1. Manifestors: The Trailblazers

Manifestors make up approximately 9% of the population, and they are the initiators and visionaries. These individuals have the unique ability to bring ideas to life and get things moving. Manifestors are not here to wait for permission; instead, their purpose is to take action and lead the way for others.

Key Traits of Manifestors:

• Strengths: Independent, powerful initiators, capable of creating significant change.

• Strategy: Inform others before acting to minimize resistance and gain support.

• Challenge: Dealing with resistance or feeling misunderstood when others don’t align with their vision.

Manifestors often thrive in leadership roles or creative endeavors where they can direct their energy freely. Their key to success is learning to communicate their intentions, which helps smooth interactions with others.

💡 Fun Fact: Some of the greatest disruptors and innovators in history were likely Manifestors!

2. Generators: The Builders

Generators are the builders of the world, making up approximately 37% of the population. These individuals are known for their sustainable energy, which allows them to work on tasks and projects with passion and dedication—when it’s something they love.

Key Traits of Generators:

• Strengths: Masterful at building and completing tasks with energy and focus.

• Strategy: Respond to opportunities that excite them, rather than initiating.

• Challenge: Feeling stuck or frustrated when they commit to things that don’t light them up.

Generators thrive when they are doing what they enjoy, whether it’s in their career, relationships, or hobbies. Their energy is magnetic and highly impactful when it’s aligned with their passions.

💡 Did You Know? Generators have a “gut response” that helps guide them to the right decisions. This response can feel like a “yes” or “no” in their body.

3. Manifesting Generators: The Multi-Tasking Powerhouses

Manifesting Generators (or Mani Gens) are a hybrid of Manifestors and Generators, making up about 33% of the population. They combine the vision and action of Manifestors with the steady energy of Generators. Mani Gens are natural multitaskers who excel at juggling multiple interests and projects at once.

Key Traits of Manifesting Generators:

• Strengths: High energy, quick learners, and able to pivot efficiently between tasks.

• Strategy: Respond to what excites them and inform others before acting.

• Challenge: Tendency to skip steps or spread their energy too thin.

Mani Gens thrive in dynamic environments that allow them to experiment, explore, and follow their diverse interests. Their ability to start and finish projects quickly makes them incredibly productive when aligned.

💡 Pro Tip: To avoid burnout, Mani Gens should focus on what truly excites them and allow themselves to pivot when something no longer feels right.

4. Projectors: The Guides

Projectors are the guides and leaders, representing about 20% of the population. These individuals have a natural gift for seeing the big picture and understanding how others can work more efficiently. Projectors are here to guide others, but they must wait for an invitation to share their wisdom.

Key Traits of Projectors:

• Strengths: Insightful, great planners, and able to recognize the potential in others.

• Strategy: Wait for the right invitation to offer their guidance.

• Challenge: Risk of burnout when trying to keep up with energy types like Generators or Manifesting Generators.

Projectors excel in roles where they can advise, coach, or mentor others. They shine when they focus on mastering their craft and aligning themselves with the right opportunities.

💡 Insight: Projectors often thrive in environments that recognize their unique gifts and value their input.

5. Reflectors: The Mirrors

Reflectors are the rarest type, making up just 1% of the population. These individuals are deeply connected to their environment and reflect the health and energy of the people and spaces around them. Reflectors are here to show us what’s working and what’s not.

Key Traits of Reflectors:

• Strengths: Highly intuitive, attuned to the collective, and able to sense what needs to change.

• Strategy: Wait for a full lunar cycle (28 days) before making major decisions.

• Challenge: Navigating a world designed for faster decision-making.

Reflectors thrive when they are in environments that feel good to them, as their energy is deeply influenced by their surroundings. Their purpose is to reflect the truth of the collective, bringing awareness and clarity to the world.

💡 Fact: Reflectors are like energetic mirrors, showing us the state of our communities and relationships.
