The Type One’s core unconscious belief is that the world should be perfect and isn’t. They believe that it is their job to perfect the world, beginning with themselves. They are driven to be a good person, and value high integrity and self control. Ones take the world seriously, focusing on what needs to be fixed and improved, most of all themselves. They are honest and reliable. They have high personal standards, high running inner critics, and can also be critical of others. They tend to see things as black or white, right or wrong. Ones work so hard to be good, which can lead to resentment when others don’t work as hard or notice their effort. They work hard at being right all the time. They are motivated by being the best person they can be.
