Overview[edit]
With only a few known exceptions, the Adriatic wheel arrangement was usually used on tank locomotives, for which various suffixes to indicate the type of tank would be added to the wheel arrangement, for example 2-6-4T for an engine with side-tanks.
Tender locomotives[edit]
The earliest known example was the South African Class 6Z, designed by Cape Government Railways (CGR) Chief Locomotive Superintendent H.M. Beatty in 1901. The first engines of the class were modified 2-6-2 Prairie locomotives which were equipped with two-axle trailing bogies. In 1902, more were placed in service, but built with the 2-6-4 wheel arrangement. The latter were the first known tender locomotives in the world to be built with this wheel arrangement.[1][2][3]
Tank locomotives[edit]
Tank engines with the 2-6-4T wheel arrangement were produced for many different railway systems worldwide and were mainly used for freight and suburban passenger working. They have been less successful on express passenger trains. The earliest known example also originated in South Africa, the Pretoria-Pietersburg Railway's 55 Tonner of 1898.[3][4][5]
Usage[edit]
Austria[edit]
Austrian Class 310 number 310.23
Two Austrian express tender locomotive types were of this wheel arrangement, the Class 210 of 1908 and Class 310 of 1911, both designed by Karl Gölsdorf. The type therefore became known as the Adriatic arrangement, named for the Adriatic Sea which bordered Austria-Hungary until 1918.
Brazil[edit]
Preserved meter gauge locomotive Dona Joaninha, built to haul sugar cane in Brazil, uses the 2-6-4 wheel arrangement.
Finland[edit]
Class Vk1 2-6-4T no. 305 of the Finnish State Railways
Finland had three locomotive classes with a 2-6-4T wheel arrangement, the Classes Vk1, Vk2 and Vk3. All three classes were nicknamed Iita.
The Class Vk1, numbered 301 to 305, were delivered in 1900 from Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Class Vk1 Iita were also nicknamed Amerikan because they were built in the United States of America.
The Class Vk2 were numbered 454 to 455.
The Finnish Steam Locomotive Class Vk3 were numbered 456 and 487 to 492. They were built in 1915 by Tampella, a Finnish heavy industry manufacturer, and were used for local passenger duties. One of them, Vk3 No 489, is preserved at the Finnish Railway Museum.
Germany[edit]
Preserved DB Class 66 002
Two Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) 2-6-4T Class 66 locomotives, designed for fast goods train and passenger train service, were built in 1955 as part of the DB's Neubaulok construction programme. They were both withdrawn from service in 1968. One, DB 66 002, has been preserved at the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum.
Sweden[edit]
SJ type SB with driving wheels 1.75 m diameter for passenger use, built Motala 1917, one preserved.
SJ type J with driving wheels 1.3 m diameter for mixed traffic use, built Atlas, Motala and Nohab, 1914-1918. Four preserved.
Switzerland[edit]
2-6-4 tank locomotives were built by SLM in 1913 for use on the Berne-Neuenberg railway. They were still in use at Basel in 1956. Of slightly British appearance, at that time they were used to transfer stock between the French and Swiss systems, the former having not yet been electrified.
New Zealand[edit]
The Ferrymead Railway in Christchurch, New Zealand has a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge 2-6-4T locomotive that was in regular operation until taken off-line for boiler repairs around 2009. It was built by Baldwin in 1901.[6]
The Wf class of the New Zealand Government Railways was built between 1903 and 1928 and was a general purpose tank design. It was used all over New Zealand and identical locomotives were also in service as the Ds class of the Tasmanian Government Railways. Three Wf class locomotives survived in preservation:
- Wf386, one of the engines used on the first Wellington to Auckland train, is preserved at Paekakariki.
- Wf392 was sold to Tasmania and used as a Ds class locomotive. Its boiler is on display at Don River Railway
- Wf393 is preserved at Ferrymead.
- Wf403 is preserved at Nelson.
