How about “rigid” and “controlling”. I am a type 4 that has been continuously told throughout my life that I am too rigid and told to lighten up, relax, let it go. I can see the extremeness of rigidity as problematic. But the positive ends of rigid– organized, exact, precise– are very rarely honored in our culture!

Hi Carol,
My sister and I went to your profiling class, she is a 4 and I am a 1. (It is amazing how we were both tried to be each others energy type) Remembering back though she was the one that rebeled and even still does in her 30s. She will do the oposite of our parents rules now just because they made a rule. (she is still good though) We were not allowed to pierce our ears growing up… She did after she moved out. I am wondering is there a difference in the way a 3 and a 4 might rebel? (I don’t really see any physcial evidence that she is a 3) Would a 1 or 2 rebel or would we become more complient and small?

Type 4’s need to be their own authority so when they are not allowed to make their own rules, they will rebel out of the need to be their own rule-maker, even if the rules being made for them are reasonable. Type 3’s rebel because they don’t like being boxed in by rules and like to push and test the rules. Every Type can rebel, Type 1’s can rebel because they just can’t adapt to a very serious, structured life-style, Type 2’s probably would be the least likely to rebel, but if they do it is done in a more quiet, subtle manner.

I was given a lable of being unreasonable and stubborn, loner independent, do nto need anyone e.t.c. My parents are unable to tell me what my name means but all they could say was I take after my name sake, who is said to have been Independent, unreasonable, always have to have things her way and stubborn. These were traits I think I was quite proud of until about 5 years ago when I realised that they were more of a hinderance than an enabler. I since learnt about cutting cords. I am getting there in claiming my own charateristics and not carry out someone elses.
I keep telling anyone who will listen about naming kids after certain people to remember to cut the cords and to stop highlighting the negative carateristics of their names sake, so as to allow the child to develop their own character. It is amazing how the majority of the time we highlight the negative characteristics, well at least in my circles.

A few weeks ago, right about the same time that I turned 52, I found that I am a Type 1. This has been a great relief. I’ve been “stuck” in an office job for over a year, because I told myself I’d be crazy to pass up the income. I’ve been looking for a way out ever since I started the job. Now, I know why I dislike it so much. Now I understand why I did/did not do certain things while being a stay at home mom for many years. Since finding my energy type and learning my truth, in just a few weeks, I am finding my “calling”. I have started a small business, everything has just fallen into place effortlessly and soon enough, I expect to be able to leave this office job. I’d thought about this business for years, but it wouldn’t ever work out, or I became too fearful and would put the idea on hold. I’m so excited. My creative energy is flowing, I’m content, happy and so excited. And very much relieved. I AM FREE. Thanks for the Energy Profiling, Carol.

I am type one but growing up I was labelled shy and a cry baby at school I decided not to be shy anymore when I moved to a new Highschool and I wasnt really a cry baby I was being taunted by bullies in elementary school. probably encouraged the shyness or withdrawal for protection.
High school was good I wasnt popular but I enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends People liked and respected me
College was fun and I was told I was very innocent and naive and I was.
I met my husband and was told I was perfect (I wasnt ) and I didnt live up to his label and subsequently he has labelled me “always have to be right” “never admit my mistakes” too opinionated” arguementative” loves to argue” crazy” manipulative” lazy” selfish” actually the most selfish person he has ever met” all I know are untrue labels
I am learning to love me and the good I am. I want to only reguard my children with uplifting and inspiring labels. The older I get the more I believe this little statement If you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all.
