Personality Summary

According to my Enneagram results, I’m a Type 6 – Loyalist, with a 6w5 wing and a social subtype. That basically means I’m someone who values security, likes to be prepared, and tends to be a loyal and steady presence once I feel safe in a relationship or environment. I spend a lot of energy thinking ahead, planning for what could go wrong, and trying to keep things running smoothly for the people around me.

When I think about how this connects to the Big Five personality traits, a few things stand out. I’d say my extraversion is moderate. I’m pretty socially aware and tuned into group dynamics, but not necessarily the loudest voice in the room. Agreeableness is also somewhere in the middle. I’m supportive and cooperative once I trust someone, but I’m naturally a little cautious at first.

My conscientiousness is definitely high. I’m organized, responsible, and I like to feel prepared. I’m not one to wing it. On the flip side, my neuroticism is probably also on the higher side. I tend to worry, overthink, and play out worst-case scenarios in my head (it’s a skill and a curse). As for openness to experience, I enjoy learning new things and asking questions, but I prefer structure and clarity over chaos or big leaps into the unknown.

Employer’s Perspective on Strengths and Weaknesses

From an employer’s point of view, someone with a Type 6 personality brings a lot of stability, reliability, and foresight to the workplace. I’m the kind of person who shows up, follows through, and takes commitments seriously. I don’t cut corners, and I’m usually thinking three steps ahead, trying to identify any issues before they become real problems. That kind of proactive mindset can be especially valuable in roles that require risk management, planning, or attention to detail. I also tend to be highly loyal once I’ve built trust with a company or leader, which means I’m likely to stick around and invest in the team’s long-term success.

That said, an employer might also see some challenges. I can be hesitant when it comes to change, especially if I don’t fully understand the “why” behind it. Because I like to feel secure and informed, I might ask a lot of questions upfront or take longer to adjust to sudden shifts. I can also fall into overthinking or second-guessing myself, especially in high-pressure situations where decisions need to be made quickly.

Still, in a workplace that values transparency, clear communication, and structure, I’d likely thrive. I bring a deep sense of responsibility and a desire to contribute meaningfully, especially when I feel like I’m part of something steady and worthwhile.
