Beyond Your Number
Subtype Layers: Type 6
Enneagram Type 6 subtypes are all about safety and security, and they look very different depending on the instinct. In this episode of Beyond Your Number, Damon and Kelly break down the self-preservation, social, and one-to-one Type 6, including why Six often gets confused with other types and how motivation clarifies what is really going on.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What drives Type 6 (safety and security), and how loyalty flows from that
- Self-Pres 6 at home, routines, stability, and when “checking” becomes anxiety management
- Social 6 in groups, values, systems, and how they relate to rules and authority
- One-to-One 6 as the intense protector (and why it can look like an 8)
- Why 6 can get mistaken for 2 or 8, and how to spot the difference by motivation
Subtype quick reference:
- Self-Preservation 6: Defender of the Home
- Social 6: Guardian of the Community
- One-to-One (Sexual) 6: The Warrior
