Are your wings helping or hurting you? - Type Six

Season #2

In this episode, Kelsey Taylor interviews Enneagram Sixes, Jake Fraliks and Amy Ames on their wings. In the context of the Enneagram, your wings are the two numbers directly adjacent to your primary Type.

 

The 6w5 is known as “The Defender” and these two combinations are congruent in their approach to find security through information. The Five leans heavy on research to gain understanding while the Six leans heavy on research to feel prepared. When healthy, this Six is knowledgeable, resourceful, and grounded.

The 6w7 is known as “The Buddy” and this merger is often in conflict with each other.  While the Six is cautious and reserved, the Seven is spontaneous and impulsive. When healthy this Six is very playful, witty, and likable. They are adventurous and allow themselves to get out of their comfort zone.  They are a devoted friend who enjoys having fun.
