Do both Types use the Inform strategy?

Yes, but in different order. A Manifestor informs before acting — Inform is the whole strategy. A Manifesting Generator responds first, then informs, since their action starts from the Sacral’s yes rather than pure initiation.

Which Type has the smaller population?

Manifestors, at roughly 9% of the population — the smallest of the five Types. Manifesting Generators are the largest single Type, at roughly 33%.

Why does a Manifestor's aura repel and an MG's aura doesn't?

The closed, repelling aura is specific to the absence of a defined Sacral alongside the motor-to-Throat connection — it keeps others at a slight distance so the Manifestor can initiate without being redirected. A Manifesting Generator’s defined Sacral opens the aura back up, enveloping like a Generator’s, just with faster directional shifts.

Manifestor vs Manifesting Generator

Both Types have a motor channeled directly to the Throat and can initiate action, but a Manifesting Generator also has a defined Sacral for sustained energy, while a Manifestor’s motor operates without one.

At a Glance

Defined mechanic	Motor channeled to the Throat; no defined Sacral	Defined Sacral plus a motor channeled to the Throat
Strategy	Inform before acting	Respond, then Inform
Signature (aligned)	Peace	Satisfaction (Peace when informing is clean)

What's the difference between a Manifestor and a Manifesting Generator?

The motor-to-Throat connection is what lets both Manifestors and Manifesting Generators initiate rather than only respond. The difference is the Sacral: Manifesting Generators have it defined, giving a renewable energy source alongside their initiating capacity. Manifestors don’t have a defined Sacral, so their closed, repelling aura is built for single, powerful initiations followed by rest, not continuous output.

How do I know which one I am?

Check the Sacral center on your chart. A motor-to-Throat channel plus a defined Sacral is a Manifesting Generator. A motor-to-Throat channel without a defined Sacral is a Manifestor.
