Type 5 here-I found a career as a medical coder so my entire job revolves around me reading medical records and learning about medical conditions, and the treatments and procedures for these conditions...plus-I get to work from home ALONE. lol. And what do I do in my downtime??? Read-and not novels of course, it’s non-fiction, textbooks, etc. so I can learn more.
Oh! I was just thinking about how I don't think I am a 5 (66%) Type 8 (71%). I think I am more of an 8, but when I read this I thought...oh, that sounds like such a great job, maybe I should try that when I retire. LOL
@Brooke Morgan wow I’m a type 5 and will soon be finishing my certification for medical coding. I specifically wanted to do it cause it could be remote. If you have any advice about it I’ll love to here anything you think is useful to know ☺️
I am so glad you mentioned that we like to work behind closed doors. I am a law student and our professors keep recommending study groups, but I HATE study groups. I feel it sucks all the energy out of me and stresses me when I can't go at my own pace or am interrupted in my "study flow".
As a “high 5”, I can confirm this is an accurate description of a type 5. A conversation at the office with too many personal details is “exhausting”. A type 5 wants to get the job done, and talk about personal stuff after office hours. I guess this is part of setting boundaries.
I'm a 5w4 INTP. I relate to almost all of this. I don't relate to the minimalism. I have a large room in the basement of my house and it is filled with all of my things: books, records, models, crafts, musical instruments, hobbies...all of the things I like to entertain myself with. The walls are covered with posters and photos and art that I like. I have post-its everywhere with quotes I like and things I want to remember every day. No matter where I am, I must have a space like this where there is a door that can be closed and other people are not allowed. I was like this as a child, and still am in my mid-40s.
"they don't like unwanted attention". I guess that summarizes the whole idea of what a type 5 is. I'm a type 5 and, even though I LOVE being involved in the decision-making processes, every time any sort of attention is required is consumes energy. Because we observe everything around us, energy managing becomes vital. Attention means that we need to direct time (which is the MOST precious thing for 5) towards something that'll be exhausting somehow. The video is SO accurate btw! Thank you for sharing with us! =]
I had to share this video with my few close friends and family because it explained me a type 5w4 and a infj. I have been working on my growth. Now I don't have to tell everyone I'm an alien waiting to be beamed back home.😂
@ D Boss lady: We do feel quite alien as if we’re outsiders looking at “normal people” but thank goodness the enneagram understands all of us. Hillary does such a great job explaining it!
5w6 here. "Sharing something personal at work can lead to deeper relationships which can lead to more effective teamwork." Those are the very reasons why we don't share personal things at work.
Speaking as a five... You are so very right about the closed door working style. And no, it is definitely not ok to stop by to "chat". If the conversation doesn't have a purpose it may never end! I agree that clear expectations are important in every area of life for a five. Thanks for this video. A big part of my learning the Enneagram is to improve professional relationships. I can see how you have to put yourself out there for other people to feel comfortable with you. Plenty of people have compared me to a robot when it comes to work, not the most relatable/approachable.
This video makes me feel so seen. And yes, I do not like to be surprised with meetings and or interviews out of the group. I like time to prepare. I have been this way since I was a child.
I feel being a 5w4 and learned my intuition is far better than my logic which is still good. Yes, why is important. Im an infj-t 5w4 so one of those thinkiest feelers.
I'm also an INFJ-t type 5. I am not sure if I have a wing, still discovering. I have found that when my logic and intuition meet up then I know I am getting the right answers 😊
@@kimbathurston2705 usually me too, the further we go through this year though the harder it is to think and feel. Soul crushing. Ill bounce back but im finding burntout again. Hey to all yall INFJ, stay safe stay weird.
@desertrosereads me too. Like 80%. Lately though with our world in a bad place, im not feeling it because im feeling not much i can do about it and it hurts. You know?
I am a type 5 social. And it feels so wildly different to the general description of a type 5. True, I think and then exist, but I feel so disconnected to the general stereotyping of a 5, In the emotional process and social skills. I’d love to see more content about the dynamics of a type 5 social.
