If you want the full break down with all the details for the levels of health, I highly recommend picking up Riso and Hudson’s book: Personality Types.Type 2s are people who see the world through relationships and define themselves through their service to others. There are actually a total of nine levels of health three levels in each of these main levels. These are just the three main levels of health. Often unaware of how selfish they are being. Often using guilt to get others to do what they feel is warranted. They can be manipulative and self-serving. They can often wear themselves out caring for others because they have a hard time saying no.Ģs when unhealthy: feel entitled to get what they want from others as repayment for all that they have done. They are still givers but at this level they tend to expect something in return. They may meddle and control in the name of love. They are able to see the good in others and are very encouraging.Ģs when average: are a bit more people pleasing as they need to be needed. Serving others is still important but it’s balanced with taking care of self. They are humble, altruistic, and provide unconditional love to others. The three main levels of health are Healthy, Average, and Unhealthy.Ģs when healthy: are thoughtful and compassionate.
