The 6 METAL Personality
The Conduit
When we think of metal, we think of steel, gold, silver, copper, aluminum, brass, nickel, titanium, and others.
The 6 Metal and 7 Metal personalities are similar to an electrical capacitor. A capacitor is a vessel for storing energy. When it reaches its capacity, it releases a charge of electrical energy and fires a powerful spark. Electrical conductivity is a measure of a material’s ability to conduct an electric current.
6 Metal individuals are like a train in motion, moving speedily to get to the goal at hand. The metal train track is a direct route to the destination. They love to complete things and cross things off their list. They are extremely creative, intense, and have very active minds. Like a capacitor, energy flows through them. The 6 Metal personality is always looking for what can be done and then taking care of it. They take that approach both in their jobs and for their family members.
6 Metal people are very intuitive and can feel what others are feeling. They might not know why but they feel what is going on. They have a strong sense of responsibility and both 6 and 7 metal personalities have leadership qualities. If they follow their very first gut feeling, they are usually right. Often, they will overthink and overanalyze, which tends to cause them to second-guess themselves. They are decision makers and benefit from Earth personalities who love to collect information. They can get worn out if they do not take the time to recharge their batteries. They are usually great wits, and can make others laugh by their ability to share the funny and silly sides of life’s experiences.
They offer others a deeper perspective on things that they glean from their intuitive natures. Because their minds are so active, they benefit from athletics and exercise to bring them into their bodies. They can be cynical and appear curt.
