Identity, Support, and Survival Numbers

The triad terms Identity, Support, and Survival have a specific definition, function, purpose, and a triad number in each center. The expression the positive behavioral characteristics relate to the triad number and the center. They are:

• Identity: The Identity/Personality type behavioral characteristics of the number are the same. The Identity number misuses or is unclear as how to naturally use its positive characteristics. To compensate, various behavioral patterns develop to gain love and acceptance within the family and in the world. These behaviors become the psychological patterns, fixations, and illusions of the number/type.
• Support: The middle triad number is always the Support number. The positive behavioral characteristics are overused to Support the needs and desires of the Identity/Personality number in the world.
• Survival: The third triad number is the Survival number where the positive characteristics are underdeveloped and under-used by Identity. When under stress, impulsive, reactive, fight or flight behaviors often appear.
