Question: What is the most common Tritype®? Is the 369 Tritype® the most common Tritype®? Why is the 369 Tritype® called the Primary Tritype? Who do the 3s, 6s, and 9s, not see their Type or Tritype®?

Katherine: Yes, the 369 Tritype® is the most common. This is because they are made up of the primary type in each center and as such, they are wired to track behaviors and then adapt their behavior accordingly.

The 3 adapts their behavior to avoid being unimpressive. Instead, they show their best side by giving a good impression and image.
The 6 adapts their behavior to avoid being targeted or blamed. Instead, they show their friendly side to be included and seen as likable.
The 9 adapts their behavior to avoid being separate from others. Instead, they show their easygoing side and will go along to get along.

The 369 Tritype® is the most adaptable type. Through their wing types, they reach all 9 types faster than any other Tritype® which is why they are the 'core' types and core Tritype®. They are commonly known as:

3 is the chameleon, beaver, or peacock becoming the industrious 'ideal' person.
6 is the everyman or everywoman, the boy or girl next door becoming the friendly 'likable' person.
9 is the shapeshifter, an easy-going person becoming the pleasant and 'accepting' person.

The 369s and 369 Tritype®:
The 3, 6, and 9 seem to hide in plain sight so to speak. Why? Because they naturally adapt to people and situations to be admired, to belong, and be accepted.

In your Tritype®, you can have all primary types, all hexad types, or a combination of primary types and hexad types.

The more primary types you have in your Tritype®, the more adaptable and even-keeled you are. The 369 Tritype® has the well-rounded types that have the defense strategies that adapt to succeed. They are the traditional problem solvers but as a result, they are less individualistic.

The more hexad types you have in your Tritype® the more creative and individualistic you are. The 478 Tritype® has the most specialized types that have the defense strategies that are independent.  They are creative problem solvers but as a result, they are less adaptable.

Also:
The more primary types you have in your Tritype®, the closer you are to the core Tritype® of the 369. And as such, the more adaptable and dependent you are on others.
The more hexad types you have in your Tritype® the further you are from the core Tritype® of the 369. And as such, the more individualistic and independent you are.

Mathematically speaking:
The most common Tritype® is the 369. It is at the center and as such, the starting place of all of the Tritypes®.
The least common Tritype® is the 478. It is at the furthest point from the center or 'core' primary Tritypes®.
