On the down side, their “us against them” thinking can turn into bigotry, paranoia, and “playing the martyr.” On the up side, these are people with a strong moral compass they can be counted on to do the right thing. This subtype could possibly find themselves in jobs such as with the police of firefighting force, and in such professions where it is possible to identify with a group which has clearly defined rules and purposes. Their allegiance is not to individuals but to a group of like-minded others. This is the result of their lack of a close connection to people (a function of the undeveloped sexual instinct). ![]() They have issues with authority, such as distrusting reactively or trusting too vehemently. Adhering to rules is seen as very important to this type. Conversely, they can counterphobicaly oppose groups. This time, the social instinct combines with the self-pres to give this subtype a strong desire to know where they fit within the group, with whom they can make strong alliances. This type appears One-like also, but for different reasons. They are drawn to intensity, and are likely to overcome fear in order to engage in adventures.(This is especially true with the Seven wing.) Social/self-pres 6 While mainly phobic, their counterphobic nature shows in their sense of fun. They are less outwardly fearful than the self-pres/social. Their issues with security are focused on their loved ones their anxiety is closely tied to the pulse and feedback of the people closest to them. The self-pres is looking for safety and alliances with others, usually in a “going towards” fashion, but at the same time, the more assertive energy of the sexual instinct can manifest in a more counterphobic stance. The stance with regards to political or social concerns can vary wildly within this subtype. With the social instinct last in their stacking, this subtype can have a natural distrust of the social dynamic, especially when they fear it threatens their self-preservational concerns. Their alliances to groups and authority can be quite conflicting. They are concerned about how they are seen sexually. The differences revolve around the fact that they find their security more in their ability to attract a mate. They also can appear One-like in that way. This type shares with the self-pres/social stacking the need to keep their environment in order. It’s not generally an overt confrontational testing, but still, testing others is always an essential element in determining who becomes a trusted friend or romantic partner. Does the other person have the best interests of the Six at heart? They question other’s intentions. These alliances with others foster a “going towards.” This stance usually involves a testing of others to make sure that they are safe. Security to the self-pres/social Six is generated by connections with other individuals or groups. The self-pres in the Six brings a focus on security. In relationships, when healthy, they are very loyal and trustworthy. They can exhaust themselves from worrying. This stacking is the most visibly anxious Six. On the down side, they can become frozen with anxiety. They get things done before they become a problem. ![]() This type is usually very independent and proactive when it comes to the details of life. They can appear like enneatype One in their ability to get things done, their organizational style, their sense of duty, and their loyalty. Family and traditions are often very important to them. They would rather feel comforted by the safety of like-minded individuals. It’s not so much that they can’t be counterphobic it’s just not where they locate their security. This type is the least counterphobic of the instinctual stackings of type Six. The self-pres combines with the social instinct in such a way that the Six looks to find security in alliances. This subtype of Six is generally warm and friendly. ![]()
