    Default Enneagram type 6w7

    There seems to be something really special about this type. My old roommate was one. It's my head fix. It's supposed to be the *most* human of all enneagram types. They're the least know-it-all of the head fixes and I think that's due to the fact that they have the least confidence. 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?

    You can also tell when I have switched to my 6w7 fix because whatever I write is often very random and confusing. It's like I just gotta get this off my chest, so just bear with me while I say everything that runs through my head.

    Bah, yea because us 5's are inhuman robot/lizardmen who want to logically assrape you with our thoughts.

    I haven't met any, but I've know 7's and 6's.... never been obvious to me that I've ran across a 6w7, but I've considered the combination, and what I'd imagine is that the combination of the loyalty the 6 has with the easy-going positive attitude of the 7 makes the type an ideal person to just hang out with and a fairly intelligent person also, and I believe in some description either 6w7 or 7w6 is known as "the buddy".

    I have never focused alot of attention on this type, but if any one has some additional insights or descriptions they could post in that would be most excellent.

    I think the logic of 5s can seem very detached an inhuman sometimes. That is, once I realized what a 5 was (and that I wasn't one).

    It's hard to explain exactly why they're the most human, I suppose. They're incredibly easy to talk to. They tend to wear all their flaws and insecurities on their sleeves for everyone to see. They aren't trying to impress anyone. They're just so down to earth and real that you can't help but like them. The eternal underdog. Everyone's best friend. Gentle and endearing. The 6w7.

    Mmm. Once in awhile I feel the latent w7 in me pick up. I'd be more socially at ease, and probably less concerned with having an intellectual monopoly in conversations if I was w7.
    The end is nigh

    I just realized Linkin Park is a 6w7 band, or at least the lyrics are very 6w7ish. He sings a lot about his uncertainty and how much tension it creates.

    I'll definitally agree they are Thinking Triad, there is a whole element of angst/dread/anxiety/tension in their music. I am not sure what types the musicians are and I am not sure what exact type most of their music embodies; but I definitally don't see much 7. Seven's are very positive, witty, bright (both mentally and personality), and have a good sense of humour and zest for living - I picture the 7's energy as sort of orange, bright, not neon bright, but smooth and bright, sort of pastel like... Lol I have a new idea for a topic!

    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.

    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.