South Africa[edit]
Between 1898 and 1900, the Pretoria-Pietersburg Railway (PPR) placed six 2-6-4T locomotives in service, built by Beyer, Peacock and Company. During the Second Boer War, they were first taken over by the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij (NZASM) and then by the Imperial Military Railways (IMR). After the war, they were taken onto the roster of the Central South African Railways (CSAR) and in 1912 they were assimilated into the South African Railways (SAR) as Class D.[3][4][5][7]
In 1901, the CGR placed four 6th Class 2-6-2 Prairie tender steam locomotives in service, designed at the Salt River works of the CGR and built by Neilson, Reid and Company. During trials, it was found that they were inclined to be unsteady at speed and the locomotive design was therefore modified to a 2-6-4 wheel arrangement by replacing the trailing carrier wheels with a two-axle bogie. Another four locomotives incorporating this modification were ordered later in 1901 and delivered in 1902, the first tender locomotives in the world to be built with this wheel arrangement. The change in design resulted in a marked improvement in the locomotive's stability at speed and the first four locomotives were therefore also modified accordingly. In 1912, when they were assimilated into the SAR, these eight locomotives were all designated Class 6Z.[1][2][3][5][7]
CGR Type A 2-6-4T
In 1902, the CGR placed two Type A Adriatic narrow gauge locomotive in construction service on the Avontuur branch, which was being built out of Port Elizabeth through the Langkloof. They were built by Manning Wardle and Company and, at a width of 7 feet 9 inches (2.362 metres), they were the widest locomotives to see service on any of the 2 feet (610 millimetres) narrow gauge lines in South Africa.[5]
United Kingdom[edit]
The first British examples of the 2-6-4T wheel arrangement were two locomotives built for the narrow-gauge Leek & Manifold Valley Light Railway in 1904. The first 4 ft 81⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge examples were the class 1B of the Great Central Railway, built in 1914.[8]
Richard Maunsell of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) designed the K class in 1914 for express passenger duties, and in 1925 introduced a three-cylinder variant K1 class for the Southern Railway. These locomotives proved to be unsteady at speed and, following the Sevenoaks railway accident in 1927, they were rebuilt as 2-6-0 tender locomotives. Maunsell did however use the type more successfully for his W class freight locomotives of 1930.
BR Standard Class 4 2-6-4T No. 80136
Between 1927 and 1947, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) built nearly five hundred 2-6-4Ts for suburban passenger work to four similar designs (see LMS/BR Class 4 2-6-4T locomotives). The last of these, the LMS Fairburn, continued to be built by British Railways (BR) until 1951. Fairburn's LMS design also formed the basis of the very successful BR Standard Class 4, which continued to be produced until 1957.
Preserved NCC WT class no. 4
Between 1946 and 1950, George Ivatt of the LMS also built eighteen 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) examples of a very similar design at Derby Works, for use in Northern Ireland. These later became the Northern Counties Committee WT class.
A prototype of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) L1 class, designed by Edward Thompson, was built in 1945. The remaining 99 members of the class were built under BR administration during the period from 1948 to 1950.
Model Railroading[edit]
The Lionel Corporation used the 2-6-4 wheel arrangement in many of its model steam locomotives, including the 2037 used in the infamous Girls' Train.[9]

Determining your Enneagram type is a process of self-discovery. Often, two types are considered “look-alikes” because they share key personality traits and/or behaviors. Therefore, it’s helpful to look at both the similarities and the distinguishing features that set them apart.
Types that are connected on the Enneagram symbol share certain qualities. Non-connected types also can have characteristics in common. While two types may look alike, when we examine them more carefully, we see that their motivations and concerns are quite different. This helps differentiate between them. As you read the type pairings below, you’ll see how the following relationships contribute to look-alike types.
- Wing points are located on either side of our type around the circumference of the Enneagram symbol. Because wings are right next to our own type, we can visit them easily. People often have one dominant wing that modifies and blends with the basic type and highlights certain tendencies. Along with theinstinctual subtypes, the wings account for many wonderful variations in personality type.
- Security and stress points show where our energy and awareness flow, depending on our needs and circumstances. We often move from our “home base” to the two points connected to our own by the lines in the diagram. The stress point is where we go when feeling stressed and pressured, or when mobilizing for action. The security point is where we go when feeling relaxed or secure, or paradoxically, when feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. This dynamic movement creates a significant shift in our point of view and style of behavior, allowing us to become less stuck in our habitual patterns.
- Some type pairings also share a center of intelligence (head, heart or body). Types with the same center have a common orientation to the world. Body types (8, 9, 1), known as the “anger” triad, seek control; Heart types (2, 3, 4), known as the “image” triad, seek approval; and Head types (5, 6, 7), known as the “fear” triad, seek security.
