6: The Loyalist

6: The Loyalist – The Need for Safety

• Strengths – Dependable, Consistent, Stable, Reliable, Conscientious
• Pitfalls – Catastrophizing, Anxious, Doubtful, Indecisive, Worrisome
• 6w5 – The Guardian
• 6w7 – The Confidant

Loyalists are motivated by their fear that the world is dangerous and are looking for stability in their routines, friendships, and chosen communities.  6s are devoted friends and incredibly dependable.  They are the least likely to embrace change and as a result, are not likely to change their circumstances unless forced to do so.  Loyalists can find potential threats in anything, which can be helpful when planning a trip and paralyzing when it goes too far.  

Loyalists likely experienced the world as unstable or unpredictable and ever since are looking for stability and safety at all times.  6s are, at their best, the most consistent friends, colleagues, and community members who keep organizations going.

If 6s wish to grow, they will need to learn how to trust that not everything that could go wrong, will go wrong.  They will need to overcome their unproductive thinking patterns and trust that things can work out.
