Self-projected Projector

Only Projectors have self-projected authority: the G center is connected to the Throat, and the Emotional center and the Spleen are undefined. All your truth is already in what you say — you only need to hear yourself.

How the type and the authority work together

For that you need someone you can talk to openly. The other person's opinion isn't the point: they're only the background against which you hear your own voice. A real "yes" sounds lively and glad, a forced agreement sounds flat and reluctant.

How to make decisions

Got an invitation? Tell someone you trust about it. Don't ask for advice — listen to what you say and how, especially when the words run ahead of your thoughts.

Traps

  • Asking for advice and doing what others recommend.
  • Thinking a decision over alone, in an inner monologue.
  • Talking only with people you can't be sincere with.

Projector: directing other people's energy

A Projector can't build up energy on its own: the people around it provide it, and with that energy it carries out its program. Competing on strength with Generators or Manifestors is almost impossible for it. A Projector often goes through a crisis: it admits it won't beat others at their game — and that is exactly when it discovers its real gift. It sees where others can fulfil themselves, like a coach standing off the pitch and correcting the team's game.

This gift works only after an invitation. Advice nobody asked for, however accurate, is more likely to meet rejection than recognition. When a Projector is invited and valued, it gets results while spending far less energy than others.
