Overview

Type Sixes, the Loyalists, are warm, dedicated, and vigilant. They’re motivated by a need for safety and reliability, which makes them deeply loyal and hardworking partners. In relationships, they offer steadfast support, a keen sense of responsibility, and the ability to anticipate potential problems before they arise.

Underneath their dependability, though, Sixes wrestle with fear and self-doubt. They scan for danger, question their own judgment, and sometimes overthink to the point of anxiety. Growth for Sixes means learning to trust themselves and their partners, and to act even when certainty isn’t guaranteed. When they do, they become some of the most courageous and supportive partners on the Enneagram.
