One of 9 Enneagram types

Type 6: The Guardian

Prepared for what could go wrong.

You scan for risks so that nobody gets caught out. You ask the awkward question, you plan for the bad day, and the people you commit to can rely on you completely.

The same radar can run too hot. You may doubt your own judgement, look for reassurance, or swing between trusting people and testing them.
