Coming to you from my convalescence after an op - with the Enneagram type 5.
The fives have some great strengths;
Firstly, their intellectual capacity and their ability to think deeply and critically are admirable. They are excellent researchers and often good problem solvers. They are naturally curious and have a thirst for knowledge. They can often see connections and patterns that others miss.
They’re fabulous in a pub quiz, though sometimes their knowledge is specialised, so then they’re just fabulous in certain rounds.
See if you recognise yourself, your child or your friends or partner...
Introspective
Analytical
Curious
Independent
Thoughtful
Reserved
Cerebral
Detached
Perceptive
Objective
Focused
Reclusive
