Organized, disciplined, and determined. These are some qualities of an ESTJ. We respect them for what they bring to any group or organization. ESTJ 6w5 is just one variant of the ESTJs.

This article discusses the ESTJ 6w5 and what you can expect from them.

Who is the ESTJ 6w5?

ESTJ 6w5s are extremely structured people. They are also very loyal with a sprinkle of curiosity. Because of their wing, they have an intellectual inclination. ESTJ 6w5 combines the assuredness of the ESTJ and the balanced nature of type 6 to perfection.

Type 6 is not the most popular enneagram type for ESTJs. That title goes to type 8. However, it’s not also uncommon. One reason why is that type 6 and 9 seems to fit most MBTI types perfectly.

While this is true, it’s bound to change some of the typical traits of the ESTJ. ESTJ 6w5s have an equal chance of being assertive and turbulent.

What is the Core Fear of the ESTJ 6w5?

The core fear of the ESTJ 6w5 is to be harmed or vulnerable. To prevent this, they use their discipline, curiosity, and intelligence to stay protected.

This also extends to their loved ones.

How the 6w5 Changes the Natural Tendencies of the ESTJ

1.   Control+Caution

ESTJs love to have some order in their lives. This is their way of controlling things. 6w5s are big on caution. They want to see the full picture before acting.

ESTJ 6w5 adopts both qualities. So, they use their caution to control what happens and vice versa.

This has some benefits. ESTJ 6w5s will often control their fate simply because they refuse to take unnecessary risks.

2.   More Loyal

Loyalty is the hallmark of type 6s. ESTJ 6w5s is no different. They care a lot about their friends and family. Because they are ESTJs, their care translates directly into action.

So, ESTJ 6w5s will do whatever they can to ensure the loved one’s safety. Sometimes even to their detriment.

3.   Structured Ruthlessness

ESTJs are thinkers. They are also big fans of structure. Type 6s put themselves first. ESTJ 6w5s adopt all these traits. This makes them a bit ruthless.

They’ll react if they believe their structure or world is being challenged. How they react depends on if they are phobic or counter-phobic.

If they’re counter-phobic, their reaction will be swift and ruthless. However, it’s all driven by fear.

4.   Great at Emergencies

Type 6 is the master of emergencies. Here’s why. They are keenly aware of all that can go wrong in every situation. When something goes wrong, it means they are more vulnerable. ESTJ 6w5s are the same.

Thus, they use their extroverted thinking (Te) function to counteract most problems. When emergencies arrive, they react calmly because they already envisioned it.

This might be different if they already have an issue with anxiety.

5.   More Introverted

ESTJs are extroverts. This means they get energized by external stimulation. This slightly changes with the ESTJ 6w5s. They become introverted.

This means that while their need to go out and interact remains, they also need some alone time. It becomes a balancing act for them. This has its benefits. They can hang out with most extroverts or introverts without getting drained.

6.   Super Efficient

6w5s are self-sufficient. They have also mastered doing things without expending too much energy. ESTJs are masters of organization. This allows ESTJ 6w5s to be super-efficient.

They are also organized, meaning they can achieve so much with little time. This allows them to work well under pressure.

New Weaknesses of the ESTJ 6w5

1.   Less Energy

The presence of type 5 means that some of ESTJ’s energy vanishes. Type 5 needs a lot of alone time. They also find peace in reading a book or researching the things they love.

This has some drawbacks. ESTJ 6w5s cannot work as long or hard as other ESTJs. They might also be more complacent.

It can also be a good thing as it means they’ll be keener on work-life balance.

2.   Less Competitive

ESTJs are naturally competitive. ESTJ 6w5s are different. While they want to do things correctly, they often do not go all out in competitions. This is especially true when it’s risky to do so.

Thus, even when they want to win, they weigh all factors carefully before proceeding.

3.   Distrustful

ESTJ 6w5s are not the most trustful bunch. They will express skepticism about new ideas and projects. The only exception here is when it’s their idea or project. They trust themselves to be thorough with everything. So, this is not a surprise.

Their distrust can also show in their relationships. ESTJ 6w5s have a hard time trusting even their partners. This becomes even worse if trust has previously been broken.

Unhealthy ESTJ 6w5s might even become paranoid. They become hard to live with when this happens.

4.   A Bit More Detached

Type 5 finds joy in living a detached life. To some extent, ESTJ 6w5s will be the same. They will guard their alone, detached time with their lives.

The extent to which this applies depends on the strength of their wings.

ESTJ 6w5 in the Workplace

ESTJs excel at managerial positions. They do really well managing people, resources, and organizations. At the center of their work is structure. Deny them this, and watch them crumble.

ESTJ 6w5s are the same. This personality type is also looking for security or stability. For this reason, they are one of the more likely 6w5s to start their own business.

Ensure their role gives them a structure to get the best out of the ESTJ 6w5.
