this the undefined centers represent the areas of our life where we can be the most confused and, paradoxically, where we can be the most wise. The openness of their design gives them a deep affinity with the moon.In other words, reflectors have regular cycles each month where they can live out all the other three energy types.
