Enneagram 6, The Loyalists, also has the reputation of being the devil’s advocate. But what does it really mean? What are the things you need to know if you are a Six or you know someone who is a Six?
Part of season 2 of the show is deep diving into each Enneagram type, and I want to start with The Loyalist, Enneagram Six. In this episode, I will talk about the traits of Sixes, their core motivation, and their core fear. I will share what a healthy and unhealthy Six looks like and show up. I will also share Enneagram Six’s wings, types, defense mechanisms, and subtypes.

The Healthy and Unhealthy Enneagram Six
“Sixes are sometimes called the devil's advocate. They can be very skeptical, but they are committed, responsible, faithful.”
“At their absolute best, Sixes are very energetic, dependable, and honest. But when they're not in a great space, they can be very anxious and self-doubting, indecisive, unable really to trust themselves.”
“Sixes are in the head triad with fives and sevens, and the main emotion associated with that triad is fear. And for Sixes, this comes up in them as anxiety mostly.”
“Leaning into one wing more than the other is not a good thing. I want you to know that the wings are there to help you.”
“There are two sides to a type six: phobic and counterphobic. Both struggle with anxiety, but their reactions to that anxiety they feel are so different in the way that they outwardly express it.”
“You don't have to sugarcoat it with a Six because they're kind of always, almost, always, already picturing the worst-case scenario.”
“Projection is when a person unconsciously attributes their own unwanted and unacceptable thoughts, feelings, motives, whatever, behaviors onto others.”
