The 1/3 Profile in Human Design - The Investigator Martyr

The HD Your Biz® Show - Human Design for Business with Jamie Palmer

In this episode, I dive deep into the human design profile of the One Three investigator martyr or as I like to researcher experimenter. Those with a 1/3 profile in human design are individuals who are constantly seeking to acquire knowledge and then move that knowledge forward through experimentation. The 1/3 profile in human design may struggle with feelings of insecurity or impostor syndrome, as they balance their desire for research with their need for experiementation.

In this episode I explore the many facets of the 1/3 profile, from the importance of uninterrupted alone time to the significance of timing. 1/3 Investigator Matyrs in Human Design are individuals who love to spend their time in researching.Throughout the episode, I will share the challenges and strengths of the 1/3 profile in humand from the oscillation of back-and-forth research and experimentation to the importance of building a strong foundation to feel safe and confident. We also discuss how children and adults alike can benefit from this balance, learning from failures and experimenting with new ideas to cultivate a deeper understanding of their expertise.

Overall, this episode offers a thought-provoking look into the world of the 1/3 profile in human design profile, exploring the themes of weakness to strength, bonds broken and made, and the pursuit of expertise and excellence in one's expertise.

Hello, hello, hello and welcome. I am so excited today to speak with you about the one three Profile and Human Design in traditional human design. This is known as the investigator Martyr, or in my world I like to call this the researcher, experimenter, your inner thirst for knowledge and discovery through experimentation and exploration ignites evolution to the foundation that the human experience is built upon. Honor your yearning for knowledge and balance that yearning by getting your hands into your explorations. You are here to move your research forward and discover something new. You oscillate back and forth between research and experiments. The power of your research and experimentation is here to change the game in order for you to live your highest expression, balance your yearning [00:01:00] to research with your desire to experiment and experience. So let's dive into the one three. So I have a lot of one threes in my world and I always feel really honored about that because this profile, the one and the three, is in the lower hexagram.

So that means it's a personal profile. It doesn't necessarily need anybody else but one. Threes really have this thirst for knowledge. And so they'll work with people because they believe that they can learn from them. And one three s are really here to become experts. They're here to have sort of this a niche expertise. These are not typically people who are jack of all trades. They're people with a very specific niche set of knowledge that they've really worked hard to develop. And I say worked hard in air quotes. It's they've spent a lot of time researching and they've spent a lot of time experimenting. But it's important to understand that for a one three, to actually step in to alignment with their profile, they first and foremost really have to have their basic needs met. They met. They have to feel sort of secure. They have to feel safe.

And I always think of this sort of as the Maslow's hierarchy of Needs. A one three has to have those first two levels of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs met in order for them to step into a place where they feel safe to actually go and research and investigate and do their thing. And once they go and they eat, eat, eat, eat, eat all this knowledge, they will then move into this place where they take that knowledge and they go and they experiment with it, and they kind of oscillate back and forth. So they take this knowledge and they go and they say, okay, let's go experiment with this. Let's go see if we can kind of push this knowledge forward. And it's important to understand that for a 13, they move from this place where they sort of feel weak or not confident around the information that they have.

And there's always a little bit of this on ease until they move into this position of strength. So the themes here are not safe and safeweakness to strength for that first line. And then for that third line, it's like bonds, broken bonds made rejection allegiance. But the thing to remember that as a one three, these are people who have an inwardly focused process. They don't necessarily need other people in order to live out their life. Their focus mostly on themselves, their focus mostly on their process. And I always like to say a one three in particular is like, I'd always rather have too much information than not enough. And the reality is once these people have a sense of security, they are self providers, they are independent, and they are absolutely empathetic and they always sort of try to be creative. They always aspire to be creative.

And the reality is they're open to learning from others and they'll seek others to learn from so that they can move into this position of authority. Because that's really what the one three strives to do. The one three wants to move into this position of I'm the authority, I'm the expert in this space because they're really here to establish a foundation or I always like to say they're sort of here to establish the industry standard for what is expected. I always think of it, here's a really detailed foundation that is probably a some sort of one line profile, but particularly a one three that has tested it and tried it. And the reality is when we have the one, the researcher, and the three, the experimenter, when those two lines come together to create the profile, the one is on that mind side and the mind makes sense of the world through investigation, through acquisition of knowledge.

And then the researcher, that researcher, that investigator needs that foundation in order for them to feel secure, in order for them to feel confident, in order for them to move into this expertise or this expert role where they can actually build that foundation. While the third line in the body side and the subconscious side, this is the experimenter. They want to go out and get into the world and experience all that life has to offer. And they really want to kind of learn by fire. They want to get their hands into things. My one three manifestor son, he is always like, I can't wait to get my hands in this. I just can't wait to get my hands dirty. And inevitably in true third line fashion, he always bumps into something or somebody bumps into him.But the reality is this profile is here to do both research and experimentation.

I always think of this as this scientist. The scientist has done all their research, they've done all their homework, they have all this knowledge, and then they move into the lab to test this knowledge to see if it's true. They do some experiments and then they go back to that baseline of knowledge. And then they discern, is this knowledge legitimate? These are people who are constantly trying to poke holes in things. They are trying to make sure that there is this sense of security and a solid foundation because it is only when that foundation, that solid foundation is developed, can the one three truly step into their expertise. And the challenge that's really over always ever present for a one three is like, do I have enough information? Because I see a lot of one three s, they, I need more and more and more and more information.

