SIXTH ENNEAGRAM TYPE (Skeptic) Explained: Career, Strengths and Weaknesses

Representatives of the sixth type are most prone to doubt and indecision, which is why they are called Skeptics.

People of this type possess a unique ability to see through others, consider various perspectives, assess risks, and envision different potential outcomes. Although it may seem like pessimism, the term "realist" more accurately describes such individuals.

You can engage in a debate with people holding any point of view and present an opposing opinion. You often hesitate, fearing that you might choose the wrong option. This becomes apparent during conversations when you say, "On the one hand, it's like this, but on the other hand, it's like that..."

Trust is tremendously important to you. However, you don't easily place your confidence in anyone; instead, you first test potential friends. If they pass this "test," they will find a loyal, lifelong friend in you.

People of your type often have friends from early childhood! You are loyal to your social circle and family, and it's difficult for you to introduce changes in your relationships with loved ones. Equality is another one of your values. You never brag about your income and prefer simple clothing. You possess a keen sense of justice, supporting the weak and fighting for the rights of those who have been wronged.

Additionally, you have a unique sense of humor, combining cynicism and provocation. Sometimes, you may make a joke or a comment that makes others want to throttle you. This is your way of building trust and, at the same time, undermining the excessive authority of some individuals.

Your unconscious motivation is the fear that there's no one to rely on and trust and that absolute safety doesn't exist. Often, you don't acknowledge this fear, admitting only to mild anxiety.

Given this, you have two options: either anticipate all possible consequences and difficulties or face your fear head-on. The ability to overcome your fear energizes you and awakens your zest for life.

Fear is the root cause of all your doubts, decision-making difficulties, and skepticism, not only in others but also in yourself.

THaving trustworthy, time-tested people by your side helps you relax. Your worries and skepticism fade away. You can spend all day playing with children, chatting with friends, or lounging on the couch doing nothing.

However, if you find yourself in a situation where there is no time to consider all the circumstances, you may become very stressed. This could lead to you acting impulsively without thinking things through.