Type Comparisons
The chart below, adapted from The Essential Enneagram book by David Daniels, MD and Virginia Price, MD, distinguishes every Enneagram type from every other type, 36 comparisons in all. Each pairing shows what’s most similar – and different – between the two types.

Types 1 and 2
What’s similar:As wings to each other, Perfectionists (1) and Givers (2) place a high value on giving, focus intense energy on the improvement or well-being of others, and think they know what is best for others. Both types also suppress or repress their own needs and desires.
What’s different: Perfectionists concentrate, often inflexibly, on others’ needs based on their own inner standards, while Givers often alter themselves to make others happy. Although both strive for self-sufficiency and independence, Givers are very relationship-oriented, and often find themselves over-connected and even indispensable to others.
Types 1 and 3
What’s similar:Perfectionists (1) and Performers (3) can be look-alike types because they are both goal-oriented, high achievers with workaholic tendencies.
What’s different:Perfectionists are more likely to be hounded by their inner critic, which motivates them to do what is judged right by their own high standards. Performers are more driven to succeed and will change their approach, even cutting corners if necessary, to reach their goal and be recognized for their accomplishments.
Types 1 and 4
What’s similar:The Perfectionist (1) is the Romantic’s (4) security point, and the Romantic is the Perfectionist’s stress point. Both often express idealism, intensity, sensitivity, integrity, authenticity, self-reproach and a concern for self-improvement. Perfectionists in stress become discouraged and feel deficient. Romantics in security can express a critical idealism and demand perfection or exactness.
What’s different:Perfectionists’ idealism concerns correct behavior and getting it right, while Romantics’ idealism revolves around possibilities for ultimate fulfillment. Additionally, Perfectionists generally are self-restrained and suppress personal desires, while Romantics experience strong longings and desires, sometimes to the point of self-absorption.
Types 1 and 5
What’s similar:Perfectionists (1) and Observers (5) can be look-alike types because they are both intellectual, and can become retracted or internalized when trying to figure things out.
What’s different:Perfectionists are quite intense, suppress their feelings and desires, and actively engage to improve themselves and others. Observers detach from feelings to protect themselves from being intruded upon, usually displaying a calm exterior, and to conserve energy.
Types 1 and 6
What’s similar:Perfectionists (1) and Loyal Skeptics (6) can be look-alike types because both can be very watchful, anxious and worried, and intent on figuring things out.
What’s different:Loyal Skeptics, by doubting, try to figure out what could go wrong and look for worst-case scenarios in efforts to gain a sense of safety and certainty. Perfectionists, by judging and comparing, try to figure out how to prevent mistakes or to correct what is wrong to avoid self-criticism and criticism from others.
Types 1 and 7
What’s similar:The Perfectionist (1) is the Epicure’s (7) stress point, and the Epicure is the Perfectionist’s security point. Both are idealists who want a better world, show intensity and helpfulness, and value self-reliance. Perfectionists in security often feel a release from feelings of responsibility, and will relax into pleasure, personal desires and playfulness. Epicures in stress can become quite critical, exacting and determined.
What’s different:Perfectionists are often serious, austere, self-restrained and limit their desires. In contrast, Epicures spurn limits, seek out pleasures, and are fun-loving and expansive.
Types 1 and 8
What’s similar:Perfectionists (1) and Protectors (8) are body center types concerned with rightness, justice, truth and fairness.
What’s different:Perfectionists tend to suppress their anger and impulses, becoming resentful and tense until their anger spills out in righteousness. In contrast, Protectors state their truth openly, express their anger directly, and go from urge to action easily.
Types 1 and 9
What’s similar:Perfectionists (1) and Mediators (9) are body center types and wings of each other. They both easily forget or suppress their own needs and desires. They value steadiness, organization and routine, and work hard for others with a concern for harmony.
What’s different:Perfectionists hold to their positions and standards, often rigidly, while Mediators readily accommodate others. Thus, Perfectionists appear tense and will press others to change, while Mediators go along with others’ agendas and requests, often losing sight of their own.
Types 2 and 3
What’s similar:Givers (2) and Performers (3) are heart center typesandeach other’s wings. They have an active “doing” energy, and both are oriented toward accomplishment and helping. They can be exuberant yet practical. To seek approval, they can alter themselves to fit whatever image is required.
What’s different:Givers habitually focus on relationships and on others’ feelings and needs, while Performers push aside feelings and habitually focus on tasks, goals and being recognized for their accomplishments.
