Hey everyone, 👋 I was just recently introduced to the Enneagram personality system and just discovered that I'm a Type 6 with a 5 wing (6w5). I’m finding it both fascinating and enlightening. It’s impressive how much it resonates with my traits, tendencies, and perspectives. As someone keen on personal growth, I'm interested in understanding more about it. 🧠✨ For all you seasoned 6w5s out there, I was wondering if you might share some insights or personal experiences that align with this personality type? How has knowing your type and wing impacted your personal growth? Are there any recommendations you would have for a new 6w5 like me about managing stress, fostering relationships, or pursuing careers? What resources would you recommend for further reading or understanding? I appreciate your insights! Thank you in advance. 🙏🌟
