In Reply to: Is my wife a 6 or a 9 posted by Bonehead on June 22, 1998 at 19:08:30:
: HELP! Try as I may I can't seem to type my wife. I think she's a 9 (warm, gregarious, helpfull, negotiator, bonds with people for life, great counseler, has a calming and healing demeanor) , but she acts alot like a 6 (constant questioning, doubtfull, sketical, detailed bargaining). She tested on the RHETI as a 2, folowed by 9 and 6.
First things first. Does she have any ideas? This is more important than any test, or my opinions.
Secondly, she sounds to me like a Six; she creates a safe environment by creating a loyal and friendly group of
people. The Nine traits you list seem to me compatible with Six, the Six traits seem definitive of Six. I'd put
her, based on the limited information that you've given us, as Helen Palmer's Survival subtype of Sixes.
Sixes are the most various of all the types; I'd expect a Six therefore to get slightly lower scores on tests.
Women in our society are almost certainly to get artificially high scores on Two.