Oh. My. God. I had no idea I was such a type 5!!! At work I keep one headphone out/in to make sure I don’t miss anything but I’m usually in my own zone and get so annoyed when people interrupt me or break my concentration 😂 it’s taken practice to breathe and allow distraction and even breaks at work because I get so into “work mode.” But that means I also burn out quicker definitely. I’m actually just coming out of a little recharge/hermit phase right now 😅 also about giving them time to process? Wow that’s taken so long for me to figure out. When I feel put on the spot with a question I can get so overwhelmed, even if it’s not a necessarily difficult one. This validates so much for me and helps me gain a lot more understanding. Thank you! 🙏🏼
I just found out a week ago about the enneagram. I took an assessment and it was determined that I am a type 5. I have to say I have taken personality assessments my whole life and they’ve helped in that they mentioned things about me. But this one here has me spot on. After the assessment I honestly felt...yes felt, like I finally had an answer. I understand now why being alone soothes me. Why I need a nap after an exhausted day of dealing with ppl. Why I hate small talk. This was the best thing I could learn about myself and in doing so I’m now equipped with what I need to get along better in this intrusively awkward world and it’s ppl. Thanks for the insight. I would have loved to have known about this sooner in life but as they say when the student is ready the teacher will appear.
Every time I took different Enneagram tests, my two highest numbers were always 4 and 5, but when I read the description of 4 I definitely felt that to be stronger. Regardless, I still see many of the type 5 characteristics within myself -I have such a desire to explore knowledge and go deep into how things work, but the reason I know I'm a 4 is that my emotions get in the way of being able to solely focus on the task at hand - I start imbuing my emotions into the task. I can go very deep into both my emotional and rational/objective side, but the emotional side USUALLY wins. I also enjoy doing things alone and being completely independent, but I think that's also a quality of type 4. But one of the things about type 5 that I relate to the most is watching and observing - I wait until I have sufficient information before doing anything.
I'm a 5 and this is so spot-on! I was actually already tapping the table and nodding ("Yes, this!") when you said "5s comment below...!" 😂 Truly fantastic depiction 🙌🏼
I listened to this as a parent of a type 5 and literally nodded my head the ENTIRE video. I do a lot of listening about complex things I don’t understand and give that prep time she needs before meeting. She also utilizes the “mommy and me” sharing journal to communicate ideas.
@ Jennifer: What a great parent you are for doing this research regarding your child’s personality style. The mommy and me journal is quite an interesting concept. Bravo!
ACCURATE! All of this! My time is scared, just that simple! I rarely emotionally react to much in a negative way. Waste my time, and I almost cannot control my disgust.
This was SO ACCURATE. I actually don't mind people dropping by my desk, BUT as a 5, I prefer they do as much as they can to solve the problem first before asking me how to do something. Probably goes with valuing independence for myself and in others. And YES YES YES to alone time. Even as a kid, my family would ask me to come downstairs because I'd spend hours just reading and recharging in my room.
I'm a 5 and managed to work in an "open office" space for 5 years. No problem with people stopping by to chat. In fact I love that, within reasonable limits! I don't think all type 5s need to isolate to be productive.
Type 5 here… all I heard was spot on! I am able to be social and share my personal life, but it is sooo taxing and draining and I can sense myself withdrawing deep inside and becoming like the little person in the machine puppet looking out the eyes 🤣 Art therapy has helped me connect with my feelings in the moment and has allowed my logical nature merge with my intuition. So grateful for that.
I’m also a 5, possibly a 5w4, and when I discovered the art of photography, I realized that it’s a perfect marriage of the logical side of my brain and the creative side. I find it to be a great way to maintain a healthy balance between both that keeps me in a good headspace overall.
This is definitely right on. I would add that we hate meetings because we are looking for the WHY we are here, which is often buried in 90% unnecessary information. This will quickly send us into checking out mode.
It’s so true that I work for a long time under covers before producing any visible results. This gives an impression to my superiors that I’m just slacking off, whereas, in reality, I’m constantly working on the task. I know a possible solution is to keep giving updates on my work progress to my superior, but I dislike the idea of showcasing incomplete work; and it also leaves a chance for them to influence or bring changes to the plan I originally had for finishing the task. I dislike that too. I’m open to accepting changes after I’ve at least completed a prototype of the task at hand, it might be my ego, or my perfectionist nature. It might also be due to my independent nature.
Hahahahaha When people start to talk to me about his life... my head start to think "I dont want to know that, just tell me the facts of problem and Im gonna give u the solution" hahahahaha when it happens some times I said "oh ok, so u was telling me the problem what...?" And then we go back to the point!!!! 😎 Hahahaha
As a type 5 most of this is extremely accurate. I might be a little odd in that I love talking to people, about anything, whatever the person wants to talk about, it used to drain me in the past but now I look at it as a learning experience, a chance for me to understand people more, which most of us 5’s aren’t great with people.
