The 6/3 profile (Role Model / Martyr) is one of the twelve profiles of Human Design, a modern esoteric system originated in 1987 by Ra Uru Hu and presented here as a contemporary framework rather than ancient wisdom. A profile is formed from two of the six lines, a scheme the system borrows from the six lines of an I Ching hexagram and reads psychologically: the profile pairs a conscious line with an unconscious one to give an archetypal role. The 6/3 profile joins the roles named Role Model / Martyr. The line names and their meanings are Human Design's own twentieth-century reading, not a claim inherited from the Chinese classic whose six-line figures suggested the structure; they are described here as the system presents them, not as verified fact.
Human Design describes the sixth line, Role Model, as living a three part life, resembling trial and error through roughly the first thirty years, withdrawing into a more detached, observational phase often called being on the roof through about fifty, and only afterward settling into the line's objective, lived wisdom; the third line, Martyr or Adaptor, is described as learning throughout life by direct trial and error, discovering by getting things wrong what actually works. The 6/3 profile is therefore described, in the system's own framework, as doubly shaped by trial and error, since the sixth line's own early phase already resembles the third line's habitual mode, and the eventual shift into role model authority is held to arrive only once both layers of trial and error have run their course.
