Levels of Alignment Flashcards
TYPE 1:
MORAL PERFECTIONIST/ Aligned
Type 1s who align with the Gospel can
understand that their Inner Critic doesn’t have
power over them. They put their trust in the
truth of the Lord instead. They know, believe,
and trust that there is no more condemnation
and that they have been set free in Christ.
This allows them to be more accepting, noble,
respectful and trusting that God has everything
in control and that they can be patient for him
to make things right. It also frees them from
constantly feeling they have to police and judge
everything to ensure all is right. They trust that
God is sovereign and is working all things for
His good and glory. The aligned Type 1 knows
that they get to participate, but are not solely
responsible for making things right. God is in
control.
TYPE 1:
MORAL PERFECTIONIST/ Misaligned
Type 1s who are not as self-aware and trusting in the Lord’s timing and will become more judgmental, reactive, opinionated, irritated, resentful, and rigid in
procedures to ensure accuracy or perfection
and appease their Inner Critic. They will convey
this through both their body language and
words. The problem is that their Inner Critic is
never satisfied, and it leads them down a path
with no final destination. They need to realize
that Christ accomplished everything, and they
can rest in His timing and provisions.
TYPE 1:
MORAL PERFECTIONIST/ Out of Alignment
Allow their Inner Critic to control them, and they will
become intolerant, explosive, sharp, critical,
punishing, judgmental, nit-picky, and extremely
inflexible, all in hopes of making things “right.”
Mistakes and imperfections are glaring at them,
and the Inner Critic is excruciatingly loud.
TYPE 2:
SUPPORTIVE ADVISOR/ Aligned
Recognize their feelings and needs and
communicate them directly to others without
shame or fear of rejection. This allows them to
give love, support, and care to others without
having strings attached. It is an overflow of the
love they are receiving from the Lord.
TYPE 2:
SUPPORTIVE ADVISOR/ Misaligned
Highly involved in their friend groups. They begin to
read people, searching for those who are in need.
They start to communicate through flattery, gift-giving, and being affectionate so that others will
give them praise, affirmation, and gratitude. If
they do not get the appreciation they seek, they
can become aggressive, hover, and intrude on
other people’s lives with unsolicited help.
TYPE 2:
SUPPORTIVE ADVISOR/ Out of Alignment
Control others by manipulating, shaming,
and being a martyr/victim to get what they
want. They become blind to their unhealthy
strategies, believing that they are helpful,
selfless, and a giving person. This inhibits them
from listening to how they have hurt or intruded
on others, and further isolates them from the
relationships and affirmation they desperately
seek.
TYPE 3:
SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVER/ Aligned
Reveal their authentic self without fear, trusting they are loved for who they are in Christ. They know they have
complete success because Christ’s achievement
is now their achievement. They become self-accepting, gentle, and authentic because they
no longer need to perform to earn the love and
admiration. They are modest, charitable, and
they allow their emotions to emerge. They are
self-assured, energetic, and competent with a
high level of self-esteem, knowing their value in
Christ. They are adaptable, desirable, charming,
and gracious. They strive to improve themselves
and are highly effective.
TYPE 3:
SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVER/ Misaligned
Highly concerned with their performance. They do
their job well, continually driving themselves
to achieve goals as if their self-worth depends
on it. They are terrified of failure and compare
themselves with others as they search for status
and recognition. It is here where they become
careerists and social climbers. They shape-shift
to the expectations of others and know what is
required to be and appear successful. They are
pragmatic and efficient but have lost touch with
their feelings beneath their smooth surface.
They put on a false image to win people over,
and are self-promoting so others will admire
and be amazed by their achievements.
TYPE 3:
SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVER/ Out of Alignment
Fear of failure and humiliation leads
them to become exploitative and opportunistic.
They are jealous of the success of others and are
willing to do whatever it takes to preserve the
illusion of their superiority. To avoid exposure of
wrongdoing and mistakes, they become devious
and deceptive. They are now untrustworthy,
malicious, delusional, and sabotage people to
triumph over them.
TYPE 4:
ROMANTIC INDIVIDUALIST/ Aligned
Profoundly creative, expressing themselves with personal
depth and balanced emotions. They become
deeply inspired and self-renewing. Their feelings
are grounded, enabling them to transform all
their experiences into something beautiful
and valuable. They see their significance
through the eyes of their Creator, which
renews their souls. They’re not only self-aware
and reflective, but they are sensitive, gentle,
tactful, compassionate, and intuitive to others.
They are true to themselves, self-revealing,
emotionally honest, and humane. They can be
simultaneously vulnerable and emotionally
strong.
TYPE 4:
ROMANTIC INDIVIDUALIST/ Misaligned
Sense their fantasy, passionate feelings, and imagination is reality. They tend to take an artistic, romantic orientation to life, creating a beautiful, aesthetic
environment to cultivate and prolong personal
feelings. They desire to stay in touch with their
emotions, so they internalize everything and
take little things personally. This leads them to
be self-absorbed, moody, hypersensitive, shy,
and self-conscious. They withdraw to protect
their self-image and sort out their feelings.
They believe they are different from others and
exempt from living as everyone else does. They
become melancholic and sensual dreamers as
they live in their fantasy world. Self-pity and
envy of others lead them to self-indulgence.
They become increasingly impractical and
unproductive.
TYPE 4:
ROMANTIC INDIVIDUALIST/ Out of Alignment
Start to see that their dreams are
failing, so they become self-inhibiting, angry
at themselves, and depressed. They alienate
themselves and feel emotionally paralyzed.
This leads to personal shame, fatigue, and
an inability to function. Tormented by their
delusional self-contempt, guilt, self-hatred, and
morbid thoughts, everything becomes a source
of torment to them. They blame others and
drive away anyone who tries to help.
TYPE 5:
INVESTIGATIVE THINKER/ Aligned
When Type 5s align with the Gospel,
they can experience and express their feelings
in the moment. They are actively engaging
with life, rather than merely observing it. They
become more spontaneous, imaginative, and
joyful. They express their insights by using their
head, gut, and heart so that it comes from a
deeper perspective that blesses others. They
go beyond the cerebral and engage with the
fullness of life with enthusiasm for experiences,
ideas, and emotions.
TYPE 5:
INVESTIGATIVE THINKER/ Misaligned
They can be remote, quiet, and
withdrawn. They live mainly in their head and
observe the world from a cerebral, outsider
stance. They are objective, calm, and analyze
what is happening from a factual viewpoint.
They do not like surprises, intrusions, and too
many emotions. They will detach from their
feelings and others if they are uncomfortable or
overwhelmed. They minimize their needs and
guard their inner resources by withdrawing and
needing a lot of privacy.
TYPE 5:
INVESTIGATIVE THINKER/ Out of Alignment
Become frightened that their inner resources
will deplete to the point of annihilation.
They withdraw and become isolated and
hostile towards others who invade their rigid
boundaries. They may even become suspicious
of others and begin plotting ways to harm
them. They can become secretive, explosive,
and relationally awkward. They have a hard
time accessing emotions when their minds are
overactive and out of control.
