The framework’s basic structure:
In the Dyadic Type Framework⢠there are four general types of people, known as Wolves, Foxes, Hawks, and Doves. Wolves and Foxes are naturally sociable, while Hawks and Doves are innately reserved.
The framework also identifies eight natural talents people possess: Fighting, Hunting, Dancing, Singing, Painting, Crafting, Gathering, and Tending. Each of us has one, based on the intensity of our masculine and feminine aspects.
The four general types and eight natural talents combine to form 16 specific types of people: Fighting Wolves, Tending Doves, etc. Each type brings with it “superpowers,” or innate strengths and abilities.