And the reality is that yes, you probably do need more information and you might need to move into experimentation. I always ask my one three, this is a question, how do you know when you will have acquired enough information, right? Because the reality is the one that first line in this profile will always want more information, but that third line will always want to jump into things. And so there's definitely this balance here that you have to strike when you have this one three profile. And the reality is confidence and strength comes over time for you as a one three, as you sort to start to feel security and safety and you start [00:08:30] to see yourself as the expert, as you gain more knowledge, as you gain more repetitions. I think of this in the coaching world, a lot of one threes will always stay in this place of, I got to read another book, I got to take another course.

But they don't ever actually go work with clients and apply the thing. They're just like, I need more textbook knowledge and I'm not dismissing textbook knowledge. And also at some point, this third line has to actually [00:09:00] move into experimentation in order to actually integrate that knowledge. And the reality is the one three has this deep desire to move the world forward, to move, to create a better foundation for the world. And this profile exists to establish whether or not the foundation is valid or not. Whether the hypos hypothesis is true, and [00:09:30] this is not. The people said it and forget it. These are people who are in this constant evolution and they may feel like their work is never complete because they study, they study, they study, they experiment. They're like, okay, well this is true. This is not true. This is not true. Let me go back and add to this research, right, challenges with this profile because they're almost intention with one another.

The ones I just want to sit and read a book, and the three is like, let me go belly flop into the pool. And so there can be a lot of insecurity and imposter syndrome that comes with this. And the reality is the one three needs uninterrupted alone time so that they can move from this position of weakness into this position of strength and so that they can actually dive into their process. And they really do have to honor the timing of their life of as to when they've acquired enough knowledge. I see this a lot with my one three son. He'll be like, I'm going to go read a book on X, whatever it is. And then he'll be like, all right, now I'm ready to go do it. He does this a lot with Pokemon, right? He'll like Go research all of the different stuff about a particular Pokemon and then he'll leverage that Pokemon in his Nintendo game.

And I'm just using that as an example, but I see it play out more and more. There's sort of this balance where if he has that baseline of knowledge, he can more easily move back and forth. Or for example, when he started playing basketball, he's like, okay, I want to research all the different techniques in basketball. So he would research it and then he would go play, and then he'd research it and he'd go play some more. And there was this sort of back and forth that happens very naturally for him. And the reality is many one, three children were typically punished because of that third line trial and error bumping into things. And therefore, as they come into adulthood, that shakes their confidence. That third line kind of bumps into things, has things happen, doesn't mean to, particularly on the body side. I notice when the three is on the body side, there tends to be a lot of clumsiness, and it could be clumsiness for the person, clumsiness for the person with someone in their ecosphere.

I see this with my one three son and my two four son. My one three son is constantly bumping into my two four son. And the reality is he can't help himself. My one three son, that's how he moves about the world. He moves through in this experimentation and he moves through in trial and error. And so it's important for you to understand that if you're a one three adult, you may not always feel safe to step into that experimentation. And it's often as a result of the fact that you know, were pushed to do too much too soon. Early on, you weren't allowed that research time, or alternatively, you were punished or scolded or discouraged because you know, bumped into this was a real thing that happened in my house. You bumped into your brother and he split his head open. And eventually that happens enough times where it leaves you with this residue of, I don't feel safe to step into the experiment of this.

And I feel much safer if I just sit and read the book. But the reality is, as a one three, you have to kind of honor that oscillation of back and forth because that's optimal for you to step into alignment. And one of the things I always encourage people with a one three, regardless of age, is to share. To share what did you learn? What did you learn from this thing that you just did, whether you were studying or you were out on the field of play? Because the reality is, when you ask a one, three, what did you learn from this? It allows them to start to synthesize their research with their explorations. And particularly for children, this really helps make them feel safe to be able to do both things. And as adults, as you're in your deconditioning process, this can also help you give you that feeling of confidence,help you move from this place of weakness to strength.

Because you'll start to see and feel more confidence because the fact that your failures as a third line are really just experiments where you go, you learn something and you take it back and you move that information forward, you move that body of work forward, and you absolutely develop a better foundation. And that is really what you are here to do. You're here to step into a position of authority, to be the expert and to really move the foundation forward, to create a more secure foundation for everyone else based on your own research and experimentation. And so I think one of the things that's important to remember here is that at its high expression, these are people who are incredibly artful and amazingly empathetic and incredibly creative because they have this potential to discover all of this stuff because they kind of oscillate back and forth.

And at times they may be resistant to advice from other people. They may be stubborn, stubborn as well. So when a one three, if you have one threes in your life, that's an honor because they've chosen you to learn from. They really value your expertise because it's helping them move from this position of weakness to one of strength. But sometimes if a one three is resistant to your advice, I, it's often because they want to want to and need to experience it for themselves because they have to take what they've learned and they have to integrate it. And that's really the challenge here with this profile. So you have to have time that is both spent in research and investigation, and you have to have time that is both experimenting out in the world, getting your hands dirty, getting into it. Because the reality is, as a 13, you are here to sort of take charge and provide for yourself, and that's really where you're going to get your wings, and you're going to build your confidence and your strength. So I'm going to leave you with just a few questions to ask the one three profile, what did you learn or take away from this? Tell me about whatever it is you're researching, what are you going to try next? What is it going to take for you in order to feel ready to move forward? And where in your life might it be time to take action? So thank you so much for tuning [in to the one three Profile, the Investigator Martyr, or as I like to say, the researcher experimenter.
