Your response from earlier makes a lot of sense and definitely makes me think Iâm more of a Ti since I know for a fact Iâm a type 6 enneagram. Would you mind discussing some of the ways being a type 6 might express itself among the various functional doms (i.e. a Ti or a Te ect.)
It kinda works the same for everyone, in that fear and self-doubt (if I cannot trust myself, I cannot trust you, therefore I must challenge, question, and analyze what you say, waffling between over-reliance and trust issues with you), butâŚ
Ti/Fe: self-doubt, seeks consensus / outer opinion, will often poll people to find out what they think then do what they concluded anyway, tendency to play devilâs advocate and mess with people, but also more Fe development out of a desire to be âbe liked.â Anxiety / uncertainty tied to being liked / low Fe desires.
Fi/Te: pushes aside feelings more than other FPs, doubts, questions them; anxieties about firm decisions and factually-based outside logic, but can self-doubt and question things that are less tangible or able to be âprovenâ by the outer world, lots of anxiety about relationships; warm, others-focused, cares about peopleâs feelings, doesnât want to isolate or offend them.
Te/Fi: more likely to cope with anxieties using facts / adherence to logical structures and outside principles, can be over-sure to compensate for doubts, knows how exposing their âin fluxâ self-doubts can hurt them in the workplace, so keeps it hidden / internal, lots of anxiety about low Fi concerns (self-expression, being able to get in touch with oneâs feelings, oneâs relationships with others).
FeTi: fears and over-focus revolve mostly around relationships and connections, lots of anxiety about making logical decisions on their own (due to low Ti), over-thinking and endless ruminating, depending on the aux-function (Se/Ne) either endless pursuit of alternative possibilities (Ne) or impulsive action followed by remorse (Se).
Ne/Si: tends to go to war with the optimism and idealism of Ne, creating a back and forth flux between 6 pessimism and Ne hatred of pessimism; lots of questioning, never finding true answers, endless rumination (unless the Ne uses a strong judging function), stinted ability to make and stick to a firm decision due to fear of making the wrong one (even after the decision is made, Ne continues generating various alternative choices and other potential outcomes). Lots and lots of anxiety related to low Si â awareness of oneâs limitations in details, over-checking at work that relates to detailed information.
Si/Ne: finds comfort in sameness, routine, dislikes change or uncertainty, likes to plan things out in advance and know what is coming, not good with not knowing these things, some apprehensions about the future, may stick to what they know and/or are talented at rather than taking risks. Anxiety related to low Ne concerns â unable to sense who to trust or not, fears of being irrational or not-grounded, sometimes fear of pursuing their dreams.
Ni/Se: tends to doubt / mistrust oneâs own perceptions and question them far more than other NJs, continues shifting perspectives to see it from various potential ways, can struggle to take risks or move out into the world (low Se), lots of apprehension related to Se concerns (being unable to react in the moment, see opportunities and take them, making a fool of themselves in public because of this, etc). Wants to take time / consider every possible outcome in making decisions and get the big picture before they proceed; much concern about âruining my future.â
Se/Ni: struggle between wanting to experience the world and all its sensory richness and learn through âdoingâ and self-doubt about competency, wanting to experience things in a âsafeâ way, less reckless or impulsive than many of the other SPs, concern and security focused, anxieties center around low Ni (being suspicious of things that seem too âout thereâ or unrealistic, denying anything that isnât tangible, or going too far the other way and becoming suspicious, distrustful, and developing paranoid theories and/or conspiracy theories).
The different 6s will respond differently, of course, to external threats; the phobic 6 backs down and uses avoidance, is warmer and more eager to be liked, but also somewhat withdrawn (sp); the social 6 finds âcertaintyâ in something outside themselves (logic, faith, politics, a belief system) and thus seems âtoo sureâ (soc); the cp6 attacks what they fear (can be more ârecklessâ especially in the SP types due to high Se intensity / fists-first problem solving); the sexual 6 often morphs into becoming a desirable person of their gender in order to attract others and be appealing to them (think Marilyn Monroe and her sexiness).
