Hi everyone! This is scary. My first post.

I've been really interested in the Enneagram for a few years and feel pretty sure that I am a Six. I never really got into MBTI because I always got 'ISFJ' when I took quizzes and it never really resonated with me...I just figured the system was broken or there was something wrong with me. But I recently took a quiz again for the heck of it and got ISTJ. And what I have read so far is really resonating with me!

One thing I'm wondering–I've read how ISTJs are such rock-solid people. But then the Type 6 seems so...fragile. I don't mean in a bad way, but they're unsure, questioning, etc. I never really thought of them as so solid, but I do see other ways in which the two types really mesh well.

Curious for your thoughts!

I prefer "cautious" to "fragile". It's true; I do sometimes overthink how things can go wrong and then overplan for them but the upside is that I'm very frequently prepared so that things seldom do go wrong.
