I appreciated this Podcast with a good summary of the nine types. I get the feeling that you are quite extroverted. Introverts do need space and it is difficult. I am a 5 (actually a social 5) and I gather energy during the day and during the week. So I have had to show my co-workers that later in the day I will have answers; but not the next day. I think it is valuable to see that some 6's have an active counter-type. One sister is married to a regular 6 and the other to a counter-type 6. The other counter-tyes are more subtle. If you have masses of introverted ones, five, and sixes on a project, My extroversion has been able to pull people together.
