Enneagram type 6 compatibility: best with type 5. Type 6 in our sketch is the guardian, the one who checks the weather, packs the first-aid kit and asks the question everyone else forgot. Sixes are often pictured as loyal, alert and good in a crisis, trusting slowly and then completely. On the diagram 6 sits in the middle of the head center with wings 5 and 7, and inner lines join 6 to 3 and to 9 in the central triangle. In our scores type 6's best matches are its two wings, 5 and 7, both in the same head center. The triangle lines to 3 and 9 come next. Types with no link and a different center — 1, 2, 4 and 8 — score lowest.