Types 2 and 4
What’s similar:The Giver (2) and the Romantic (4) are heart center types attuned to feelings. The Giver is also the Romantic’s (4) stress point, and the Romantic is the Giver’s security point. Both are sensitive, relationship-oriented, helpful and emotionally intense. They each have a romantic flare and are concerned with image. Givers in security become more internalized, self-oriented, nostalgic and uniquely creative. Romantics in stress become more pleasing, outer-directed, and focused on others and giving.
What’s different:Givers are outer-directed and orient to others, actively focusing on others’ needs, and altering themselves as necessary to meet those needs. In contrast, Romantics are inner-directed and self-referencing, thus focusing on their own specialness, authenticity or sense of feeling deficient or melancholy.
Types 2 and 5
What’s similar:Givers (2) and Observers (5) can be look-alike types because they are both sensitive to the claims and needs of important others, are quite giving and typically do not attend to their own feelings.
What’s different:Givers sustain the giving mode, moving forward to connect with others so they can meet others’ needs, often losing their personal boundaries in the process. Observers have intermittent periods of giving and responding to claims made by others. The times in between are punctuated by distinct periods of moving away, and disconnecting to recharge and protect personal boundaries.
Types 2 and 6
What’s similar:Givers (2) and Loyal Skeptics (6) can be look-alike types because both can be warm and friendly, sensitive to others, disarming or seductive, and will defer to what others want or need. (This applies especially to the more phobic or accommodating Six.) They also can both be anxious.

What’s different: Bookends 13 0 5 – reference management and bibliography software. Givers’ self-identity is invested in giving, and they will move forward with active energy, focusing on others’ needs. In contrast, Loyal Skeptics will please others in order to gain certainty and security rather than a sense of self-worth. They tend to warily hold back, doubting themselves and other people. Also, Givers often feel indispensable, while Loyal Skeptics tend to spurn indispensability.
Types 2 and 7
What’s similar: Givers (2) and Epicures (7) can be look-alike types because both want to be liked, and are active, upbeat, energetic, charming or seductive, friendly and selective in relationships.
What’s different:Givers alter themselves and move toward others, orienting primarily to the likes, wants and needs of others. Epicures can get absorbed in their own intellectual pursuits, are self-referencing, and tend to maintain their separateness.
Types 2 and 8
What’s similar:The Giver (2) is the Protector’s (8) security point, and the Protector is the Giver’s stress point. Both show active energy, assertiveness, intrusiveness, generosity, protectiveness toward others and attraction to power. Givers in stress become more direct and forceful, readily expressing anger. Protectors in security can be openhearted, expressing feelings, softness and sensitivity to others.
What’s different:Givers employ their active energy to move toward others with a strong sensitivity to others’ feelings, altering themselves to please others and repressing their own needs. By contrast, Protectors use their active energy to act forcefully in a way that often intimidates others, asserting their own position, wants and needs.
Types 2 and 9
What’s similar:Givers and Mediators can be look-alike types because they both want to please others and meet others’ wants and needs. In the process, they orient toward the claims made upon them by others, losing awareness of their own needs and priorities.
What’s different:Givers are more active in focusing attention and energy on what others need, and they alter themselves to meet those needs. Mediators are more reactive, allowing themselves to be pulled by whatever claims are made upon them. They blend in and disperse their energy to make things comfortable without changing their image.
Types 3 and 4
What’s similar:Performers (3) and Romantics (4) are both heart center types and each other’s wings. They share a concern for approval and recognition, and feel the need to maintain their image. Both are often intense, competitive and have a creative, inventive orientation.
What’s different:Performers sustain a “go-ahead” goal orientation, which requires them to suspend their feelings and alter themselves. Romantics, on the other hand, have difficulty sustaining a goal orientation due to deep and fluctuating feelings brought on by their preoccupation with relationships.
Types 3 and 5
What’s similar:Performers (3) and Observers (5) can be look-alike types because both can be oriented toward tasks, activities and getting things done. They also detach from or suspend their feelings to avoid being overly influenced by them.
What’s different:Performers experience an abundance of energy often engaging in continuous activity, with a concern for presenting a good image. In contrast, Observers believe they have a limited amount of energy, and consequently are active and energetic in bursts. Highly mental, they intersperse their activity with distinct periods of retraction to allow time to recharge and think things over.
