ISFPs are the rebels of the sensor world. When compared with the enneagram of personality, some might identify as the ISFP 6w7.

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

Who is the ISFP 6w7?

ISFP 6w7s are loyal people with a touch of adventure. They value stability and security in their lives. Because of their wing and ISFP’s tendencies, they also live for the thrill.

ISFP 6w7s are cautious people who want to have a good time. However, having a good time is usually centered around familiar things and people.

Type 6 is a fairly common type for ISFPs. This is probably down to their extroverted thinking (Te) function. While this is true, 6w7 is less common than 6w5. Thus, combining both enneagram types changes the typical traits of the ISFP.

ISFP 6w7 are slightly more likely to be assertive.

What is the Core Desire of the ISFP 6w7?

The core desire of the ISFP 6w7 is to be secure. They want stable lives with a touch of guarded adventure.

What is the Core Fear of the ISFP 6w7?

The core fear of the ISFP 6w7 is to be insecure and exposed. Insecurity here depends on the background of the individual.

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

1.   More Loyal

ISFPs are loyal. ISFP 6w7s are super loyal. They understood the importance of loyalty at a young age, and it became part of their values. Because they use the introverted feeling (Fi) function, this is heightened.

Thus, ISFP 6w7s will look out for their loved ones. They are unlikely to betray those they love. Their loyalty makes them very reliable friends.

2.   Better At Handling Emergencies

Type 6 is always on the lookout for emergencies. Thus, it’s not surprising that ISFP 6w7s have this trait. However, the pro is that this personality type becomes better at handling these emergencies.

This is because they have already thought of the worst possible scenarios and planned for them. So, if you have an ISFP 6w7 as a friend, you know who to run to if you have an emergency.

3.   Better at Financial Management

ISFPs are not the best with finances. ISFP 6w7 is slightly better. Here’s why. Type 6 is worried about their security. Thus, they save money to protect themselves from future problems.

ISFP 6w7s are similar. So, they might hoard their resources if they feel threatened. However, because of their wing, you can expect occasional splurges.

4.   A Bit More Extroverted

ISFPs are introverts. However, things change a little with the ISFP 6w7. They talk and interact with others more. Their wing amplifies this.

Thus, this personality type might have moments where they look and behave like a core 7. People might look forward to seeing this part of them.

This is also one of the reasons they can be mistyped as ESFPs.

5.   Less Impulsive

The presence of type 6 counteracts ISFP, and type 7’s need to be impulsive. So, ISFP 6w7s will be less rash with their decisions and actions.

While this is true, it’ll not be as pronounced as a core 6. ISFP 6w7s will have moments of madness where they throw caution to the wind.

The key is reducing the damage done during this period.

6.   A Bit More Disciplined

Again, this is down to type 6’s need to be secure. This desire pushes them to take action when typical ISFPs might procrastinate.

Thus, ISFP 6w7s appear more motivated and efficient. However, the singular drive here is usually fear.

New Weaknesses of the ISFP 6w7

1.   Fearful

Type 6 and type 7 are in the fear triad. This makes ISFP 6w7 very fearful. Their fear can make them withdraw or react immaturely when faced with problems or challenges.

There’s more. This fear can also influence their decisions regarding their career and relationships. Most times, the outcome is regrettable.

2.   More Pessimistic

With fear comes pessimism. ISFPs are usually more idealistic about their lives. ISFP 6w7s are on the opposite spectrum. Their pessimism can take a toll on them and their outlook.

In worst-case scenarios, it can make them depressed. Other times, it can keep them paralyzed and unable to move.

3.   Less Inclined to Take Risks

With pessimism comes many other problems. One of them is being risk-averse. Now, there are times when taking risks is ridiculous.

However, there is also time for calculated risks. ISFP 6w7s will try to avoid both. When they choose to take a risk, it’s because they have seen others succeed.

They might miss life’s opportunities because they tend to hold on for too long.

4.   The Cost of Stability

As stated earlier, ISFP 6w7 wants stability. They want this at all costs. The cost that comes with this can be tremendous.

This personality type might eliminate anything that causes instability. Sometimes, this can even be how they feel toward their partners.

They can also make rash decisions because they fear losing their present stability. While this can be a great decision when facing toxicity, it can also be disastrous.

As with both things in life, the key is striking a balance.

ISFP 6w7 in the Workplace

Just like INFPs, ISFPs want a career they are passionate about. They want to help others where and when they can. ISFPs also prefer a hands-on career that produces tangible results.

When it comes to working conditions, they excel in remote jobs. ISFP 6w7s are similar. However, they’ll put security and stability above personal desires.

This personality type can work remotely or 9-5. Because of their need for security, they are better at more jobs than typical ISFPs.
