ISFJs are the guardians of the MBTIverse. When compared with the enneagram of personality, a good number identify as the ISFJ 6w7.

Here, we’ll talk more about the ISFJ 6w7 and what to expect from them.

Who is the ISFJ 6w7?

ISFJ 6w7s are stable people with a touch of adventure. They want to be secure and keep their loved ones safe. This personality type often has to contend with its wing which is its complete opposite.

Type 6 is a common enneagram type for the ISFJ. ISFJs are also known to be type 1, type 9, and type 2. While this is true, the presence of type 7 as their wing changes some of the typical traits of the ISFJ as we shall soon see.

ISFJ 6w7 has an equal chance of being assertive or turbulent.

What is the Core Desire of the ISFJ 6w7?

The core desire of the ISFJ 6w7 is to be secure or safe. To achieve this, they try to take fewer risks and be more cautious with their actions.

What is the Core Fear of the ISFJ 6w7?

The core fear of the ISFJ 6w7 is to be unsafe or vulnerable to harm. To avoid this, ISFJ 6w7s play it safe. They also try to follow the right and safe path at all times. This might include eating healthy foods or just following the rules.

However, because of their wing, there’s always the tendency for them to let loose.

How the 6w7 Changes the Natural Tendencies of the ISFJ 6w7

1.   More Adventurous

ISFJs are sensors. Sensors are practical people who focus on the present. Combined with their judging function, they prefer planning to adventures. With ISFJ 6w7, things are a bit different.

This personality type is much more adventurous. However, there is often a constant struggle between playing it safe and being adventurous. The strength of their wing determines how adventurous they might be.

If their wing is especially strong, they might be open to bigger adventures such as relocating or changing careers.

2.   Even More Loyal

ISFJs are very loyal. They love their friends and family. Usually, they’ll do anything they can to help them. ISFJ 6w7s are even more loyal. They care deeply about others and their safety. Thus, they try to protect them in any way they can.

Thus, expect this personality type to leave you with a bunch of advice about your health and other safety guidelines.

3.   Less Traditional

ISFJs are known to be one of the most traditional MBTI types. However, ISFJ 6w7 will be slightly different. While traditions will always come first, they are often tempted by the lure of the unknown.

So, while they will largely obey the rules and norms, expect them to go overboard sometimes. After this happens, they might become emboldened to try it again or might become terrified.

It really does depend on the particular ISFJ 6w7.

4.   More Creative

ISFJs are practical people. This does not mean they are not creative. It just means they prefer to consolidate on existing and concrete facts. With the ISFJ 6w7s, things are different.

This personality type is more willing to lean towards creativity. They might take a fancy in writing, music, or something else. If their wing is especially strong, they might also be willing to think outside the box.

The presence of their wing will help develop their two weakest functions; the extroverted intuition (Ne) and the introverted thinking (Ti) function.

5.   More Extroverted

ISFJs are extroverted introverts. This simply means that while they love their space, they are also open to interactions a bit more than super introverts. With ISFJ 6w7s, this becomes even more pronounced.

ISFJ’s extroverted feeling (Fe) function will be more dominant. You’ll be forgiven if you mistype them as a subdued ESFJ.

While ISFJ 6w7 might be able to interact at a higher level, they are still ISFJs. Eventually, they will withdraw to recharge.

New Weaknesses of the ISFJ 6w7

1.   Less Organized

The weaknesses of type 7 come in full display here. Type 7 are not known for their organization. Thus, ISFJ 6w7s might not be as organized as other ISFJs. They might not be very detail-oriented either.

However, the extent to which this applies will depend on the strength of their wing.

2.   More Fearful/Anxious

Type 6 and type 7 are both in the fear triad. This means that they access their emotions through fear. Thus, ISFJ 6w7s will be very fearful.

This can come in a lot of ways. They might be more anxious about their health or about dying. They might be worried about their financial situation or the lives of their loved ones. It might also be a fear of confronting their problems.

Regardless, one thing is certain. Fear will play a role in their lives.

3.   More Impulsive

Being impulsive or reckless is not something that’s usually associated with ISFJs. However, it might be more prominent with this personality type.

The presence of type 7 might make ISFJ 6w7s more impulsive or rash. This might affect their decision-making, handling of finances, and much more.

The extent to which this applies will depend on the strength of their wing. However, because their dominant enneagram is type 6, they will never become too impulsive.

4.   More Complacent

ISFJs are effective workers that give their all for a good cause. ISFJ 6w7s will also work hard. However, because they have type 7 as their wing, they will have a tendency to procrastinate.

Type 7 just wants to relax and enjoy their life. Depending on the strength of their wing, this tendency will also be present in the ISFJ 6w7.

ISFJ 6w7 in the Workplace

ISFJs want a career that appeals to their practicality. They also excel in careers that involve taking care of people or are traditional (working 9-5). ISFJ 6w7s are similar.

However, their needs are spurred on by the need for something stable and secure. While type 7 might want to explore different careers, this personality type is more likely to stick to the one that offers the most security.

They also love a workplace with defined structures and roles. To get the best out of the ISFJ 6w7, make sure their role is practical and stable. If their job is secure, even better.
