thanks for the idea, very interesting!
i thought about 6 just like i thought about all types when i considered but type 6 (and 1) is what i score the least. I can't be more sure I am not a 6 than I am, because I have some 6 friends and their fear of the insecure areas drives me insane.
what you've bolded - least possible effort to get most out of stuff - wouldnt that be opposite of 6? maybe 6s motivation is to get security (aka "most") but my motivation is just to not go through any pain or loss, while getting whatever i can.. so oppsoite of : no pain- no gain. hah
I also feel zero connection to type 9. just that idea of piece - not my thing, and i never (dis)integrate to 9.
also think i am too obnoxious for type 6, all 6s i've identified dont have entrepreneur spirit because they dont really 'dream big' (?) - i am greedy and unrealistic.
and 6 is the most common type in any culture so i think i'd understand society more if i was 6 and fit in better. i jusst remembered my infp-6 friend, she pays so much attention to security that it bores me, like she always thinks what if some catastrophe happens (i started to think like that after dozens of catatrophes happened in my life)
on a + side for 6, i am very anxious person! yeah. and all my overusing of brain stuff points a lot to thinking triad.
8 is out of the question as a main type because i am too anxious to be 8, methinks. i can have an 8-like day, but i am not an 8.
![Huh :huh: :huh:](/data/vbsmilies/huh.gif)
i also dont relate to core issues of 6 and 8.
my core issues are very 7s but 3s part confuse me
and 3 - my wish to succeed is close to zero. i sometimes enjoy competitions to get some thrill of the game and excitment, but it is only for a day, or a week, long term stuff is just out of my question. i have no long term career goals and i despise the word 'career' the most probably out of ALL words! LOL.
i think maybe i thought i am not a 7 because i like to be liked and have a not-small ego haha, but as they say 7s are 'the true narcissist' in enneagram. I also like myself very much and am not nough self-critical, i lie to myself about most stuff that bug me - i think average person would be in my place depressed because i dont have most stuff in life what people value, yet i am far from depressed. sometimes when i see how it all really is i am like "wow, how comee i dont cry all day?" and then i forget about it and keep on. its like i have to remind myself that i am not happy with my life because i am soo much in delusions that things are prettier than they are <- i realise this is probably very 7, dont know how would 6 approach real issues, like weight issue?! :/ probably realistially.. i realized 6s have this mental process where they divide their thoughts into small chunks, so they have more like.. steady thought process, they are quite orderly in their anxieties because i guess they feel secure if everything is covered. (i realised that in that guy ffrom conscious.tv hes a 6 and he sounds like he has a mental list of thingss he will consider). i dont have that, my mind is more chaos and not according to 'secure list'. all in all 6 sounds impossible. but who knows, enneagram - you can find your type after 20 years LOL