I like being the one that does all the work in a group of nonworkers because I don’t have to depend on them then But love the time estimate idea; I’ll ignore any call unless I get a voicemail or message telling me what the conversation will be about. And I like sharing facts about me, but only the more shallow ones like, favorite things, nothing extremely deep and personal about me I do love socializing and make an effort to but I am very particular and reserve it every so often
5w4 (INFJ) I have always felt (ha!) that working by myself is 10x more productive and easy than working in a group. When a group of people take more than 5 mins hemming and hawing about an inconsequential decision, I’m out.
I want to wear this video around my neck! Lol this is so right on. It is hard to open up. That was my news yrs resolution. Then Covid hit and now I'm enjoying this alone time. Hahaha
I'm loving quarantine! I feel terrible about living it but I feel like there are so many less demands on my time... And seeing other people requires heavy planning- which I also appreciate
Me with my kids, “ I love you so much! Are you all set with your snack and drink and a show? Oh, good! Now leave me alone for the next few hours and only interrupt me in the kitchen if you really need something.”
In regards to the "I think" statements, I personally tend to go back and forth between "I think" and "I feel" statements depending on the situation. Perhaps this is a 5w4 thing which I believe I am. I use "I think" when I'm near positive/positive about something. These things are usually more factual things and info. I use "I feel" in matters of the heart, emotions, obscurity, open-ended things, or personal opinions. Often the "I feel"s are followed by noncommittal words/phrases such as: perhaps, maybe, in some cases, it could be, sometimes, etc. I would wish people to take "I feel"s with a grain of salt and not necessarily hold me to those statements just in case something goes wrong or I change my point of view (after new info comes to light). I suppose it's a protection thing. Gotta cover the a**! Hehe
I don't know if I'm a type 5 per say, but most of this (like +90% of this) is very accurate concerning how I work and think. RUclips was the one who decided that I'm a type 5. I've been watching a million "What does being called an INTP mean?" videos last month and just discovered there was this thing called an enneagram last week. All it took were two searches: "What is an enneagram? and "How would I know what enneagram type I am?". Now my feed is populated with type 5 videos. If I'm not an enneagram 5, then I have once again broken the youtube algorithm thanks to my curiosity and from experience, it'll take months to repair the damage.😂
INTJ enneagram 5w6 here.. After finding out about my personality type I'm more confident about myself and I get to know myself better.. I am exactly like what you've explained here.. I was so frustrated with myself because I felt like I don't fit into the society.. Now that I know it's just how I'm built, I accepted all my strengths and weaknesses 😊
I'm a five and being collected is not my forte, I'm trying so hard to be one tho 😭. And I feel like I'm the emotional/melodramatic side of a 5. My MBTI is INFP but my eneagram is 5. My guess is although I am a natural feeler, but I want to balance that by using my thinking ability more on my daily basis
I recently found your channel and I have really been enjoying your content. I am the bohemian and my husband is the philospher. We definitely do things as people and as a couple that are not the mainstream, and we really appreciate enneagram content that helps us understand each other better.
Hi, I’m fairly new to the whole enneagram thing but SO many dots have been connected since I started learning more about it. I use to think I was broken or something because I don’t get attached to people easily. And I absolutely despise working in a group with people who do not put in the proper level of work needed! I would rather just do it myself.
I love that you said to give a five time to respond or to give them notice. I have noticed for myself that if someone gives me a plan for example today let’s go shopping or go out to dinner or something at a certain time I can plan in my head to be OK to do that with whoever has asked me to do it. But I cannot just on the spot go and do that thing that is asked of me. I really think that I am an agoraphobic. I would be interested to know if type fives are agoraphobic.
Iv taken the test twice and have gotten 5w6 and it really resonated with me, however I took it again since some stressful things have happened this year personally and it showed I scored as a 5 but the 9 was also very high. Those cant be a wing but they're both the withdrawn type.
Also a 5 can be a micromanager if the other workers genuinely get along with them..usually happens because 5s see work settings as like a playtime haha
that's totally accurate! actually i might say that i'm a little bit SCARED too because lol, you described me perfectly. (i'm 17 if you wanna know, idk.)
