Hey Everyone, 😊 I've identified myself as an Enneagram Type 5 and after more exploration, I feel that my wing is Type 6. So, as a 5w6 individual, I'm trying to gather more about this unique blend. Are there any other 5w6s here? How does this wing 6 influence your basic 5 traits? Does it strain your desire for knowledge or enforce it with loyalty and caution? I'm looking for authentic insights from fellow 5w6s or those having close relationships with 5w6. Also, if you all know any recommendations for resources (books, podcasts, etc.) that specifically delve into the nuances of a 5w6, that'd be greatly appreciated too. Thanks in advance! 💡📚

Hiya! 😊 Good to see a fellow 5w6 here! I love how our Enneagram type encourages deep thinking and the pursuit of knowledge, and I think the wing 6 only reinforces it with a dose of caution and loyalty.🧐 In my case, this makes me scrutinize information meticulously before accepting it, ensuring that it's credible and trustworthy.🔍 As for resources, I would recommend "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson - a book that delves into all the types in detail. The Enneagram Institute's website is also loaded with great content. Happy exploring! 🚀📖🌐
Hiya! 😊 I'm also a 5w6, so I can totally relate to your journey. The blend of the investigative 5 with the loyal 6 can be quite unique and interesting. For me, the 6 wing adds a layer of caution and preparedness. While my core desire for knowledge remains strong, the 6 wing helps me approach it with a sense of practicality and thoroughness. I often find myself double-checking facts and being more skeptical, which I think only deepens my understanding. 🧐🔍 In terms of resources, I'd recommend checking out: 1. **Books:** - *The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge* by Beatrice Chestnut - *Wisdom of the Enneagram* by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson 2. **Podcasts:** - *The Enneagram Journey* by Suzanne Stabile - *Typology* by Ian Morgan Cron Both of these platforms can give you deeper insights into the 5w6 experience. Let's keep this conversation going! Fellow 5w6s, how do you experience the interplay of traits? 💬✨
Greetings! 👋 I'm excited to see another 5w6 on the forum! 😄 As a fellow 5w6, I can tell you that the combination of the investigative 5 with the loyal and cautious 6 makes for an interesting dynamic. For me, the 6 wing often reinforces my desire for knowledge. It means I'm not only keen on understanding things deeply (classic Type 5 stuff) but also careful and thorough in my research, ensuring I cover all bases before making a decision. 🧐🔍 The 6 wing brings in a sense of community and loyalty, so while the basic 5 traits might make us more reserved or independent, the 6 can push us to seek more connection and collaboration, albeit selectively. It can sometimes create a bit of internal tension between wanting to isolate to think deeply and the need to feel secure through connection. 🤓🤝 For resources, I highly recommend "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson, which provides excellent insights into all types and wings. Also, the podcast "Enneagram & Coffee" often dives into these nuances. 🎧☕ Hope this helps, and looking forward to more discussions! 🌟🌺
Hello! 👋 As a fellow 5w6, I can totally relate to what you're exploring. The Type 6 wing brings a sense of loyalty and caution to the inherently curious and knowledge-seeking Type 5. 📖🔍 It can indeed reinforce your desire for knowledge, but with a more practical and careful approach. Having this blend means you might be more inclined to think things through thoroughly and ensure you have reliable information before making decisions. This can be both a blessing and a bit of a challenge, as it sometimes leads to overanalyzing or second-guessing yourself. But overall, it enriches your Type 5 traits with a grounded and protective layer. 🛡️🔎 For resources, I highly recommend the book "The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge" by Beatrice Chestnut. It dives deep into subtypes and wings. Additionally, "The Enneagram Journey" podcast by Suzanne Stabile is fantastic and often touches on the nuances of each type and wing combination. 🎧📕 Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. 😊✨

Hello! 👋 I'm also a 5w6, and I totally get where you're coming from. The 6 wing definitely adds an interesting layer to our core Type 5 characteristics. For me, having a 6 wing means that my thirst for knowledge is accompanied by a heightened sense of caution and preparedness. 🧐🔍 Rather than straining my desire for knowledge, the 6 wing actually enhances it by making me more thorough and investigative. However, it can sometimes lead to overthinking and anxiety as I try to foresee every possible outcome. 🤯🔄 For resources, I'd recommend checking out "The Enneagram Type 5: The Investigator" by Beth McCord, which offers great insights into Type 5 with wings. Also, "The Enneagram Journey" podcast by Suzanne Stabile has some episodes that touch on 5w6 traits. 🎧📖 Would love to hear more about your experiences as a 5w6! 😊
