Subtypes of 6
- Sp 6 -
Sp 6s are the most fear driven subtype. They see the world as a very dangerous place and so will put in lots of effort to relieve this fear. They may do this by trying to create an atmosphere of safety. This can be done by seeking out resources and reliable people and relationships who can provide protection. This type can be pessimistic as they always think about what can go wrong first. They don't mean to be a downer though - they just want to be prepared for any bad situation.
- Sx 6 -
Sx 6 is a counterphobic subtype. This subtype can be a little aggressive and rebellious. They take an offensive stance against fear rather than letting it run their life. They can exaggerate certain qualities of themselves in order to appear attractive. Sx 6s may put others through a series of trust tests before deciding to truly open up and depend on them.
- So 6 -
So 6s fear being excluded. They find safety being included in communities or big groups in general. They want to play an important role in society in order to have some sense of control and security. Being very committed and conscientious individuals, they also expect the same from others. This subtype also tries their best to be seen as trustworthy and reliable. Although usually skeptical of others, they can be very supportive and loyal when their trust is earned.