It’s interesting for me. I’m a type 5 (I didn’t want to believe it at first) and I’m also a social worker. How those that work for me I don’t know. I deal with peoples emotions and I’m okay with that as longer they don’t expect me to show my emotions.
I’ll completely loose my mind if there’s a problem, and the other person resorts to repeating feelings…instead of stating the facts, so we can find a solution..it comes across as manipulative to me when they’re avoided.
A year ago I got 5w4, but the other day I got 8w7. Wonder if these two mistype? I watched this and the type 8 video and resonate with both. I have the straight to the point, let's get things done attitude with my to do lists, but I'm also very inquisitive and love to learn and extremely independent. I usually get INTJ/ENTJ in MBTI if that helps. Love the videos btw and you get straight to business quickly!
Great vídeo!! I really feel like this in my workplace, but I work at a school so it is very hard to get silence! I arrive home exhausted of all that noise and confusion. Where I struggle the most is that I get sick of my jobs really fast, like, I feel like I have learned what I needed and that brought me to a routine where nothing new happens, so I often get a little bored and feel like I have to change my job or my position in the company. What do you think about the similarities between MBTI and Enneagram? I am INFJ and I am a lot like type 5 but I also feel like I am a little 9. I would say most ISTJ for example would be typed as 5. Have you ever researched that? Thank you!
Oh, I bet it is hard to find silence working at a school 😩 I laughed when you said you get sick of jobs really fast because you learned what you needed to learn and get bored...I bet so many 5’s can relate! And ye so believe there is lots of similarities MBTI and the Enneagram.
OMG, I do hate personal drama at work so much. It's not that I can't deal with it, but it puts off actual work and then I have to put other stuff off and I that one blow-up between two colleagues shifts my schedule for days on end. I hate it. I keep it in and don't whine about my kid at work, why can't they? lol
I'm a 5 w6. I watch heart monitors. I detest when people lie or mislead me. I can fake it with small talk for a full 5 minutes. I got in trouble at work when a lady tried hugging me there. I said please don't hug me, but apparently I'm the @sshole.
ima type 5w4 and infp soo ig i say "i feel" and "i think" almost equally lol ps im an infp soooooo anyways i aspire to become a singer someday cuz ye for me i kinda like attention yet am uncomfortable when given 👀 but fuckk i wanna help ppl but like by being myself and being an inspiration not literally helping idk not seems like my thing, id be drained asf
As a 5W6 I like to think we represent the most congruent portion of the Enneagram. I emote 5W4, sit in 5, think in 5W6, show stress with 5 to 7 and my confidence is 5 to 8. Thus epitomizing 4 through 8. All of the 'thinking' types with a wing on both of the others. Thoughts?
I've done multiple Enneagram tests and each one decides I'm a Type 5. And yet, I do not fit perfectly the strict stereotype you describe. I have strong tendencies towards type 7 and 8 but my default is Type 5 but the boundaries of that Type are a bit more porous for me. I'm a lawyer and engineer, but both need me to work in a team at least some of the time, which I hate. No perfect job for the perfect Type 5, I'm afraid.
At the worst of my type 5 i had maybe 15 different ticks haha - yes theyre gone now, in case anyone wants to know they start because continually aggravating the same area of the body creates........feeling ;P
I don’t have a problem understanding other people’s emotions, but I do get a little irritated if coworkers let their emotions stop them from doing their work.
All I hear is dopamine… everything seems to connect back to it.. The conserving energy thing has been devastating for the past 15 years. I will definitely exercise more
Wings would be a 4 or a 6. They have to be on either side of your type. I have a type 5 wings video I’ll link that will help you 😃 ruclips.net/video/Nm39EfcT16I/видео.html
As an older type 5 I can say that being social is being plastic. If conversation isn't constructive then why??? It is all about using energy for positive growth. Boring for most but essential for me.
Woooow,excellent description u Give to me,speacially at the part of "Surprise". p:I do appreciate your job.(T) q:thanks for sharing these datas.(T) p^q=True

Even as a kid, my family would ask me to come downstairs because I'd spend hours just reading and recharging in my room.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thanks for sharing! My type 5 son is just like you!
I'm a 5 and managed to work in an "open office" space for 5 years. No problem with people stopping by to chat. In fact I love that, within reasonable limits! I don't think all type 5s need to isolate to be productive.
