Type 6 and decisions

"I tend to think of the 6 psyche as always attempting to seek equilibrium. If you keep this in mind, you'll answer many of your questions.

If you give a 6 options, they often start weighing the pros and cons of each side, not every really finding any way to solidly equilibriate the situation, so they get hung up and indecisive. I suggest framing questions in such a way where ambivalence is minimized.

For example, if you ask, "where do you want to go to dinner" unless the 6 has been thinking about something for a while, you're doomed. If I can generalize, they'll start bringing up as many categories of food as possible and start looking at the strengths and weaknesses of each.

6's thoughts when they hear "where do you want to go to dinner": "Chinese is tasty and spicy, but oily, but there will probably be leftovers. Indian is friggin' amazing, but not that cost-effective, Mexican is awesome, but it's so hard to do it right; if it's cheap it's crap and if it's expensive it's too fancy. Mediterranean is always a treat, but it's often not very filling." This is exponentially compounded by the 6 trying to incorporate the implicit or explicit desires of others present!

So, whey you get a, "I don't care" what they're saying is, "there is no way to process all of this data to come to an optimal conclusion.

So, try asking, "What are you more in the mood for, Mexican or Indian?" Or, better yet, "Wanna go get some Indian food?" I think if you bypass the equilibration mechanisms of the 6 psyche and get right to the irrational desires, which are ultimately responsible for making decisions anyway, you'll get a more straightforward answer."
