Differentiating between type 1 and type 6
E1 vs E6
I was just thinking about what distinguishes type 1 anxiety and fear from type 6 anxiety and fear and about some other tricky distinctions between the types. Both types share a skeptical and critical mindset. Both types are heavily influenced by the super ego and both want to have a lot of control over themselves. Type 1 fears and anxieties, seem less externally based. Less connected to an authority (be it a system or a person) and more internally grounded. Type 1 has no problem going against the grain if things rub their moral code or ideas the wrong way, while six seems to have a much more charged relationship in relation to authority and also regarding trust. Type one doesn't seem to have many issues with trust, if anything, perhaps they might expect a bit too much and hold others (and themselves) to a standard that isn't realistic.
Trust in type sixes is more fragile, they naturally seem more skeptical and often questions whether someone will put their actions where their mouth is. Some sixes air these concerns immediately and others stay warm and nice, but they still keep their distance and they still remain very vigilant of any potential missteps. Ones might be critical, but they are not waiting for you to slip up
For type ones, their relationship with anger and their own feelings seems more charged and strained. Sixes may not want to express themselves out of fear, just like ones can be shy and afraid they will express themselves poorly or that they make a bad mistake in front of others. Sixes do however have a sense of their own feelings, they are a reactive type, thoughts spill out of them, worries can be come clear, they might get angry, but that anger most likely subsides as quickly as it came. Type 6 needs to (and eventually definitely will) get things of their chest, talk out their fears, this helps them relieve some of the stress they carry inside. Some sixes might live in their head so much they don't realize how much fear they have nor how hypervigilant they are, but it shows in their body language and in their words.
Type ones have more issues with expression. If they feel it is okay to express themselves, they can show anger and emotion without restraint, but at many points the expression is blocked, as they often feel a particular emotion is not appropriate, a certain thought is not okay and think that the need to maintain proper control of themselves lest the unwanted feelings and thoughts come to fruition. A lot of pressure is kept inside. Feelings they don't think are okay sometimes don't even surface or become apparent to them, because they try so hard to do something else, think something else and correct their behavior. The anger type ones have seems to linger, seems to be more continuous, after a release of this anger, it is not gone, the frustration with themselves or the world around them still remains. Type one is thus in a sense more repressed, obstructed in it's flow.
There seems to be less doubt in the character that is type one, yet both type six and type one seem to often be relentless self-critics (and just as often also relentless critics of others). Both are afraid of slipping up, failing and making a mistake. Sixes are worried something might go wrong, not trusting themselves or the world around them and some sixes trust neither. type ones feel things will feel bad if they make a mistake or don't uphold themselves morally according to their own standards, which also causes them a great deal of anxiety and stress as they make sure that they are constantly aligned with these standards.
What do you all think? Is what I've described accurate?