I’m a 5w4 and I am a total maximalist! I love covering my walls in all kinds of weird unique stuff you would never see anywhere else
Type 5 here… all I heard was spot on! I am able to be social and share my personal life, but it is sooo taxing and draining and I can sense myself withdrawing deep inside and becoming like the little person in the machine puppet looking out the eyes 🤣
Art therapy has helped me connect with my feelings in the moment and has allowed my logical nature merge with my intuition. So grateful for that.
I’m also a 5, possibly a 5w4, and when I discovered the art of photography, I realized that it’s a perfect marriage of the logical side of my brain and the creative side. I find it to be a great way to maintain a healthy balance between both that keeps me in a good headspace overall.
I am a 5 and everything you said was exactly right on...thank you so much!!!
Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is definitely right on. I would add that we hate meetings because we are looking for the WHY we are here, which is often buried in 90% unnecessary information. This will quickly send us into checking out mode.
It’s so true that I work for a long time under covers before producing any visible results. This gives an impression to my superiors that I’m just slacking off, whereas, in reality, I’m constantly working on the task. I know a possible solution is to keep giving updates on my work progress to my superior, but I dislike the idea of showcasing incomplete work; and it also leaves a chance for them to influence or bring changes to the plan I originally had for finishing the task. I dislike that too. I’m open to accepting changes after I’ve at least completed a prototype of the task at hand, it might be my ego, or my perfectionist nature. It might also be due to my independent nature.
Hahahahaha When people start to talk to me about his life... my head start to think "I dont want to know that, just tell me the facts of problem and Im gonna give u the solution" hahahahaha when it happens some times I said "oh ok, so u was telling me the problem what...?" And then we go back to the point!!!! 😎 Hahahaha
😂😂😂
As a type 5 most of this is extremely accurate. I might be a little odd in that I love talking to people, about anything, whatever the person wants to talk about, it used to drain me in the past but now I look at it as a learning experience, a chance for me to understand people more, which most of us 5’s aren’t great with people.
Great content. I am a type 5 and noticed that whenever I need to have more energy in me I go and exercise more. It has always worked for me!
So great!! Thank you!
Excellent insights. Thanks.
Thanks!
Spot on
I like being the one that does all the work in a group of nonworkers because I don’t have to depend on them then
But love the time estimate idea; I’ll ignore any call unless I get a voicemail or message telling me what the conversation will be about.
And I like sharing facts about me, but only the more shallow ones like, favorite things, nothing extremely deep and personal about me
I do love socializing and make an effort to but I am very particular and reserve it every so often
5w4 (INFJ) I have always felt (ha!) that working by myself is 10x more productive and easy than working in a group. When a group of people take more than 5 mins hemming and hawing about an inconsequential decision, I’m out.
I want to wear this video around my neck! Lol this is so right on.
It is hard to open up. That was my news yrs resolution. Then Covid hit and now I'm enjoying this alone time. Hahaha
LOL!
I'm loving quarantine! I feel terrible about living it but I feel like there are so many less demands on my time... And seeing other people requires heavy planning- which I also appreciate
I’m a 5 and this is spot on! Female at that!
That t shirt!! Lol yes I love it 😂😂
😂😂😂
Me with my kids, “ I love you so much! Are you all set with your snack and drink and a show? Oh, good! Now leave me alone for the next few hours and only interrupt me in the kitchen if you really need something.”
Omg! This is priceless! 😂😂😂
Lol this is exactly what I’d say if i were a mom
Accurate level💥🥲
Excellent video! I'm a type 5 and could see myself in a lot of what you said!
Awesome! 👏🏼
I got a 98% on type 5 and a 97% on type 8. Makes sense as I'm also an ENTP female.
So spot-on on everything.. corresponds exactly to my MBTI intp type. 👍💯
i’m a 5w6, this was v accurate
Thanks! I love hearing from other type 5s!
Nailed it
🎉🎉🎉
In regards to the "I think" statements, I personally tend to go back and forth between "I think" and "I feel" statements depending on the situation. Perhaps this is a 5w4 thing which I believe I am. I use "I think" when I'm near positive/positive about something. These things are usually more factual things and info. I use "I feel" in matters of the heart, emotions, obscurity, open-ended things, or personal opinions. Often the "I feel"s are followed by noncommittal words/phrases such as: perhaps, maybe, in some cases, it could be, sometimes, etc. I would wish people to take "I feel"s with a grain of salt and not necessarily hold me to those statements just in case something goes wrong or I change my point of view (after new info comes to light). I suppose it's a protection thing. Gotta cover the a**! Hehe
LOL! Yes! Total 5w4. Love it!
