Type Six—The Truthsayer
Type Six—The Truthsayer sees the world as an unpredictable and dangerous place. They imagine the worst-case scenario and prepare for it––this makes them feel safer and more secure. Six’s are loyal but also rebellious at the same time, sincere, funny, and warm. They have the ability to see beyond the image, past the hidden intentions and get right down to the truth of things. Sixes aren’t comfortable with anything or anyone that isn’t real and honest so they’ve honed their ability to see what’s false and will point out the truth. Because of their fear Sixes have the impression they have very little courage––like the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. And like the Cowardly Lion, as Sixes evolve and face life’s challenges directly they see they are, in fact, very courageous. It is the Sixes spiritual task to become their own authority, have faith in themselves and have faith in life itself. When they speak the truth from this place of faith they have an amazing blend of wisdom, clarity and intuition––it is their gift. As they go to a deeper level, Sixes remember the spiritual truth that we are guided and protected throughout our lives and that life is a safe experience.
