6 - OI - OCAS>IMPE

Like 4s, 6s have their own understanding of the world, but because 6s don’t like to think, that understanding is usually very primitive. Something like “One God”, “One Party”, “Bible is the only truth”, and everything else follows from it. There are 6s who instead accept a materialist premise and build their understanding from there, but for that, they need to be raised in a materialist community/family. If a 6 believes something, it is almost impossible to change their mind. That makes them very biased, not in a bad or a good way, just that they see everything through their set of beliefs. If they are materialists, then the second coming of Jesus will not change their minds. Nowadays, they can just join a large corporation, understand its inner workings, and move up the hierarchical ladder. Usually, that leads to a boring life, sterile in the physical and emotional sense. Unfortunately, there is something they like almost as much as structuring their lives.

Naturally, 6s like talking and arguing, but because they don’t like to think, it is quite tough for them to debate when presented with new arguments or theories. Emotional communication is perhaps most important for them. In essence, they need to have emotions like air, and without an external stimulant, they will live a stable and uneventful life, moving up the career ladder, making lots of money, and living a comfortable life. And who wants that?! So when someone like a 5 or an 8 shows up and drags them into some sort of local dispute, they become ecstatic, they finally “see life for what it is”. Even in a stable relationship, they try to pick a pseudofight with their partner, poke them, tickle them, anything to produce an emotion. Their desire to control their partner, to have knowledge of where they are and what they are doing at all times, helps them with that quite a bit. In sex, they are sadistic, enjoy physically hurting their partner. The sad part is that it can and often is used against them by 5s and 8s who love that sort of stuff, due to their lack of sensation.

6s like money, they like to look good, and usually they use their resources in pursuit of knowledge or to move up the hierarchy. They believe that the survival of society should be one of its founding principles, along with its strength. The basis for all OCIM societies: create a structure and force others to integrate into it. Again, 6s don’t like to think, so usually they get their ideas from someone else. At the same time, they are deathly afraid of someone calling them out on being wrong or dumb. High pain tolerance, sometimes they don’t even notice that they’re hurt, but they do draw pleasure from hurting others. They care too much about the law, though, and about not being labeled as a criminal, so they don’t do that. Unless, of course, they have an established relationship, they usually are abusive and controlling, and it is not so easy to find people who would share 6s’ idea of a relationship (although they exist, of course).

Almost always religious. There are exceptions like, for example, Jordan Peterson, but even he is clearly interested in Christianity beyond just the historical events and believes in the symbolism in the Bible. I mentioned how 1s like to say things that seem outrageous to others, because it helps them grab attention. 6s also like to say stuff that makes no sense, but they do it to cause others' emotions. The other difference will be in the kinds of things they talk about. 6s usually talk about conspiracies, the supernatural, paranormal, religion, things like that. Quite often, you can meet 6s who understand that symbols and perceived patterns are nothing more than mere coincidences, and they build their understanding without them. Even then, if a stranger tells them that they need to spit over their shoulder or a curse will fall upon them, they will, “just in case, who knows, it could be true”. Almost all leaders of countries that are 6s use either religion or history, or both, to motivate the citizens or to justify their actions. And of course, they also create rituals/holidays, preferably emotionally charged, that are based on history or some supernatural cause.