I don't know if I'm a type 5 per say, but most of this (like +90% of this) is very accurate concerning how I work and think. RUclips was the one who decided that I'm a type 5. I've been watching a million "What does being called an INTP mean?" videos last month and just discovered there was this thing called an enneagram last week. All it took were two searches: "What is an enneagram? and "How would I know what enneagram type I am?". Now my feed is populated with type 5 videos. If I'm not an enneagram 5, then I have once again broken the youtube algorithm thanks to my curiosity and from experience, it'll take months to repair the damage.😂
Best comment I’ve read all day!!! 😂
Hate drama at work! I love learning and alone time! What I hate is being in a project and team members dismiss my knowledge on a subject.
Yes! So good for a 5!
INTJ enneagram 5w6 here.. After finding out about my personality type I'm more confident about myself and I get to know myself better.. I am exactly like what you've explained here.. I was so frustrated with myself because I felt like I don't fit into the society.. Now that I know it's just how I'm built, I accepted all my strengths and weaknesses 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love it!
I'm a five and being collected is not my forte, I'm trying so hard to be one tho 😭. And I feel like I'm the emotional/melodramatic side of a 5. My MBTI is INFP but my eneagram is 5. My guess is although I am a natural feeler, but I want to balance that by using my thinking ability more on my daily basis
This is spot on in describing my husband.
Yay! Love this!
I recently found your channel and I have really been enjoying your content. I am the bohemian and my husband is the philospher. We definitely do things as people and as a couple that are not the mainstream, and we really appreciate enneagram content that helps us understand each other better.
Thank you for sharing this with me! I’m so happy my channel is helping you guys understand each other even better!
I'm kinda scared of how accurate this is for me.
Yes, It can be shocking LOL
Hi, I’m fairly new to the whole enneagram thing but SO many dots have been connected since I started learning more about it. I use to think I was broken or something because I don’t get attached to people easily. And I absolutely despise working in a group with people who do not put in the proper level of work needed! I would rather just do it myself.
Hi Rhona! Thanks for letting us in on your journey! I loved reading about you!
this is excellent thanks
You're very welcome!
Wow. Perfect description ! I'am a 5 !
Awesome!
I love that you said to give a five time to respond or to give them notice. I have noticed for myself that if someone gives me a plan for example today let’s go shopping or go out to dinner or something at a certain time I can plan in my head to be OK to do that with whoever has asked me to do it. But I cannot just on the spot go and do that thing that is asked of me. I really think that I am an agoraphobic. I would be interested to know if type fives are agoraphobic.
Love that! I think some 5s can be agoraphobic. Thanks for sharing!
Iv taken the test twice and have gotten 5w6 and it really resonated with me, however I took it again since some stressful things have happened this year personally and it showed I scored as a 5 but the 9 was also very high. Those cant be a wing but they're both the withdrawn type.
Also a 5 can be a micromanager if the other workers genuinely get along with them..usually happens because 5s see work settings as like a playtime haha
that's totally accurate! actually i might say that i'm a little bit SCARED too because lol, you described me perfectly. (i'm 17 if you wanna know, idk.)
😂😂😂
I'm a 5, I always wonder why I've diffculty with emotions, now I know, thanls!
Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
haha 5w6 data entry working towards being a data analyst... this is me lol
LOL!!!
Proud 5, here. :)
Yes! Love it!!!! I love 5s!
It’s interesting for me. I’m a type 5 (I didn’t want to believe it at first) and I’m also a social worker. How those that work for me I don’t know. I deal with peoples emotions and I’m okay with that as longer they don’t expect me to show my emotions.
Yeessss! I hate surprises! 😂😂😂
Hahaha!!!
Good information!
Thanks!
Wow, I feel seen
I’ll completely loose my mind if there’s a problem, and the other person resorts to repeating feelings…instead of stating the facts, so we can find a solution..it comes across as manipulative to me when they’re avoided.
A year ago I got 5w4, but the other day I got 8w7. Wonder if these two mistype? I watched this and the type 8 video and resonate with both. I have the straight to the point, let's get things done attitude with my to do lists, but I'm also very inquisitive and love to learn and extremely independent. I usually get INTJ/ENTJ in MBTI if that helps. Love the videos btw and you get straight to business quickly!
