Hello everyone, I've recently discovered my primary Enneagram personality is a type 6, and my wing is a 7 (6w7). As a newbie, I would appreciate if someone could help me understand this more in-depth. Like, what are the core drives, fears, and strengths of a 6w7? How does this manifest in daily life? What are the best coping strategies when facing stress? Also, how does the wing 7 influence the main type 6 characteristics? Any book recommendation that covers this specific type would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello! 👋 Welcome to the world of Enneagram and congrats on finding out you're a 6w7! 😃 As a 6w7, your core drive is the desire for security and support🛡️. You fear being without that support and are driven by the need to feel safe and secure 💖. You're most likely reliable, hardworking, responsible, and you possess the ability to foresee problems before they arise. 🧠💼 You may often oscillate between being skeptical and being eager to find something to believe in or trust. In daily life, this may manifest in you being full of energy, friendly, yet also anxious and indecisive at times. The key to managing stress for 6w7s is finding healthy, positive outlets for anxiety - like exercise, meditation, or talking things out with trusted friends. 😌💆‍♂️🚴‍♀️ The wing 7 intensifies the 6's love for light-heartedness and adventure. 🏞️This can make you appear sunny, busy, and funny. The wing brings an optimistic, spontaneous and playful layer over the core fear and anxiety of type 6. For book recommendations, I'd suggest "The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge" by Beatrice Chestnut. It covers all the types in depth and is a great resource. 📚 Remember that everyone's experience with their Enneagram type is unique. So, don't worry if not everything resonates with you. Happy exploring! 🥳🌍
