Instinctual Subtypes

This document explains the three instinctual subtypes often associated with personality: self-preserving, one-to-one/relational, and social/global. Each subtype describes a different primary drive—survival, intimacy, or community—along with their core desires, fears, and energy styles. It would help individuals seeking to understand their basic motivations and how these influence their relationships with themselves, others, and groups.
