Bridget is a would-be yuppie; E6's often have great ambition but fail because of lack of self-confidence (ironically the same reason they become ambitious; need to prove their worth for themselve; contrary to E3's whose ambition is externally motivated; need for applause). Bridget's existence is urgency-driven; E6's try to keep the worry out of their heads by frantic interaction. She's indecisive about what dress to choose, she desperately wants a friend that would stick with her (E6's can make you mad by their perennial worry often their worry extends to your business, and they want to force you to do things their way; not a good base for a relation for most partner-enneatypes!)Her self confidence has an all time low: 'Oh, why am I so un-attractive?' She makes me think of Woody Allen. She has the same clumsyness; buying books and forgetting to read them, getting lost in the city by impulsively driving her car, can't find the button to turn off the car alarm. Her paranoia is projected on the people around her; so she gets agressive feelings towards them. She's the same kind of softening personality as Mr.Bean. This scatterbrain often feels hopeless. She worries about her biological clock running out of time, makes to-do-list in order to try to keep her existence under control; point 4 is 'letting Daniel think I am a stable person' (this statement excludes E4); but she erases this 'to do' because of her girl friend Shazzer's advice (dependent): 'the only thing a woman needs today is herself'. This is the tragedy of E6: they want to be a hero; over-stretch themselves and this in turn confirms their (too) low self image.
