6w7 - Page 2

I think alpha SFs are almost exclusively 6w7 fixers. If it's not their main type, then it's probably in their trifix.

of course that says nothing about other types that are 6w7 fixers.

what? you mean that its their main type?

if so, LOL, no.

if you meant fixers as working as relaxers for said enneatype, thats a different matter

Well there's 6w7s, like you, and then there are those with 6w7 in their trifix, like me. 6w7s lack confidence in their own thought process, so they look to others for guidance. I think that's a natural alpha SF thing.

Again, this says nothing for other types that are 6w7s. There are many ways to express 6w7, but alpha SFs I think all have that in common.

lol, I dont really delve into the whole trifix thing. theres more to the 6 than just lacking confidence in their thought proccess, thats pretty common across the board for anyone at one time or another. I mean I guess, tbh I have a hard time seeing it. I think your taking bits and pieces of info out of context, and I can see how it would apply, but lets take one alpha sf - isfp - who generally tend to be 9s. The amount of analyzing I do, and that sixes I know or am familiar with do, is generally incomparable and incompatible with their life philosophy.

thats what Ive found to be true as of now, anyway.

well if you don't want to get into trifix, then don't worry about it. When I say "6w7 fixers" I mean "either 6w7 as main type or 6w7 in trifix". So I'm thinking that a SEI that's 9w1 would have 6w7 in their trifix. Plenty of SEIs have 6w7 as main type too.

I've tested as a 6w7, sx/sp I think.. I read that instinctuals can make a big difference. I don't really see myself in someone like Michael Cera or Zack Galifawhateverhisnameis.. other than I can be pretty unsure of things. Maybe on a good day I'm funny about it, but it comes natural to them it seems.

SLE 6w7 sx/sp...

Henry Rollins?

Kaz · 04-14-2010, 01:24 PM

Heh..maybe. Henry's pretty awesome yet neurotic in a way, I know that much.

In a way they are their own worst enemies. 6w7 is supposed to be one of the most likable type. They consciously make themselves seem nonthreatening and unimposing.

What are your experiences like with 6w7s?

My mother is a primarily phobic 6w7 sp/so and she comes across as very likeable and nonthreatening just as you mention. She worries alot about societal norms and what the general public thinks of her. She worries alot about physical safety-- things like walking in the dark alone at night and driving in the rain. She's terrified of going to certain websites for fear of identity theft. She refuses to get a Facebook account, for example, even though you can adjust your privacy settings so that only selected people see your stuff.

She's got a wonderful sense of humor and likes to gently tease other people she knows well and feels comfortable with. She is highly intelligent but she isn't all that intellectually oriented.

OK, I'm glad I'm not that. Sounds more crippling than anything I experience. I'm sx, and have some paranoia sp-wise, but I think I'm mostly counterphobic. In some respects, I'm not. I barely hit up some areas at night anymore, after getting a gun pulled on me. Fucking buzzkill. Before that, I was counterphobic, but I've regressed.

Electric Sheep, you like them so much because they´re your integration points - a kind of 'dual' in the Enneagram system, except that integration is not necessarily the best match for love affairs although this happens often. I mean, your integration point is someone you will feel very good with, but the person will be pulled to his/her disintegrating point.

in this example you´d push that person towards point 3 which would probably ruin his/her life, but you would get better because you´d get more characteristics of point 6 which is your integration.

electric sheep · 04-16-2010, 03:13 AM

hmmm where did I say I like them? I've had serious problems with a few very cowardly 6w7s. My old roommate being one of them.

The only thing I told him was to stop beating himself up over little shit, to chill the fuck out and stop turning everything into a big argument. Yes, I'm sure I ruined his life.
