Does a 12 string acoustic guitar require different strings or are the usual six doubled up?

Only the 2 higher pitched strings are doubled, (high E, B). The first string of the lower pitched strings are normal, with the double string being a lighter gauge to facilitate an octave higher tuning. This method repeats itself for the Low E, A, D, & G strings.
