3s Say: “I'm almost always busy. I tend to put work and projects before other things. I like competition. I try to present myself well and make a good first impression. Financial security is extremely important to me. I believe in doing things as expeditiously as possible. I hate to see jobs undone or projects fail. I tend to be an optimistic, friendly, and upbeat person. I'm not interested in opening-up and talking about my personal life. Leave me alone when I'm doing my work.”


Root Emotion: Anger Masking Hurt

The gift of the 3 is the ability to focus on a product or a goal. Many have ideas or strivings, but 3s reach their goals and want approval for what they’ve achieved. They make lists and often have lists of their lists. They have chores for others and can get annoyed when others want to relax before the goal is accomplished. They have an extraordinary ability to see everything that is necessary for the goal to be completed. In addition, 3s have a heightened sense of image and competition. They know what looks good and are uncomfortable with mismatches.

Fear of failure can drive 3s.  Thus, the frantic agitation in pursuit of achievement, status, or applause. Confuses her identity with what is achieved: “I am what I do.” Driven: "Don't just stand there, do something."
