Summary of Differences:
- When Type 1 dominates, the person is focused on ethics, structure, and doing things “right,” supported by emotional depth/creativity (Type 4) or intellectual rigor (Type 5).
- When Type 4 dominates, the person is focused on emotional authenticity, creativity, and being unique, enhanced by responsibility/ethics (Type 1) or intellectual depth/independence (Type 5).
- When Type 5 dominates, the person is focused on knowledge, independence, and mastery, grounded by ethics/morality (Type 1) or emotional sensitivity/authenticity (Type 4).
Each variation reflects how these three types combine in different orders to create unique expressions of The Researcher Tritype®.
