What is Type 6 on the Enneagram test?

 Type Sixes, known as "The Loyalists," are the committed, security-oriented personalities of the Enneagram. Driven by a need for stability and certainty, Sixes often find themselves preparing for the worst-case scenario. They are the defenders of the community, always on the lookout for threats, which makes them highly vigilant and alert to danger.


Sixes are reliable and hard-working, often placing the welfare of others above their own. They value systems and structures that provide safety and can be incredibly loyal to their workplaces, friends, and beliefs. However, this loyalty comes with a questioning nature; they are prone to challenge the status quo to ensure its reliability and integrity.

Type 6 Work Preferences

 

Type Sixes thrive in work environments where they can feel secure and supported. They appreciate clear expectations, consistent rules, and reliable leadership. Sixes excel in collaborative settings where teamwork and dependability are valued. They prefer structured tasks with specific guidelines, and they work well when they have contingency plans and backup systems in place.


In the workplace, Sixes bring a strong sense of duty and an innate ability to anticipate problems, making them excellent planners and strategists. They often become the backbone of their teams, offering support and a level-headed perspective.


Strengths of Enneagram Type 6:

Type Sixes are the bedrock of any organization due to their loyalty and dedication. Their ability to remain vigilant against potential problems makes them valuable assets in risk assessment and management. They are team players, often fostering a spirit of camaraderie and support among their colleagues. 

Weaknesses of Enneagram Type 6:

  

 Their tendency towards anxiety can sometimes hinder Sixes' ability to trust their own decisions, leading to procrastination or a paralysis of action. Their skepticism, while often helpful, can sometimes come across as confrontational or contrarian if not balanced with trust. 

Potential careers for Type 6:

 Type Sixes often gravitate towards careers that allow them to provide support and ensure stability. Ideal careers for Type Sixes could include:


  • Emergency Services Personnel (Police, Firefighters)
  • Healthcare Professionals
  • Legal Professionals
  • System Analysts or Administrators
  • Human Resources
  • Education and Social Work

Type 6 Wings:

 Wings are the neighboring personalities on either side of a main personality type on the Enneagram. They can influence an individual and modify their core traits, either enhancing or subduing them. A person's wing is determined by which of the two adjacent personality types they score the highest on.    


The personality types that appear next to Type 6 on the Enneagram are 5 and 7.  
 

Type Six Wing Five (6w5):

The 6w5 brings a more analytical and detached approach to the typically communal Six. These individuals often combine their need for security with an interest in systems and understanding. They may be less openly expressive but incredibly perceptive, often finding roles in technical analysis or behind-the-scenes support.


Type Six Wing Seven (6w7):

The 6w7 introduces a more playful and adventurous energy to the Six's personality. While still concerned with safety and support, these individuals may seek it through more varied experiences and social engagements. They are often more optimistic and can be excellent motivators for their teams.

In the tapestry of "Together The Winning Team," Type Sixes are the steadfast guardians, whose dedication and foresight create a secure foundation for innovation and growth. They teach us the value of loyalty and preparedness, ensuring that as a team, we can face any challenge with confidence and unity.
