what do sixes look like?Type six people care more than most about safety and security. They can become trapped by compulsive anxiety, or by compulsive counterphobia. One of their talents is an intuitive ability to sense whether someone is telling the truth.
Except in rare cases, people of type six show a flavoring from one of the two adjacent wing points, so we can say they are six with a five wing (6/5) or six with a seven wing (6/7).
Like all humans, sixes also come in three instinctual flavors: social (6sc), sexual (6sx), or self-preserving (6sp). In addition, sixes also experience nine distinct levels of mental-emotional health (briefly described by the phrases at the top of this page). Therefore, it is possible to distinguish fifty-four distinct subflavors of type six.
Sixes are also influenced by the connections shown as colored lines in the diagram above.
