Human Design

Human Design is a New Age-inspired pseudo-scientific practice.[1][2] Its proponents describe it as a holistic self-knowledge system.[3] Some describe it as similar to the Myers–Briggs personality test (the introvert/extrovert archetypes). Its effectiveness has not been confirmed by peer reviewed research.[4]

Human Design combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah and Vedic philosophy,[5][6][7][8] centering around the division of personalities into four energy types alleged to indicate how someone is supposed to exchange energy with the world: Manifestors, Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors.[9] It was originated by Alan Robert Krakower who published a book called The Human Design System under the pseudonym Ra Uru Hu in 1992.[10][11] Krakower developed the Human Design system following a mystical experience in 1987.[12][13][14][15][16][17] Human Design purports to be a self-knowledge method which does not have any specific religious dogma or affiliation.[18] Despite this, it has been described by theologian J. R. Hustwit as a "transreligious project" that is "breathtaking in scope" and synthesizes seven or more traditions.[19] It has also been described as a psychological counseling instrument[20] and "a comprehensive and personalized map of your unique energy and life blueprint, guiding you towards self-awareness, personal growth, and empowerment."[21][22]

In Human Design analysis, planets are displayed in a type of horoscope called a bodygraph. The bodygraph shows the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching at various locations on the body. It is sometimes shown within a mandala, overlaid on the 12 signs of the zodiac. In addition, it claims to facilitate "deep access to bodily, generational and inter-dimensional intelligence."[23]
