Dynamics of Type 6: Skeptic World View: The world is a threatening place. I need to look to authority, but I question it. Basic Desire: to be secure Basic Fear: of being abandoned Healthy loop controlled by Basic Desire: Need to be secure -> loyal -> security -> Need to be secure In the healthy state, the need to be secure induces Type Sixes to be loyal to others, especially the authority. This increases their security among others, which satisfies their need and a balance is reached. In the average state, when Sixes' are not not being so loyal to others, they start to feel insecure among others. This increases the need to be secure, which helps Sixes to again seek out authority and become loyal to it, or become more loyal to others around them. Thus the balancing loop can help Sixes to recover. Unhealthy loop controlled by Basic Fear: Fear of being abandoned -> distrust others -> security -> Fear of being abandoned In the unhealthy state, the basic fear of being abandoned can cause Type Sixes to become suspicious of others and start to distrust others. This reduces their sense of security, which further increases Sixes' basic fear. The cycle continues to build up. Insight: We can see from the diagram that a way to help break the control of the basic fear is to weaken the unhealthy loop. Sixes can refrain from distrusting others, and begin to be more loyal to others. This will make them feel more secure, thus reduce their fear of being abandoned.
