Centers of Intelligence and Perception: BODY
The instinctual center is made up of 8's, 9's, and 1's who are driven by their gut or instincts. Their actions, reactions, as well as how they move through the world are heavily influenced by their experience in their body. They tend towards a focus on control of self, belonging in their community and the larger society, right action, and have a need for personal security. Their core emotion is anger.

Centers of Intelligence and Perception: HEART
The emotional center is composed of 2's, 3's, and 4's who experience a lot of the world through their feelings. Their automatic response to a positive or negative situation is felt in the heart which drives them to have a natural gift for compassion, empathy, and concern for the other. This triad is extra aware of how people view them and therefore work hard to meet the perceived expectations of others. Their core emotion is sadness.

Centers of Intelligence and Perception:
HEAD
The intellectual center includes 5's, 6's, and 7's who thrive on certainty, safety, and/or having a variety of options. These types are driven from ideas, thrive by gathering information, and make decisions based on facts and knowledge. They tend to be so wrapped up in the thoughts in their head that they can have a hard time connecting to their body and/or heart. Head types need rationality and a clear path to feel safe and secure. Their core emotion is fear.
