Enneagram 5w6s are very intuitive people, with the ability of reading others to remain always an action ahead. They are rational and logical; and love to think about new ways do things. And they get it done well too. Each goes all in in regards to decision-making. Which doesn't mean they take risks. They will actually thoroughly analyze the scenario and take every possibility into account before taking any steps. Jumping into the void it's not their style.
Both types with this mix are both members of the Head Triad. So, they take things seriously and tend to overthink them. They're spontaneous when facing real-life challenges, but they don't leave loose ends. They connect the dots and seek truth. One of the very distinctive areas of this subtype is they are usually quite smart and clever, and use their intelligence to safeguard themselves and detect possible threats. This permanent alarm state makes them very reactive though and sometimes somewhat defensive too. Despite being independent, they also need love and protection, which could be contradictory. But these opposing forces is what cause them to become shine.
What is an Enneagram 5w6?
Type Fives, solitary, cerebral, and frugal, spend their lives collecting a wealth knowledge so that they may live simply without depending on others. Type Sixes are oriented toward the physical needs of their social groups and families, and they're highly practical. A 5w6 continuously develops practical skills as well as knowledge. Enneagram 5w6 seek to create useful information and abilities to the table to be able to secure their place as a valuable person in the group or team. 5w6s tend to be more collaborative than other Type Fives, although their basic concern with letting the group down often keeps them from assuming leadership roles.
This is actually the most observant, methodical, and analytical type. A 5w6 brings a calm, rational method of any situation and they eagerly tackle challenging problems, often integrating important details that most would overlook (think Sherlock Holmes).
Enneagram 5w6 Strenghts
Enneagram 5w6 strength arises from their purposeful means of living. Because they are always trying to find meaningful things to accomplish, they acquire knowledge in various areas and know when and how to apply it. They are curious and goal-oriented, so they master new regions of expertise and easily stand out. They completely reject the notion of wasting their time, that's for sure. In this thirst for knowledge, dwells a restless anxiety that keeps them up and cautious of everything around them to prevent getting lost or feeling threatened. This sensitivity combined with their amazing creativity makes the 5w6 a really determined and analytical kind effective at establishing changes with methodical and strict rules.
Enneagram 5w6 Weaknesses
Enneagram 5w6 biggest weakness relates to the anxiety we mentioned before. As they're constantly cautious and fully aware of their surroundings, they get thin-skinned and reactive. Their strong self-protection instinct makes them suspicious. While they love their independence, sometimes they draw far from others and get too introspective, which makes it hard to allow them to interact with colleagues and co-workers. All here is the perfect condition to allow them to isolate even more and increase their anxiety levels. When uncontrolled, this might drain all their energy and creativity making them insecure.
Conclusion
5w6 Enneagram types inherit most of their personality attributes from Fives. However, certain characteristics of Sixes will be clearly evident. It's impossible that the exact same traits show up in every 5w6 Enneagram individual. Rather, every person is comprised of a different configuration of the qualities. However, they will probably present with a lot of the characteristics of their dominant Enneagram type.
The principal wing isn't the only personality influencer of 5w6 Enneagram types. The integration (or growth) and disintegration (or stress) Enneagram types also need to be factored in. Again, every person will display some, not totally all, of the characteristics, and every case requires individual investigation.
