What are the Three M’s?
New to ING energy? Start with understanding what ING energy is before diving into the 3 M’s framework.
Knowing your ING type is just the start.
Understanding your unique ING energy happens through three dimensions. These are called the M’s of ING energy: Measure, Mastery, and Maturity.
The free quiz discovers your likely ING type in five minutes. But to know for sure, you need the exclusive assessment in the book.
For the complete picture of your ING energy mix, the discover ING energy course gives you percentages. You see your Measure for all 7 types. Your Mastery percentage for each. And your Maturity score.
You can also self-assess using the book to understand where you are with each M.
Here’s what each M reveals:
- Measure: How much of each ING type you naturally have (you can’t change this)
- Mastery: How effectively you use each type with others (you develop this)
- Maturity: Why you’re using your ING energy and for whom (you grow this)
The critical truth: Less Measure with high Mastery and Maturity beats high Measure with low development.
You don’t need a high percentage to be fulfilled. You need to develop what you have.
Simply knowing your type won’t make you whole. You’ll feel fulfilled when you develop your Mastery and grow your Maturity.

The 3 M’s show you how to move from recognition to transformation.
MEASURE: The First of the Three M’s of ING energy
Measure answers one question: How much of each ING type do you naturally have?
This isn’t about how much you wish you had. It’s about recognizing your actual capacity.
Your Measure is the quantity of ING energy flowing through you. It’s your natural design. You were born with it.
Here’s what most people get wrong: They think having a high Measure of a certain type means automatic fulfillment. It doesn’t.
Measure simply reveals what you’re working with. It’s the raw material of your identity.
Think of it like this: Some people have a high Measure of give ING energy. Others have very little. Neither is better or worse.
Why Measure matters: Your highest Measure indicates your ING type. It shows you which of the 7 types reveals where and how you find fulfillment.
Your Measure explains why certain situations energize you while others drain you completely.
The truth about Measure: You can’t change it, and you don’t need to.
Trying to increase your Measure is like trying to be taller. Your ING energy is what it is.
The freedom comes when you stop struggling against your natural design. You stop trying to be someone else’s version of successful.
What Measure reveals:
- Which ING type you are
- Where you’ll find fulfillment most naturally
- Your natural strengths and tendencies
- Why you respond to situations the way you do
Measure is your starting point. Not your destination. The first of the 3 M’s of ING energy helps you recognize what you’re naturally working with.
Your highest Measure indicates your ING type, but you’re a mixture of all 7 types.
MASTERY: The Second of the Three M’s of ING energy
Mastery answers one question: How effectively are you using your ING energy with others?
Knowing your ING type is one thing. Using it well is another.

Mastery shows the gap between your intention and your impact.
You might have high Measure of teach ING energy. But if people feel lectured instead of helped, your Mastery is low.
You might have strong lead ING energy. But if people feel controlled instead of guided, you’re not using it effectively.
Here’s the key insight: Mastery is about how others experience your ING energy.
It’s not about you. It’s about them.
What Mastery reveals: Are you helping or overwhelming? Are you clear or confusing? Are you serving or draining?
Mastery grows as you learn to apply your natural strengths in ways that actually benefit others.
The difference Mastery makes: Two people can have the same ING type with the same Measure. One lives fulfilled. The other struggles constantly.
The difference? Mastery.
High Mastery means you’ve learned how to use what you have effectively. You understand timing, delivery, and impact.
Low Mastery means you’re operating from your ING energy but missing the mark with people.
You can develop Mastery: Unlike Measure, Mastery grows. You learn. You adjust. You improve.
You become more aware of how your ING energy lands on others. You refine your approach.
As your Mastery deepens, your fulfillment increases. Not because you changed who you are. Because you learned how to be yourself effectively.
Mastery is the bridge between knowing your ING type and living as your Truest Self™. The second of the 3 M’s of ING energy transforms recognition into skillful application.
Mastery transforms recognition into skillful application.
MATURITY: The Third of the Three M’s of ING energy
Maturity answers one question: Why are you using your ING energy?
This is where everything changes.
Maturity reveals whether you’re acting from love or fear. For others or for yourself.
You can have high Measure and high Mastery but still be immature. And immaturity always shows up in your attitude.
