The Investigator & The Loyalist
Both are Head Center types driven by different flavors of fear. The Five manages fear through knowledge and withdrawal; the Six manages fear through loyalty and vigilance. Together they can create a thoughtful, deeply considered partnership, or a fortress of anxiety.

Watch For

Growth Tips
For the The Investigator (Type 5)
Reassure the Six proactively. Brief, consistent check-ins cost you little but mean everything to them.
For the The Loyalist (Type 6)
Trust the Five's silence. They're not hiding things; they're processing. Ask once, then give them time.
The Key Insight
