# Inclusive Design Research > Plain-English education on Human Design — a popular self-reflection framework, not a scientifically validated system — covering types, strategy, authority, centers, profiles and gates, with direct paths into somatic healing and licensed therapy for people who want to go deeper than a chart. Educational only — never a diagnostic, medical or psychological tool. Inclusive Design Research is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent guides. Content is educational only — not professional advice. Part of the R0cketShip network. ## Explore - [Human Design basics](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/explore/human-design-basics): What Human Design is, where it comes from, and how to read a chart for the first time. - [The five types](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/explore/the-five-types): Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor and Reflector — what each means day to day. - [Strategy & authority](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/explore/strategy-and-authority): The decision-making half of a Human Design chart, and how people apply it day to day. - [Centers, gates & channels](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/explore/centers-gates-and-channels): The nine centers and how gates and channels combine to shape a chart. - [Profiles & compatibility](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/explore/profiles-and-compatibility): Profile lines and how composite charts are used to compare two people's designs. - [Is Human Design science?](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/explore/is-human-design-science): An honest look at Human Design's origins and why it isn't a scientifically validated system. - [Human Design and deeper self-work](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/explore/human-design-and-self-work): Where Human Design ends and real therapeutic or somatic support begins. ## Specialties - [The five Human Design types](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/the-five-types): Generator reading, Manifesting Generator reading, Projector reading, Manifestor reading, Reflector reading - [Strategy & authority](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/strategy-and-authority): strategy explanation by type, inner authority reading, decision-making coaching - [The BodyGraph & nine centers](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/bodygraph-centers): center-by-center reading, defined vs. open center explanation, conditioning pattern education - [Profiles & lines](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/profiles-and-lines): profile reading, line combination interpretation - [Gates & channels](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/gates-and-channels): gate interpretation, channel interpretation, defined-channel reading - [Relationships & family design](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/relationships-and-family-design): connection (composite) chart reading, parent-child design comparison, partner compatibility reading - [Self-reflection & emotional patterns](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/self-reflection-and-emotional-patterns): journaling prompts by type, emotional-authority awareness practices - [Career & work design](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/modalities/career-and-work-design): work-style reading by type, career-alignment coaching ## Who we help - [People new to Human Design](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for/new-to-human-design): a plain-English starting point before paying for a full reading - [People who've felt fundamentally different](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for/feeling-different-all-their-life): language for feeling unlike the people around them - [Couples & families](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for/couples-and-families): to understand recurring friction with a partner or child - [Chronic overthinkers](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for/chronic-overthinkers): a decision-making approach that isn't just more analysis - [Burned-out professionals](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for/burned-out-professionals): to understand whether their work fits how they're built - [People already in therapy or somatic work](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for/already-in-therapy-or-somatic-work): a self-reflection layer alongside the clinical or somatic work they're already doing - [Skeptics curious anyway](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for/skeptics-curious-anyway): an honest answer on whether Human Design is scientifically validated before they try it ## Key pages - [Topics A–Z](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/topics) - [Answers](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/answers) - [FAQ](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/faq) - [Full knowledge base](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/llms-full.txt) - [HTML sitemap](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/sitemap) - [Get matched](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/find) - [Guides](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/providers) - [Programs & events](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/events) - [For guides](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/for-practitioners) - [Safety](https://inclusivedesignresearch.org/safety)
