Type One: The Reformer (The Perfectionist)
Type 1s are principled, disciplined, and driven by a strong sense of right and wrong. They strive for perfection and are often critical of themselves and others when things don’t meet their high standards.
Integrity, order, and moral values are important to them, and they often take on a role of correcting what they see as wrong in the world. They value self-control and responsibility.
