Core Motivations of Type 3

Type 3s fear being exposed or thought of as incompetent, inefficient, worthless, failing, or appearing unsuccessful. Their desire is to have high status, be respected, admired, seen as successful, and valuable to others. However, their core weakness is deceit as they present an embellished image to gain admiration through achievements, often shaping their persona to fit different groups. Type 3s long to hear that they are loved and valued for simply being themselves.
