The Enneagram is a system which divides all human behavior into nine personality divisions. Your main type is whichever of those nine behaviors you use most, in your case Type 6w5. Your mean type, Type 5w4, is who you are on average, based on the sum influence of all nine behaviors.
Most Enneagram books and tests focus on main type and use an additional "variant" classification (instead of mean type) to account for the influence of all nine behavior types. This is the same thing as mean typing, except instead of 9 delineations, there are only three. Based on your test results your variant is Self Preservational. So when reading other Enneagram books or websites refer to the Type 6w5, Self Preservational variant descriptions.
Everyone utilizes (and should utilize) all nine behaviors to some degree, the problem is how to choose the right behavior in each situation. Ideal decision making is undermined by irrational habits and irrational motives. (Habit is how you do things and motive is why you do them.) The ideal is to prioritize intelligence/knowledge (type 5 behavior) in choosing how to act and why to act. If your main type and mean type are both five, your habits and motives are usually driven by intelligence/knowledge. For any other type combo, your decision making is compromised to some degree by irrationality. The root cause of irrationality is motivation based more on feelings and instincts than knowledge. Main type / mean type 1,2,3,4s are motivated more by feelings (desire for security) and 6,7,8,9s are motivated more by instincts (desire for pleasure). Even if your main type is 5, if you have a non 5 mean type, underneath the surface of your rational manner lies an overall irrational motivation driven by instinct/feelings (extreme example: serial killer).
Intelligent thinking exemplified by the scientific method (learn/observe, theorize, experiment, analyze results, modify - repeat cycle) is the spine of progressive human evolution and becoming more fivish means applying that system to your own life. Choosing to always be a tough person (type 8), nice person (type 9), insecure person (type 4), reduces your options and compromises your problems solving ability. Remember, our thinking ability has taken us from stone age cave people to abstract thinking creative beings, so listen to your feelings but use your mind to determine what makes sense.
