Type Six Subtypes - An Overview 

So beautiful that you are really trying to understand him☺️ I am a 6 sp and what I need the most and what I needed the most in childhood is being listened to - and maybe also someone who believes in me and that I have some power in me. Also if I feel that the people I care about are there for me when I get reactive - and understand that I am making things “bigger than they are” out of fear, I will tend to feel very safe and open out about my fears.

The subtypes are separate from the core type and trifix fixations So you are SP dominant in all your tritype numbers according to Katherine Fauvre. It looks like 2 SP/SX/SO for example 6 SP/SX/SO 9 SP/SX/SO Your instinctual subtype doesn't change it goes dominant/healthy/blind spot. Your middle number shows up most in the tritype because it influences the other two numbers so you'll look like a 6ish 2 or a 6ish 9, 6 will stand out more and you can often mistype as a 6 when really you maybe a 2.

@@jacquesjoyeaux716 I got a second enneagram coach thinking I'm a Sp 9, and a third thinking Sp 6. All of these people typed me for free. I'm a public school teacher and I'm out for the summer, so I'm trying to pass time doing enneagram without spending a lot of money.

@@pointerdogmarketing2197 6s are very versatile as a type, they can appear as all the types as can a 9. However when a 6 mistypes they can think they are either a 4 or a 2 or a 9. Some counter phobic sexual 6s often think they are type 8 because they go against their fears or suppress their anxiety. 1s, 2s and 6s have an inner critic, however the difference is that the 6 will have a committee of critics, it won't be just one voice it will be several. Does that sound more like you? If you are also considered SP 6 you will come off as kinder than other sixes, the SO 6 is all about rules and is very aware of the socialsphere, where as SX 6 is pack related they have their 5 or 6 close friends and that's it, where as a SP 6 will have maybe 1 friend, partner or just a pet. If you are interested since today is Tuesday, head over to www.reddit.com/r/Enneagram/new/ because they do type people on Tuesdays there.

I don't think you'll find your answer with a coach. Probably from within yourself. One day it may just click and you'll be sure.
