subtyped.me exists to explore how people think, relate, and move through the world. It's a space for typology, self-understanding, and practical tools that help people make sense of their inner patterns in a way that is clear, useful, and human. The work is built around an original framework called **Pattern in Motion**, which maps four lenses — Drive, Posture, Shadow, and Arc — and treats people as dynamic beings moving through loops, relationships, stress, and change rather than as static "types."

subtyped.me offers a low-cost written Pattern Snapshot, one-on-one consultations, a self-typing workbook, and a paid community space. It is run by Violet McCleod.

**Important:** subtyped.me is not a replacement for therapy or psychiatry. It supports user autonomy and offers guidance based on cultural and typological pattern recognition, not clinical treatment.

## What is Pattern in Motion

Pattern in Motion is subtyped.me's original self-understanding framework. Rather than telling you what you *are*, it shows you what's been *running* — so you can decide what to do with it. It has four lenses:

- **Drive — what fuels you.** The ache behind your choices. The three core drives are:
  - **Care** — the pull to connect, protect, restore.
  - **Clarity** — the need to understand, map, and make sense.
  - **Justice** — the fire to correct, challenge, defend.
- **Posture — how you move.** The style your energy takes in action. The three postures are:
  - **Nurture** — tending, soothing, supporting.
  - **Build** — structuring, iterating, creating steadily.
  - **Intervene** — disrupting, sparking, reacting quickly.
- **Shadow — where you get stuck.** The trap each drive twists into under strain.
  - **Overgiving** — care collapsing into exhaustion.
  - **Rigidity** — clarity hardening into obsession.
  - **Destruction** — justice pushing too far.
- **Arc — the repeating story.** When drive, posture, and shadow combine, they form a loop. The arc is the larger story that loop tells — the lesson that keeps showing up until it's learned.

Zoom out and the same melody plays through every part of life. The meta-pattern sounds like: "I keep building without asking if it matters." "I care until I burn out." "I get rigid when I'm uncertain." "I destroy what I was trying to save." Pattern in Motion gives those loops language so they can be seen, named, and shifted.

## Who it's for

People who already sense something is repeating — in their relationships, their work, their responses under pressure — and want a framework that actually fits, not another box. Especially useful for people who've tried MBTI, Enneagram, or other typology systems and found them too static.

## Who it's not for

People looking for a clinical diagnosis, a quick personality quiz, or a replacement for therapy. The work is reflective and frame-giving, not therapeutic.
