The 6/2 profile (Role Model / Hermit) is one of the twelve profiles of Human Design, a modern esoteric system originated in 1987 by Ra Uru Hu and presented here as a contemporary framework rather than ancient wisdom. A profile is formed from two of the six lines, a scheme the system borrows from the six lines of an I Ching hexagram and reads psychologically: the profile pairs a conscious line with an unconscious one to give an archetypal role. The 6/2 profile joins the roles named Role Model / Hermit. The line names and their meanings are Human Design's own twentieth-century reading, not a claim inherited from the Chinese classic whose six-line figures suggested the structure; they are described here as the system presents them, not as verified fact.
Human Design describes the sixth line, Role Model, as living a distinctive three part life, active through roughly the first thirty years, withdrawn into a more detached, observational phase often called being on the roof through about fifty, and only afterward settling into the line's objective, lived wisdom; the second line, Hermit, is described as carrying a natural talent that is largely hidden from the person themselves and needs solitude, called out only by others. The 6/2 profile combines the two: within the system's own account, the sixth line's own observational, roof bound phase and the second line's need for retreat are held to reinforce one another, making this one of the profiles the system describes as needing the most private time before any public role model authority is recognised.
