Type 6
The Faithful Guardian
Type 6s are people who anticipate life’s dangers. When healthy, they have faith, are courageous, loyal, and effective. When struggling, they are cowardly, hyper-vigilant, and paranoid.
What drives a Type 6 to think, feel, and behave in particular ways?
Core Fear:
- Feeling fear itself, being without support, security, or guidance; being blamed, targeted, alone, or physically abandoned.
Core Desire:
- Having guidance, security and support.
Core Weakness:
-
Anxiety—scanning the horizon of life and trying to predict and prevent negative outcomes (especially worst-case scenarios); remaining in a constant state of apprehension and worry.
Core Longing (message they long to hear):
- “You are safe and secure.”

Type 6s
At Their Best & At Their Worst
When we know, trust, and believe we are Christ's beloved child, we will live more freely in his grace at the healthier levels. When we believe we are on our own, we move down the levels of development.
Healthy 6s
Healthy 6s take their anxieties and insecurities to God knowing that he is able and faithful to take care of them. They know, believe, and trust that God is good to his children. This knowledge allows them to place their trust in him instead of trying to predict and control life on their own. They understand that there is never certainty of safety and security on earth, but they do know they can trust that God will always be there to love, provide, and protect them.
6s on Auto-Pilot
When 6s begin to forget that they are Christ’s beloved child (safe and cared for), they begin to move into the average levels. Since they forgot how loved they are in Christ, they believe they are alone and need to scan the horizon for dangers and for people who might harm them.
Unhealthy 6s
Their whole world at this level revolves on being on the lookout for dangers around every corner. They forgot that they are Christ’s beloved child and that he cares immensely for them.

What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram (Ennea=9, Gram=Diagram) is simply a map for self-discovery and personal growth. The diagram describes the 9 basic personality types based upon their unique ways of relating to the world.
The Enneagram accurately and clearly describes why you think, feel and behave in particular ways based upon your core fears and core desires.
The power of the Enneagram is in its ability to harness and transform self-defeating behaviors into life-enhancing personal empowerment. The gift of the Enneagram is that through self-discovery, one can create and sustain meaningful and lasting relationships with others, God and themselves.
