How do I find my type in Human Design?

Your Human Design type is calculated from your Bodygraph, a chart based on your birth date, time, and place. The type is determined by the specific pattern of defined (colored in) and undefined (white) centers in your chart. There are five possible types: Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector. Generators and Manifesting Generators have a defined Sacral center, giving them a consistent life-force energy. Manifestors have a defined motor center connected to the Throat, allowing them to initiate. Projectors have no defined Sacral and an undefined or open motor system, making them natural guides. Reflectors are the rarest type, with all centers completely open, mirroring their environment.

To find your type, you need an accurate birth time and a free or paid Bodygraph calculator. Once you see your chart, your type is usually displayed prominently alongside your Strategy—the way you’re designed to interact with the world to minimize resistance. For example, Generators respond, Manifestors inform, Projectors wait for recognition, and Reflectors wait a full lunar cycle before major decisions. Your Authority, or inner decision-making compass, is also shown and works hand-in-hand with your type.

This system offers a symbolic map for self-reflection, not a scientifically validated personality test. If you’re curious to dive deeper, you can explore your Bodygraph and type further here on the site.