Types 3 and 6
Typeface 2 6 4 2003 Ford
What’s similar:The Performer (3) is the Loyal Skeptic’s (6) stress point, and the Loyal Skeptic is the Performer’s security point. Both types are personable, practical, hard workers and highly active. Performers in security are more questioning, reflective and trusting in others to get things done. Loyal Skeptics in stress move into action, get concerned with their image, and press to get goals accomplished.
What’s different:Performers sustain a goal orientation with their active, “go-ahead” energy. They thrive on success, compliments and recognition. Loyal Skeptics, on the other hand, need to get mobilized for action, overcoming perceived pitfalls and doubts. They are uncomfortable with compliments and tend to doubt them.
Types 3 and 7
What’s similar:Performers (3) and Epicures (7) can be look-alike types because both are energetic, assertive, upbeat, task-oriented, activity-oriented and often overbooked. They tend to avoid negative feelings.
What’s different:Performers are driven to succeed because they want to maintain a good image and receive external approval for what they accomplish in order to sustain their self-worth. Epicures naturally focus on their own pleasures and interests, and experience a sense of personal entitlement, especially to keeping their options open.
Types 3 and 8
What’s similar:Performers (3) and Protectors (8) can be look-alike types because they are assertive, determined, action and goal-oriented, and willing to take charge. Both can radiate competence and confidence, and may inadvertently step on anyone who gets in their way.
What’s different:Performers will shift gears, alter themselves and change direction somewhat like chameleons to accomplish their goals. Their anger mostly comes up when they feel obstructed in reaching a goal. In contrast, Protectors will hold to a position, become confrontational, and express anger directly and easily.
Types 3 and 9
What’s similar:The Performer (3) is the Mediator’s (9) security point, and the Mediator is the Performer’s stress point. Both are personable, practical, amiable and competent. They also both depend on external support and approval. Performers in stress are more likely to go along, putting aside personal agendas and image. Mediators in security become more singularly focused on their own goals, more efficient and more image-oriented.
What’s different:Performers are fast-paced, efficient, focused on achieving goals, and impatient when obstacles get in their way. Mediators are slower paced, react to the opinions and claims made on them by others, and substitute others’ agendas and goals for their own.

Types 4 and 5
What’s similar:Romantics (4) and Observers (5) are each other’s wings. Both can be analytical, introspective, internalized, sensitive and shy (yet appear superior). Depending on how much their wings influence them, some Romantics will appear more detached, and some Observers more in touch with their feelings.
What’s different:Romantics are the most feeling and emotional of the nine types. They often want more from others, and have difficulty keeping their personal boundaries. In contrast, Observers are the most detached of the nine types. They want less of others, and are more self-contained with clearer personal boundaries.
Types 4 and 6
What’s similar:Romantics (4) and counter-phobic Loyal Skeptics (6) can be look-alike types because both tend to be contrary, question and magnify situations, oppose authority, get reckless, break rules, defy dangers and have periods of self-doubt.
What’s different:Romantics are attracted to feelings and longings, become expansive and want to be affected emotionally. Loyal Skeptics, on the other hand, don’t want to become trapped in feelings or longings. Furthermore, Romantics look for what is missing that could be fulfilling, while Loyal Skeptics look for what might go wrong so they can avert or challenge it.
Types 4 and 7
What’s similar:Romantics (4) and Epicures (7) can be look-alike types because they are both intense and idealistic. They want life to be adventuresome and highly stimulating, and approach life with their attention going to what they want, think and feel.
What’s different:Romantics tend to go into melancholy and deep feelings, and accept pain as part of life. Epicures are just the opposite. They are the most upbeat or pleasure-seeking type, avoiding pain and negative feelings whenever possible.
Types 4 and 8
What’s similar:Romantics (4) and Protectors (8) can be look-alike types because both show intensity, depth and directness of expression (even flamboyance), a lot of energy or emotion, a desire for authenticity and tendencies toward recklessness, impulsivity and opposition.
What’s different:Romantics go deeply into their feelings, often falling into inaction and losing direction. In contrast, Protectors surmount their feelings and sustain action with considerable energy.
Types 4 and 9
What’s similar:Romantics (4) and Mediators (9) can be look-alike types because they are relationship-oriented, caring and empathic. Both can get lost or absorbed in their circumstances, feel deficient, become self-depreciating and lose their impetus for action.
