The Two Parts of the 1/3 Profile

Researcher + Experimenter

Human Design Profile Line 1

Line 1 - The Researcher:

Personality / Conscious Mind

(known, accessible part of "you")

Common characteristics of Line 1’s in Human Design, the “Investigator” or the “Researcher”:

  1. Deep Investigation: natural inclination towards deep research and investigation, driven to understand the fundamentals and details of whatever they are interested in
  2. Foundation Building: They focus on building a strong foundation of knowledge before feeling comfortable to move forward or take action. This thorough understanding gives them a sense of security.
  3. Inner World: Line 1 profiles are often introspective, spending a lot of time in their own thoughts and analysis. They are more inclined towards solitary activities where they can delve deep into their interests.
  4. Mastery: Due to their in-depth research and understanding, they often become experts in their fields. They value mastery and proficiency highly.
  5. Cautious: They tend to be cautious, preferring to fully understand a situation or subject before engaging with it. This can sometimes be seen as a reluctance to step into unknown territory without sufficient preparation.
  6. Self-Reliant Learners: Line 1 individuals prefer to learn at their own pace and in their own way. They are sponges for knowledge and make extra effort to find good sources for their research.
  7. Stability-Seekers: There is a fundamental need for a sense of stability and certainty in their lives. They often feel unsettled if they do not have a firm grasp on the subjects or situations they are dealing with.
  8. Resilient: Once they have established a strong foundation of knowledge, they can be incredibly resilient, especially in the face of challenges or when defending their viewpoints.

Line 1’s have a deep need for understanding and a methodical, often solitary, exploration of the world around them.

Line 3 - The Experimenter:

Design / Unconscious Mind

(unknown, mysterious part of "you")​

Common characteristics of Line 3’s in Human Design, the “Martyr” or “Experimenter”:

  1. Trial and Error: Individuals with a Line 3 profile (1/3, 3/5, 6/3 Profiles) are the experimenters of our world. They learn best through a process of trial and error, often by making mistakes and learning from them.
  2. Adaptable + Resilient: Due to their experiential learning style, Line 3’s are highly adaptable and resilient. They are not discouraged by failures but see them as opportunities to learn and grow.
  3. Practical: People with this profile tend to be practical and realistic. They are more interested in what works in real life rather than theoretical or abstract concepts.
  4. Innate Skepticism: They often have an innate skepticism and like to test theories or ideas for themselves rather than taking them at face value.
  5. Discovery Through Experience: They often need to go through things personally to understand them fully. The Martyr/Explorer discovers who they are and what works for them through experiences. If they haven’t lived it, it doesn’t count!
  6. Frequent Changes: Their lives may involve frequent changes or shifts as they move through different experiences and learn new things about themselves and the world.
  7. Relatable + Grounded: Their experiences make them relatable and grounded, often able to share useful advice based on their real-world adventures.
  8. Sustainability: They learn to look for methods, relationships, and paths that are sustainable and work long-term, learning from what hasn’t worked in the past.

The Line 3’s approach to life is an experiential and pragmatic path. They learn through directly engaging with the world.

Line 3’s are also found in the 3/5, 3/6, and 6/3 profiles.

My Personal Perspective

The 1/3 Profile

The 1/3 Profile in Human Design combines the attributes of both the Line 1 (Investigator) and Line 3 (Martyr/Explorer), creating a unique personality profile with specific characteristics and life approaches:

  1. Depth and Investigation (Line 1): Individuals with this profile have a deep need to understand the world around them. They are driven to research, study, and get to the bottom of things, seeking a solid foundation of knowledge.
  2. Trial and Error (Line 3): The Line 3 influence brings an experiential learning style. These individuals learn best through trial and error, often finding out what works and what doesn’t through their own experiences.
  3. Inquisitive and Experimental: The combination of Lines 1 and 3 makes a person both inquisitive and experimental. They are not afraid to delve deep into a subject and then apply their findings in real-world scenarios, even if it means making mistakes along the way.
  4. Resilience in the Face of Failure: Due to their experimental nature, 1/3’s are used to experiencing to setbacks. They may interpret these setbacks as “failures”, but these do not (or should not) deter them. Instead, the 1/3 Profile in Human Design can use these learning experiences for growth and better understanding.
  5. Self-reliance: Individuals with a 1/3 profile often rely on their own research and experiences rather than taking others’ word for it. They trust their process of learning and discovery.
  6. Practical and Realistic: They tend to be practical and realistic, applying their depth of knowledge and experiential wisdom in a pragmatic way.
  7. Search for Stability and Security: The Line 1 influence brings a need for stability and security, especially in terms of knowledge and understanding.
  8. Innovative and Insightful: The combination of deep investigation and experiential learning can lead to innovative and insightful discoveries. They often have a unique perspective based on a thorough understanding and real-world testing.

In Human Design, the 1/3 Profile is often seen as one of the most grounded and practical, combining the need for deep understanding with the resilience and adaptability of learning from life’s trials. This profile is well-equipped to navigate complexities by relying on both extensive knowledge and personal experience.
