Type 6: The Loyalist

You're a Type 6, the Loyalist: dependable, prepared and fiercely loyal to your people. You think ahead so everyone else can relax, and your friends know you'll always show up.

Your answers point to Type 6, the Loyalist. You're the friend who has a phone charger, a snack and a backup plan. You notice what could go wrong, not because you're negative, but because you want the people you care about to be safe and supported.

What it means to be a Type 6

Type 6s are often committed, responsible and community-minded. Once you trust someone, you're in it for the long haul. You make an excellent teammate because you ask the questions nobody else thought to ask, and you take your responsibilities seriously.

Day to day, you might double-check the weather before a trip, keep group chats organized or stick with the same favorite restaurant because you know it's good. You value honesty and consistency, and you tend to be a great judge of who's trustworthy.

Growing as a Loyalist

Thinking ahead is a strength, but sometimes it can turn into overthinking. Many Type 6s find it helpful to notice when "what if" questions are becoming worries and to remind themselves of all the times things worked out. You're more capable and resourceful than your inner skeptic gives you credit for.

Trusting your own judgment, not just the opinions of others, is another place to grow. Your instincts have earned some confidence.

You also have a great sense of humor that often surprises people who only know your careful side. Once you feel comfortable, you're warm, witty and deeply devoted. Your friendships tend to last for years because you put in the effort.
