Can a Low Energy Type Thrive in a High Energy Family? Type Talk With Carol

Your questions answered—exclusively for Lifestyle members.

Have you ever wondered how I came to know what color groups were correct for each Type. And how can you learn to find more joy in daily tasks?

You’ll learn more about these topics in this broadcast of Type Talk, but first, I profile the cast of the group, Impractical Jokers (2:55), and why I now know that Michael Jordan is Type 1 (12:00)Before looking below to see the answers, remember my one tip: look at the whole face—what list of expressive movements do you see first?

Here’s a list of all the questions asked during this event—they’re timestamped so you can easily find them when you rewatch this video in the future!

  • (15:25) I’m a Type 2, How can I find the right boundaries in my high energy family when I go into a place of feeling overlooked and underappreciated and stomped on? I love me and my nature as I have grown into it and accepted it. It is very hurtful to me when this continues. I love my family too though I have difficulty knowing how I can STAND UP FOR MY SOFT SUBTLE ENERGY.
    -We had a similar question from a Type 3:
    As a Type 3 living with 3 Type 2’s I love your question. How can I best support my sensitive family members?

  • (19:15) How common or uncommon is it to have everyone in your family the same primary type? What would that look like and how would that impact family interactions?
  • (21:43) I’m a Type 1, I have a big problem with cooking. I feel really defeated when my kids are picky about what I’ve made. How can I make this light for myself so that making dinner isn’t a dark part of my day?
  • (24:05) How might my being gifted change my perspective of my childhood? I believe that I’m a Type 3/4, but much of my childhood was in a state of maturity and authority because of my ability to see things clearly. (The Carol Tuttle Healing Center will support you in healing your inner child.)
  • (25:18) Can swift eyebrows also be considered parallel lines if they mirror the lines of the angle of the jawline and cheekbones or is that incorrect Face Profiling?
  • (26:32) Could you please talk about authority and what that looks like for the different Types? I’ve read about Type 4 and how they don’t like being “bossed around” and told what to do, but isn’t that true for any Type?
  • (30:14) It is possible to live your life in your tertiary Energy Type? I really believed that I was a Type 2 and though I was an introverted energy all my life. I’m a Type 3/1/2/4, as I now know it.
  • (31:20) I’m a Type 2/3 and I’ve been drawn to start a fitness activity since reading Master Affluence. I’d love to start hiking, but I have a small baby, and a 6-year-old Type 3, and I’m fairly out of shape. How can I start at a comfortable pace for me and my family?
  • (33:00) I hate to ask, but how much longer of a wait ’til we can save things on Lifestyle? (I’ll answer this, and give other Lifestyle updates on Tues, Mar 26 at 2 pm MST on my Facebook page)
  • (34:20) How do you know when it’s a secondary Type 4 shines, vs. a secondary Type 1 sparkle then the other style elements are in the dominant Type?
  • (35:54) I watched the video about How to Take Care of Your Yin in a Very Yang World and one of the things that occurred to me was that as a T1/2, I have a lot of yins but I also lead with one yang. Sometimes, I feel like my three yins are well taken care of and overpower my one yang. How can I better nurture my one yang and find that balance between my yang and three yins? Perhaps this might be helpful for other types such as 2/1, 4/2, and 2/4.
  • (41:15) I was curious to know how did Carol find out about the connection of how the Type’s colors (tints, tones, shades, and hues) work with each Type?
    (Learn why the “Seasons” color system didn’t work for me, and how Crossover Colors can open your options)
  • (48:12) How do delays and disabilities impact Energy Types? I have a 7-year-old who’s delayed, and her delays make me question her Energy Type. (For support with child and parenting questions join The Child Whisperer Facebook group)
  • (49:12) Did having surgery have any effect on your hubby’s Energy? My hubby’s is a Type 3/1, but since he had bypass surgery his has really slowed down.
