i don't see any solid explanations behind oliver being a 6w7 so i thought i'd share my analysis! please correct me if you notice any inaccuracies. a key attribute of a type 6 is their loyalty- they hang onto their beliefs and their friends. i haven't gotten too far into the show yet so i might be wrong but as of right now, he is dedicated to connor despite being used for information countless times. the main reason why he is like this is because he is terrified of losing connor. think about it like this: imagine you had one person who made you feel really special and you enjoyed their company. you love to spend time with them but they always make you do something for them related to work and they cancel on you for work many times. you know that you don't deserve to be treated like that however you also don't want to lose the connection you have with this person. thinking about it from this perspective helps you better understand why oliver holds onto connor and displays the core fears of a type 6 at heart. now, moving on to his wing. i saw a vote for w5 and am a bit confused. the core fears of a type 5 are being useless, incapable, and helpless. on the other hand, the core fears of a w7 are being deprived and in pain. when you think about it, oliver isn't necessarily scared of not being able to do anything. i mean, he has confronted connor in the past for mistreating him without fear. what really bothered him in this situation was that he was hurt by connor- he was being used. type 7s want to feel content and fulfilled, which is what oliver's relationship provided for him. combined with being a core type 6, oliver didn't want to lose his support/what makes him feel satisfied. in other words, connor's behavior sparked oliver's disintegration to a type 3. he became competitive and arrogant, getting infuriated by the fact that his talents were being exploited (as well as overestimating his own intelligence). it wasn't a matter of oliver being useless because he KNEW that he was useFUL to connor, which is what angered him in the first place. he wanted to avoid any conflict and maintain his happiness, which is WHY he handled it the way he did. oliver's 7 wing is what allows him to dismiss connor the way he does- oliver knows that the key to maintaining his happiness is by limiting conflict in his life. despite connor being a great support system to him, he is just as much as a stress-inducer (no hate to connor, i just don't like the way he treats and uses oliver in season 1 at least) also,, his tritype comes into play here as well. the 9 fix being from his desire to maintain internal and external peace in his environment (confronting connor yet still allowing him back into his life) as well as the 2 fix being from his desire to feel loved and valued (sticking with connor despite the cheating, lies, and exploitation)