Great vídeo!! I really feel like this in my workplace, but I work at a school so it is very hard to get silence! I arrive home exhausted of all that noise and confusion. Where I struggle the most is that I get sick of my jobs really fast, like, I feel like I have learned what I needed and that brought me to a routine where nothing new happens, so I often get a little bored and feel like I have to change my job or my position in the company. What do you think about the similarities between MBTI and Enneagram? I am INFJ and I am a lot like type 5 but I also feel like I am a little 9. I would say most ISTJ for example would be typed as 5. Have you ever researched that? Thank you!
Oh, I bet it is hard to find silence working at a school 😩 I laughed when you said you get sick of jobs really fast because you learned what you needed to learn and get bored...I bet so many 5’s can relate! And ye so believe there is lots of similarities MBTI and the Enneagram.
OMG, I do hate personal drama at work so much. It's not that I can't deal with it, but it puts off actual work and then I have to put other stuff off and I that one blow-up between two colleagues shifts my schedule for days on end. I hate it. I keep it in and don't whine about my kid at work, why can't they? lol
😅
I'm a 5 w6. I watch heart monitors. I detest when people lie or mislead me. I can fake it with small talk for a full 5 minutes. I got in trouble at work when a lady tried hugging me there. I said please don't hug me, but apparently I'm the @sshole.
Yep! Good stuff. My type 5 son would say the same thing. Thanks for sharing!
ima type 5w4 and infp soo ig i say "i feel" and "i think" almost equally lol
ps im an infp soooooo
anyways i aspire to become a singer someday cuz ye for me i kinda like attention yet am uncomfortable when given 👀 but fuckk i wanna help ppl but like by being myself and being an inspiration not literally helping idk not seems like my thing, id be drained asf
The no-nonsense attitude and objectiveness that 5's have made me think that we'd probably work just fine together, but we don't seem to.
I'm an 8.
As a 5W6 I like to think we represent the most congruent portion of the Enneagram. I emote 5W4, sit in 5, think in 5W6, show stress with 5 to 7 and my confidence is 5 to 8. Thus epitomizing 4 through 8. All of the 'thinking' types with a wing on both of the others.
Thoughts?
I've done multiple Enneagram tests and each one decides I'm a Type 5. And yet, I do not fit perfectly the strict stereotype you describe. I have strong tendencies towards type 7 and 8 but my default is Type 5 but the boundaries of that Type are a bit more porous for me. I'm a lawyer and engineer, but both need me to work in a team at least some of the time, which I hate. No perfect job for the perfect Type 5, I'm afraid.
Hmmmm i resonates to all of them but except the clean room HAHAHHA
😂😂😂
At the worst of my type 5 i had maybe 15 different ticks haha - yes theyre gone now, in case anyone wants to know they start because continually aggravating the same area of the body creates........feeling ;P
I don’t have a problem understanding other people’s emotions, but I do get a little irritated if coworkers let their emotions stop them from doing their work.
All I hear is dopamine… everything seems to connect back to it..
The conserving energy thing has been devastating for the past 15 years. I will definitely exercise more
Is 5w1 possible? Im a 5 but im not sure about my wing/s. Am i a w4? w6? Or w1? My tritype is 514.
My mbti personality type is INFP-T
Wings would be a 4 or a 6. They have to be on either side of your type. I have a type 5 wings video I’ll link that will help you 😃
ruclips.net/video/Nm39EfcT16I/видео.html
I am a type 5 and I don't hate people nearly that much.
Me, Type #5... all true :-)
🎉🎉🎉
INTJ and INTP correspond 5?
INTP-T and 5w4 makes sense to me 🙂
As an older type 5 I can say that being social is being plastic. If conversation isn't constructive then why??? It is all about using energy for positive growth. Boring for most but essential for me.
Just found out I’m a 5 today. Someone been following me and taking notes apparently 👀
Hahaha!
INTJ Type 5 wing 6 here closed door yes, small groups no, Research research research.
LOL! Yes!
5 loves to think, the brain is the organ that uses most of the caloric intake....so yes need lots of recharge....yes?
Woooow,excellent description u Give to me,speacially at the part of "Surprise".
p:I do appreciate your job.(T)
q:thanks for sharing these datas.(T)
p^q=True
Yeah, I don't do "I feel" statements.
I do, but also use I think-statements. It depends on my audience and what I want to communicate. I feel leans to intuition more than I think. /5w6
