Type Two
We call Type Two the Helper because people of this type are either the most genuinely helpful to other people or, when they are less healthy they are the most highly invested in seeing themselves as helpful. Being generous and going out of their way for others makes Twos feel that they are fulfilling their life's mission. Twos are most likely to be involved in some kind of service to others, whether it be through their careers, volunteer work, or relationships.
What are they like?
They are typical givers, happy to help others, always attentive to others' feelings and emotional changes, habitually taking initiative to help and care for others to meet their inner needs; they will also change their words and actions at others' request to accommodate them. In other words, in the eyes of Type Two, others' needs are more important than their own, and they can sacrifice everything to meet others' needs. This extreme altruism actually hides extreme egoism. Type Two wants to control others by helping them, in exchange for others' recognition. Therefore, once Type Two's help is rejected, they will feel unrecognized and thus feel they have no value of existence, always feeling very painful.
Personality Development Levels
All types have strengths and weaknesses: Some parts of your personality work well, while others may hinder you from achieving your ambitions and goals. The extent to which this affects you is not fixed, these changes in your strengths and weaknesses are called development, and are divided into three stages: healthy, average, and unhealthy. Ideally, the goal is to develop yourself into the healthy category and pay attention to the signs that you are slipping into the unhealthy category. Once you have identified these, you can improve your strengths and learn to make up for your weaknesses, thereby making you a more fulfilling and successful self.
