These are major generalizations. You might be a certain energy type, but identify with a different one. There are many other aspects to one's human design that can lend them more to other archetypes.
The other factor here is how much any of us are actually living in alignment with our design as we were born to be. Human design teaches us that most of us on the planet are not in alignment with our designs. We may be denying our natural ways of operating.
For example, I am a Manifestor energy type. There are certainly times when I know I initiate new ways of thought for the people around me. And then for the majority of my life, I feel a deep fear of proposing some of the ideas I have in my mind.
This post for example, is a topic that is barely discussed in the world. Combining the wisdom of human design with the world of systems change. Thanks for reading it!
