I don't think there are any kinds of jobs that I would reject for someone just because they are introverted. Granted this person may need some alone time to recharge, they can be surprisingly social in some cases. While I can acknowledge the question is kind of fun to ponder, maybe I'll think about this some and have a different answer.

A few more answers:

From lifemastertraining.com:

Suggested Job Type Almost any career, though often attracted to the justice system, the military, the corporate world and academia. Questioners often like being part of a team. Also health care and education. Quality Management, Quality Control, Inspection, etc.

From thegreatofficeescape.com:

Type 6 – I have read a lot about phobic/counterphobic sixes in various enneagram books and I must say that it’s hard to buy into the hype. A “counterphobic six” is really just a mood they might go through on a bad day. And certainly when considering a career, a six should think about who they really are, which is friendly, adaptable, cautious, meticulous, loyal and a great team player. By nature, they are not daredevil lawbreakers and, in the long run, would not be happy in occupations with high risk, no matter how “counterphobic” they may be feeling!

Suggested Careers for Sixes: There are plenty of great careers for sixes, providing there are plenty of jobs available.

* Paralegal
* Elementary School Teacher
* Child-Care Worker
* Administrative Assistant/Secretary
* Credit/Loans Officer or Counselor
* Escort/Security Guard
* Financial Aid Counselor
* Public Notary
* Actuarial Scientist
* Health and Safety Inspector
* Banker
* Technical Support
* Insurance Underwriter

From russellrowe.com:

Careers that appeal to Enneagram type SIXES

Though Sixes can be found in almost any career, they are often attracted to the justice > system, the military, the corporate world, and academia. Truth, justice, security, stability and belonging are big issues for Sixes so naturally they like to go into professions that give them the opportunity to protect others, fight injustices and allow themselves to feel safe, secure and part of a team. Many are in health care and education.

Counterphobic Sixes sometimes have jobs that involve risk. Those who lean toward the antiauthoritarian side are usually happier when self-employed. If Sixes are unhappy with their work situation, they are likely to become rebellious or secretive.
