: I thought that another problem 6's have is following beliefs blindly whether or not they make sense--this came out in the 1 vs. 6 threads. It seems that your definition of standing firm might play into this.
I don't think Sixes follow beliefs blindly. Eights might. Sixes may follow a party line or rebel
against a party line but they do this because it provides them with a supposedly safe course of
action. When acting on their own Sixes procrastinate as they doubt whether any of their beliefs are
watertight. Sixes are happiest when going along with a group - safety in numbers, a hundred of us
can't be wrong, etc.
