How the type and the authority work together
It's not an easy mix: the type rushes ahead while the authority asks to wait. That pause is exactly what saves the MG from its most common trouble — dropping something barely begun because the decision was made at the peak of a mood.
How to make decisions
Response, then time, then action. Hear the sacral "yes", let it go through the wave, and only once the clarity is steady, inform those it will affect and take the first step. After the first step you can still tell whether the thing is really yours.
Traps
- Agreeing on a wave of enthusiasm and dropping things as soon as the mood falls.
- Acting like a Manifestor — starting without a response.
- Not telling others about changed plans and wondering why they resist.
Manifesting Generator: a response, then full speed
The Manifesting Generator combines traits of two types but is neither of them. An ordinary Generator sometimes needs to check its response again and again to keep going. One "yes" is enough for an MG: after it, an inner Manifestor wakes up — decisive and fast. An MG easily holds several things at once and skips steps.
The danger is forgetting the response and acting on desire alone, like a Manifestor: then the energy runs out quickly. The opposite extreme is to see yourself as an ordinary Generator and miss opportunities. The second part of the strategy is to tell the people around you what you are doing: an MG moves so fast that others can't keep up.
