        WHETHER YOU MIGHT BE AN ENNEAGRAM STYLE SIX


        1. Do I constantly worry or engage in anticipatory planning in
           order to avoid negative possibilities? Do I enjoy facing risky
           situations and overcoming them?
        2. Do the four basic issues—anticipatory planning and worst-
           case scenarios, procrastination, loyalty, and focus on
           authority—apply to me?
        3. Does the Style Six leadership paradigm fit my view of
           leadership?
        4. Did I check 10 or more items in “Areas of Strength” and “Areas
           for Development”?
