AN INTRODUCTION TO TRITYPE THEORY
The 4 Tritypes
This framework introduces archetypes by emphasizing positive traits first, making it easier for people to recognize and accept their flaws. By presenting weaknesses as a result of being “too good” or “out of balance,” individuals are more open to self-improvement. People often resist change because they see their negative traits as useful, but these traits can lead to harmful behaviors in critical situations. Each archetype exists on a spectrum of mental health, influenced by life satisfaction and self-awareness. This work is designed for intellectually curious individuals, encouraging deeper introspection and a more nuanced understanding of personality.

TRITYPE AS VIRTUES
The Leader Archetype
The Leadership Ability Archetype captures the essence of effective leadership through a harmonious blend of essential virtues—protection, competency, and compromise—that empower leaders to guide their teams with clarity, purpose, and positivity. At its core, leadership is about providing clear, decisive instructions that inspire others toward common goals while boosting positive moods within the team. This archetype emphasizes balancing strategic planning and dynamic action, allowing leaders to make informed decisions (competency) while creating a supportive environment where empathy and firm guidance (protection) nurture growth. By integrating steadfast convictions with an openness to change (compromise), leaders can navigate challenges skillfully, ensuring both team cohesion and an uplifting, successful atmosphere.
The Mentor Archetype
The Mentorship Ability Archetype embodies effective mentorship through a blend of essential virtues—consideration, genuineness, and courage—that equip mentors to guide others with empathy, authenticity, and resilience while diminishing negative influences. At its heart, mentorship is about offering guidance that addresses challenges constructively, combining critique with gentle support (consideration). This archetype emphasizes creating an atmosphere where humility and charisma blend seamlessly, allowing individuals to express their genuine selves without self-doubt (genuineness). By balancing caution with adventurousness (courage), mentors foster an environment that encourages exploration and growth.
