Sixes easily tune into potential danger and risks, acting on a sense of anxiety, and think in skeptical ways. They value trust, responsibility, and loyalty and need to feel they are safe and belong. At lower integration, they may be paranoid, reactive and insecure as loyalty turns into dependency and over-sensitivity. At higher integration, self-reliant and grounded Sixes give confidence to those around them, resiliently coping with risk.

Sixes have a lot going for them. They are great at saving, great at preparing for the unknown, but they have some blind spots as well. Today Grant and Jeremy talk about the loyal skepticism of people who relate with Enneagram Sixes. In the second half of the podcast, Jeremy interviews his friend Ben Coberly about being a six and being an avid board game enthusiast.
