The Enneagram is a model of nine personality types that looks at the entirety of a human’s existence. Type 6s on the Enneagram are called The Loyalist. At their healthiest, sixes are reliable, trustworthy, and desiring of certainty and guidance. They fiercely fight for their beliefs and for their friends. Above all, sixes strive for support and in turn generously exhibit this support for others. As such, these socks exhibit a slip-stitch mosaic motif that will envelop your foot in a double layer of comfort and security, reminiscent of the support Type 6s give to those around them.