Here’s what immaturity looks like across the 7 types:
- Type One – perceive ING: Everyone needs to hear my opinions.
- Type Two – serve ING: I need to feel needed, so I enable others.
- Type Three – teach ING: I love learning but don’t share what I know.
- Type Four – encourage ING: I can’t be alone with myself.
- Type Five – give ING: My needs matter more than those I love.
- Type Six – lead ING: My processes are more important than people.
- Type Seven – mercy ING: My emotions stop me from making right choices.
The heart of the matter: Maturity isn’t about how much ING energy you have. It’s about why you’re using it.
Are you serving others or serving yourself? Are you motivated by genuine care or personal need?
Look at your heart’s attitude. Peel back the excuses. Be honest.
An immature attitude comes across as: Fear-based. Selfish. Self-serving.
Your heart’s attitude is visible to others whether you examine it or not.
Growing in Maturity reveals your well-being: Maturity shows you how to establish healthy boundaries for yourself and others.
You stop using your ING energy to get something back. You start using it to genuinely help.
You stop needing validation. You start offering value.
This is where true well-being lives: When you use your ING energy in healthy, mature ways to enrich the lives of others.
Not performing. Not proving. Just being fully yourself AND fully useful at the same time.
Maturity is the difference between knowing who you are and becoming who you were meant to be. The third of the 3 M’s of ING energy reveals whether you’re using your design for genuine service or self-protection.
Growing in Maturity means learning to establish healthy boundaries. Discover how to set boundaries with your ING type so you can serve others without draining yourself.
Maturity reveals whether you’re using your design for genuine service or self-protection.
How The Three M’s of ING energy Work Together
The 3 M’s of ING energy aren’t three separate paths. They’re one integrated journey.
Measure shows you what you have. Mastery shows you how to use it. Maturity shows you why you’re using it.
Recognition leads to development. Development leads to Mastery. Mastery combined with Maturity leads to fulfillment.
The critical insight: Having less Measure with high Mastery and Maturity beats having high Measure with low development every time.
It’s not about how much you have. It’s about how well you use what you’ve been given.
When all three M’s of ING energy align, the struggling finally stops. You start living as your Truest Self with healthy boundaries and genuine impact.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Three M’s of ING energy
How do the 3 M’s of ING energy work together?
They work in progression. You can’t master what you don’t measure. You can’t mature what you haven’t developed. Each M builds on the previous one to create your complete ING energy picture.
Can I skip a step in the 3 M’s?
No. Trying to develop Mastery without understanding your Measure is like building on sand. Attempting Maturity without Mastery means you’re using your ING energy ineffectively, even if your heart is right.
Which M is most important?
All three matter, but Maturity transforms everything. You can have high Measure and high Mastery, but still use your ING energy immaturely. Maturity reveals whether you’re serving others or serving yourself.
How do I know my Measure for each ING type?
The free quiz shows your likely ING type. The exclusive assessment in the book helps you know for sure. The discover ING energy course gives you exact percentages for all 7 types.
Can I change my Measure?
No. Your Measure is your natural design. You were born with it. The good news? You don’t need to change it. Less Measure with high Mastery and Maturity beats high Measure every time.
How long does it take to develop Mastery?
Mastery is a lifelong journey. You’ll see improvement as you become more aware of your impact on others. The more you practice, the more effective you become at using your ING energy.
What’s the difference between Mastery and Maturity?
Mastery is skill (how well you use it). Maturity is motive (why you use it). You can be highly skilled but still immature if you’re using your energy for selfish reasons.
Do I need high Measure to be fulfilled?
No. Fulfillment comes from developing what you have, not from having more. Someone with 30% Measure and high Mastery/Maturity will be more fulfilled than someone with 80% Measure and low development.
How long does it take to develop Mastery?
Mastery is a lifelong journey, similar to developing expertise in any skill. You’ll see improvement as you become more aware of your impact on others. The more you practice, the more effective you become at using your ING energy.
What’s the difference between Mastery and Maturity?
Mastery is skill (how well you use it). Maturity is motive (why you use it). You can be highly skilled but still immature if you’re using your energy for selfish reasons. Research on emotional maturity supports this distinction between capability and character.
Your identity IS your purpose.🤞
