How 6w7 differs from 6w5

Growth runs toward Nine: healthy Sixes find the calm underneath the scanning. The world stops being a threat matrix and becomes mostly fine, mostly workable.

Stress runs toward Three: watch for frantic image-managed busyness, competing instead of collaborating, and productivity as anxiety with a to-do list.
