Type 1s of the Social subtype take their desire for perfection beyond their personal sphere, focusing on how they can be a positive force for change in society. This orientation grants them a unique role, where they seek not just to belong to a community but also to transform it for the better.
Social Type 1s see themselves as pillars of morality and community values. They tirelessly dedicate themselves to finding and implementing ways to infuse their ideals of justice and equity into the social fabric. This mission gives them a clear purpose and direction in life but also faces them with the challenge of accepting that social change is often slower and more complicated than desired. The internal struggle between their idealized vision of society and tangible reality can be a source of frustration and disillusionment.
At their core, Social Type 1s are driven by a vision of a fairer and more equitable world. Their commitment to this vision not only shows their desire for external perfection but also reflects a deep internal aspiration towards growth and self-improvement. The balance for these individuals lies in learning to recognize and celebrate the small achievements on their path to social change, understanding that absolute perfection might be an ideal, but progress and transformation are attainable goals and, most importantly, valuable.
