[Type 6] I don't want to start a thread *angry face*

...but I'll do so anyway.

I understand sixes are 'diverse'. They either the grumpy old geezer who hates it when people cross their lawn. They are the socially petty who explode on a friend for not meeting them on time for a party. They are the planners who make sure they do everything correctly so they don't get fired or whatever.

Well, I usually don't totally relate to these descriptions (but I know that I can be one of those people try to get all As the first time around so I can slack off later if I want to ;D )

But, I relate most strongly to this description, it's from this site: http://www.enneagramcentral.com/Enneagram/Subtypes/Subtype Six Intimate.htm

The feminine counterpart of this is beauty. The understanding is that if I am beautiful enough, I will not be attacked. Beauty does not get destroyed nearly as quickly as ugliness and beauty is valued. For many women, too, beauty is extremely valuable in gaining protection from powerful men.

But artistic endeavor is another route to beauty. intimate Sixes will often see arts and crafts as a way of shutting down the committee in their heads. Further, art is way of non-verbally reaching beyond what they can think. There is a sense of having reached the end of what they can figure out, they reach into painting or drawing or music to reach a level of integration they can't quite accomplish just by the compulsive think they are so often plagued with. They will often report long periods of peace - in their case freedom from fear - when they are engrossed in artistic endeavor.]

...Yes. Yes. Do you yes this too?

Note: I am NOT saying that I am a hot momma physically

That's an sx or "sexual six," as opposed to a social or self-preservation. That's your variant. I'm self-pres, my stack is sp/sx/so.

I like the descriptions on that site, they're some of my favorites.

Within this subtype there is a tendency to develop strength, either inner or outer. Sixes are often quite disciplined anyway - it is a type of defense at times. So within this subtype you often find body builders and martial artists. The discipline it takes to become a martial artist is fueled by the belief that if I become strong enough, I won't have to worry about someone or something attacking me. In fact, at the pinnacle of martial arts is the learning how not to have to fight. The motivation is self-defense, not aggression or competition, as it would be within an Eight or Three Enneagram style.

....damn, I am cp6 winged as fuck....
