Human Design 4/1 Profile in the working world

You have the Human Design 4/1 profile? Then I would like to briefly describe to you how your profile is composed. The profiles in Human Design result from the six lines of the basic structure of a hexagram from the I Ching, the Book of Changes (see figure below). In total, there are 12 combinations of these lines that make up the profile. In your Human Design Chart you will also find your two lines as a number behind the point on your conscious Sun (personality) and your unconscious Sun (design).

Characteristics of the lines

Some interesting character traits can be derived from your profile. You are aware of the properties of the first digit. The characteristics of the second digit are rather unconscious to you, especially if you have not yet reached the second half of life. The Human Design 4/1 profile also has interesting traits that you are sure to recognize in your profession.

In traditional human design, the six lines are assigned the characters shown in the figure. In terms of the profession, interesting conclusions can be drawn from these characteristics. Between the first three lines and the second three lines (looking from the bottom up), there exists a change in the way you learn in life. This is more about learning for life and not about how you learn in school, vocational school or university.

How you discover life

With the first three lines you have a learning style which is related to yourself. It is a self-referential way of learning. So if you have a profile with line 1, 2, or 3, you discover life in a self-referential way with respect to that line. With lines 4, 5, and 6, you have a learning style for life that connects you to those around you. Profiles can be composed of two self-related lines, two environment-related lines, or can be a mix of self-related and environment-related lines.

The Human Design 4/1 Profile

Your teammates and business partners look up to you, because with the Human Design 4/1 profile you radiate competence and confidence. Few colleagues can hold a candle to you professionally, because you have a solid theoretical foundation in your field. You communicate its content authentically in your networks. Do not desire what others do. Follow your heart, even if others cannot understand your actions. Because that’s how you stay true to who you are.

Less than 2 percent of the population has a 4/1 profile. This gives you your own unique way of finding your way in the world. The most important thing you need to know with a 4/1 profile is that you are different than most of your peers. You have a neutral point of view and can best tell how the company is doing. Basically, you are very outgoing, but you need retreats to deal with what fascinates you. If you fulfill these aspects, you can influence your networks with your individuality and in return you will get what you need for your personal and professional development.