What’s different:Romantics orient toward themselves, are attached to being special or extraordinary, and will readily go to extremes or depths of emotions to experience vitality and aliveness. In contrast, Mediators orient toward others, blend in, avoid conflict, and like to keep life steady so that they can feel comfortable.
Types 5 and 6
What’s similar:Observers (5) and Loyal Skeptics (6) are both head center types and each other’s wings. Both can be analytical, reflective, thoughtful, retracted and hesitant to take action (especially the more phobic Six).
What’s different:Observers detach from or dampen their feelings, compartmentalize circumstances and usually delay their responses. Loyal Skeptics, on the other hand, react immediately to circumstances and magnify perceived dangers, often intensely and with fear.
Types 5 and 7
Typeface 2 6 4 2003 Chevy
What’s similar: Observers (5) and Epicures (7) are head center types. In addition, the Observer is the Epicure’s security point, and the Epicure is the Observer’s stress point. Both types love ideas and are self-reliant, knowledgeable and inventive. They also avoid painful feelings. Observers in stress become more externalized, social, active and oriented toward possibilities. Epicures in security become more internalized, solitary, observant and inwardly oriented.
What’s different:Observers avoid strong feelings, contain their needs and desires, simplify life and retract to protect their boundaries. In contrast, Epicures actively seek positives, express their needs and desires, become expansive and overbooked, and spurn boundaries and limits.
Types 5 and 8
What’s similar:The Observer (5) is the Protector’s (8) stress point, and the Protector is the Observer’s securitypoint. Both types are curious, value respect and truth, resist control, and become possessive of space and key resources. Observers in security become more engaged, outgoing and expressive of their desires, feelings and anger. Protectors in stress become more retracted, restrained and reflective.
What’s different: Spillo 1 9 2 download free. In general, Observers are the most retracted, contained and measured of the nine Enneagram types. They tend to conserve their energy, reduce their needs and think before acting. Protectors, by contrast, are the most expansive, expressive and excessive of the nine Enneagram types. They expand energy, directly expressing their desires and anger, and often act before thinking.
Types 5 and 9
What’s similar:Observers (5) and Mediators (9) are considered look-alike types because both can be retracted, introverted, thoughtful and unobtrusive. They tend to withdraw or pull back from being overly influenced by their surroundings.
What’s different:Observers habitually detach from others and assert their boundaries in self-protection, whereas Mediators are the least able to detach from others. They habitually blend with or go along with others to keep life harmonious and comfortable.
Types 6 and 7
What’s similar:Loyal Skeptics (6) and Epicures (7) are head center types and each other’s wings. Both can interrelate diverse ideas and are mentally quick, often sharp-witted, analytical and imaginative.
What’s different:Loyal Skeptics often put a negative spin on experiences, seeing worst-case possibilities and pitfalls, while Epicures put a positive spin on their experiences, planning for multiple pleasurable possibilities. Loyal Skeptics welcome reassuring limits and seek to gain certainty. Epicures abhor limits and seek to expand their options. Pleasure and personal desires are secondary concerns for Loyal Skeptics, but for Epicures they are primary.
Types 6 and 8
What’s similar:Counter-phobic Loyal Skeptics (6) and Protectors (8) are considered look-alike types because both can be aggressive, challenging and confrontational. They can seem fearless and will fight for causes. They share a view of the world as unfriendly and untrustworthy.
What’s different:Differences arise in how the two types take action. Loyal Skeptics will usually have moments of fear or hesitation before taking action – magnifying the dangers and sometimes giving way under pressure as doubts and questions arise. By contrast, Protectors will react from instinct – taking action without hesitation, minimizing or denying dangers, and holding their ground while denying their vulnerability.
Types 6 and 9
What’s similar:The Loyal Skeptic (6) is the Mediator’s (9) stress point and the Mediator is the Loyal Skeptic’s security point. Both Mediators and the more phobic Loyal Skeptic can be agreeable, accommodating, friendly, anxious to please, self-effacing, sensitive and eager to avoid conflict. Loyal Skeptics in security are more at ease, relaxed and accepting of life as it is. Mediators in stress become fearful, questioning and wary.
What’s different:Loyal Skeptics keep some personal distance, orienting to danger and what could go wrong, while Mediators, the most “other-referencing” type, often lose themselves in the requests and claims that others make upon them. Loyal Skeptics test and question before going along with others, whereas Mediators go along with others before testing and questioning.
