§ Sixes can sometimes misinterpret a text as more negative than it really is because the nuances are missing due to brevity.

THE DETAILS ABOUT PRINT® 6
The unconscious motivator of the PRINT® Six is to be safe and secure. They seek to avoid risk, uncertainty and unanticipated change. They are dependable individuals who need stability in their lives. They usually have some inner anxiety. When they work through that anxiety, they become very powerful for themselves. Because Sixes like to be safe and secure, they tend to be very prudent and look at situations from all sides. They have a remarkable ability to uncover hidden agendas. They put out requests to lots of people to get opinions to see if there is something they may have missed and need to analyze before making decisions. When they are ready and decide to move, they move very strongly and with great boldness.
In Shadow, Sixes are extremely worrying, very negative and very pessimistic. They complain a lot. If something breaks, a Six in Shadow would classically respond “we’ll never be able to fix this.”
Best Self Six’s are vigilant, sensitive to pending danger and challenges, and need to be fully prepared. They will ask, “Why is something happening?” They will challenge a situation and ask tough questions because they need to understand, to know and sort things through. They make sure there are no hidden caveats and are good trouble shooters. They are not given to whimsy in their thinking and their lives.
In Shadows, Sixes can become really mistrustful, highly inflexible, and people are guilty until proven innocent. If you breach their trust in any way, it is very, very hard to win them back.
In Best Self, Sixes are very warm and friendly, love to be with people they trust and are familiar with. They can let their hair down and have a good time. They are usually a strong cohesive force for their group.
