ENTJs are confident, assured, and quite daring. When compared with the Enneagram of Personality, some identify as the ENTJ 6w7.

This article discusses the ENTJ 6w7 and what you can expect from them.

Who is the ENTJ 6w7?

Thus, ENTJ 6w7s might look and behave like an ESTJ. Because of their wing, they are usually cheerful and adventurous.

Type 6 is a common Enneagram type for all MBTI types. While this is true, its presence, combined with its wing, changes some typical traits of the ENTJ, as we shall soon see.

ENTJ 6w7s are more likely to be assertive than turbulent.

What is the Core Desire of the ENTJ 6w7?

The core desire of the ENTJ 6w7 is to be safe. They try to avoid any form of instability in their lives. To achieve this, they take fewer risks.

What is the Core Fear of the ENTJ 6w7?

The core fear of the ENTJ 6w7 is to be left vulnerable by the decisions of others or their own decisions. Thus, this personality type approaches life cautiously.

How the 6w7 Changes the Natural Tendencies of the ENTJ

1.   Less Daring

ENTJs are courageous people. They take calculated risks and tend to achieve much more as a result. ENTJ 6w7s are different. They are more likely to hesitate even when taking a calculated risk.

This has cons. One of them is that ENTJ 6w7s are usually not as innovative as typical ENTJs. They might also not be as successful as other ENTJs. This is also not necessarily a bad thing as they can achieve better work-life balance.

2.   More Loyal

ENTJs often go hard for their loved ones. This goes to another level with the ENTJ 6w7s. They are more protective and care a lot about them.

This might be hard to notice as they often have a lot of acquaintances. Nevertheless, their close friends are precious to them.

3.   Slightly More Impulsive

The presence of type 7 means there’s an element of impulsiveness in the ENTJ 6w7. This is not the same with typical ENTJs, who are often disciplined.

Thus, ENTJ 6w7s will have streaks of recklessness. This can be enhanced if their defense mechanism is counter-phobic. In other words, ENTJ 6w7s might attack a problem out of fear. When this happens, they usually don’t objectively think about the consequences.

4.   Slightly More Extroverted

ENTJs are introverted extroverts. This means that while they get their energy from external interactions, they also have a limited social better. ENTJ 6w7s are just slightly more extroverted.

This is possibly driven by their wing and their desire to achieve security or stability.

5.   More Respectful of Authority

ENTJs are non-conventional. This means that they usually place little value on rules and norms. Just like other intuitives, rules are meant to be broken.

ENTJ 6w7s are different. They have more respect for authorities and rules. They believe that these rules keep people safe and secure.

While this is true, ENTJ 6w7s are still ENTJs. Thus, they can smell a bad rule a mile away.

6.   Slightly More Traditional

This follows the last point. ENTJ 6w7s are more traditional. They are more family-oriented and might enjoy spending holidays with their loved ones.

While this is true, their wing ensures that they remain adventurous.

New Weaknesses of the ENTJ 6w7

1.   Fearful

Types 6 and 7 are in the fear triad. This means that they access fear first as an emotion. While this is true, these two enneagram types have different approaches to fear.

Type 6 can be phobic (withdraw from fear) or counter-phobic (attack out of fear). Type 7 will withdraw or distract themselves from the situation.

Counter-phobic ENTJ 6w7s will look a lot like ENTJ 8w7s. The key is identifying how you really feel just before becoming aggressive. Do you feel fear or anger?

2.   Distrustful

Type 6s are often called loyal skeptics. This is because they can be very distrustful. This is also true of the ENTJ 6w7.

They find it hard to trust people. This also means there’s a degradation of their extroverted thinking (Te) function. Thus, ENTJ 6w7s might remain paranoid even in the face of undeniable evidence.

3.   Less Disciplined

The presence of type 7 as their wing means the ENTJ 6w7s won’t have the same levels of discipline.

Thus, they’ll be moments of complacency or just sheer laziness. The extent to which this applies depends on the strength of their wing.

4.   No in Betweens

ENTJ 6w7s will often leave their lives on the extremities. They are either bold, aggressive, courageous, or scared, timid, and intimidated.

Thus, it might seem like ENTJ 6w7s have two different personalities wrapped in one. This does not refer to their outward appearance but how they feel internally.

ENTJ 6w7 in Love/Compatibility

Are you married or dating an ENTJ 6w7? Here are some things you can expect.

1.   Love Languages

This refers to the way a person prefers to give or receive love. ENTJ 6w7s will have acts of service and words of affirmation among their top three love languages.

This means that this personality type will enjoy getting reassurance from their partners. They might also feel loved when their partners help them out.

While this is true, everyone is different. To be sure, make your partner take the official love language test.

2.   Compatibility

ENTJ’s natural partner in the MBTI is the INTP or ENTP. In Socionics, it’s ISFP. Type 6 is compatible with all Enneagram types.

Thus, ENTJ 6w7s have some options to pick from. Regardless, any two mature people can make a relationship work.

3.   Be Honest

As mentioned earlier, ENTJ 6w7s are skeptical and distrustful. The fastest way to make them distrust you is to lie to them.

So, be honest even when it’s difficult. It’s better to tell them the truth when they ask. Sometimes, they might already know and might just be testing you.

Just do the right thing.

4.   Encourage Them To Dare to Believe

While all ENTJs are innovative, ENTJ 6w7s might be more timid about taking risks. If you are with an ENTJ 6w7, instill self-belief in them.

Make them bold and ready to conquer the world. Your efforts will yield results.

ENTJ 6w7 in the Workplace

ENTJs are great at managing and organizing people. ENTJ 6w7s are the same. The difference is that they are more likely to value stability in the workplace. So, they might not be as innovative as typical ENTJs.

ENTJ 6w7s do well in remote, hybrid, and more traditional work environments. While this is true, they’d prefer a job that challenges them.

Ensure their role involves some creativity to get the best out of the ENTJ 6w7.
