7:40 yes! Exactly. It really bothers me that people seem to use internet just for social media, when they really need for something important, they ask other people about it instead of searching.
And that’s okay! I suggest you watch Hillary’s other type 5 videos where she talks about the core motivation and fear of the 5, and any other types you think might be you!
@@francesca.pellegrino I have along with doing my own research and 5 sounds a lot like me. But from what I've seen and read 5s seem to be really reserved, and I am but I'll still talk to people even if it quickly drains my energy

Hi Hillary! How are you? I'm a 5w6, and suddenly I got really interested in Medicine. Do you think, based on my enneagram, that I could be a good surgeon?
I’m a 5 and I don’t like math or science 🤷🏼♀️ I used to but then I started really struggled with it and then started hating it. I love watching other people talk about it and seeing the end results!
Haha, me too! I'm more into literature, history and sociology/psychology, also I'm planning to study psychology after high school. I love helping people logically solve their problems and observe their actions, ways of coping and how their disorders makes them act. It's really interesting!
5w4 here, and sign 10 was pretty accurate haha I do think I'm pretty territorial with my stuff and personal space - I mean, I have no problem lending my things to others, but they have to ask first or I'll freak out. But overall, I'd rather have people stay at the door instead of coming in, though. I don't feel a conection with any of those famous people... in fact, I don't think I relate to or look up to anyone famous - or from real life even. Maybe our own personal interests as fives will differ, not everyone will be into computer science, programing or etc. In my case, I like tech, I really do, but I put more effort in researching about how the human mind works, body language, facial expressions, how society and culture may affect that, etc.
You have very good points. I don't think 5s look up to celebrities...I don't think they would care about something like that. And they won't all be into those careers. Thanks for sharing from your point of view! So fascinating!

It really astonishes me how you display an interest for your son and how he's thinking and perspective on things. Maybe some people take for granted but I've never experienced anything like that from my parents. I recently moved to a different city to get away from my family. I'm watching this because a friend said she might think I'm a 5 but I associate myself in 2 also. Feeling rejected by my own family on top of being bullied throughout school taught me the most important thing is love when you only know the abscence of it.

I also think small talk is a good way to emotionally connect with someone rather than purely intellectually. It also makes people feel like you care about them.
10/10 haha! I'm an SP 5w4 and I work part time as a freelance editor. It's so perfect--I work as much or little as I want to and I'm alone all day, only communicating through email most of the time. I'm always learning, digging deep into each client's topic and I get paid to nitpick and "solve the puzzle" of making their book manuscript/dissertation the best version of itself. I also make homemade greeting cards (hopefully selling at a co-op soon) so that feeds my 4 wing on my own private terms as well.
Some great information in this video. I self identify as a type five, and this rang bells for me. And I wanted to add that depth of focus and perception a 5 brings doesn't just apply to scientific disciplines - a technical, problem solving mindset can be applied just as well to fitness, or gardening or music or whatever. So the intellectual thing is a tendency, habit or behaviour, rather than any specific interest. I'm sure you know this but wanted to add... Also, I have heard that the personality is very fluid until about 30 or 35.So if we type ourselves or another before then, we have too accept that we may change. Does that ring true for you? Thanks for the video!
Yes! You are so right that it just doesn't apply to scientific disciplines. Thank you for that insight! I would say that our type never changes but we might not truly know our type for a while. We may mistype ourselves based on our own self awareness or lack thereof.
Being INTJ 5w6 (JAVA programmer), I relate to 9 signs (not the last one, may be suits more xNTP) A precision for the eighth sign : I need to be alone to rest and regain energy (feeling exausted, like being a battery out of energy)
Hi Hillary! It’s me again! As a 4w5 I can relate to these as well. Especially the points on loving to learn about how things work, watching history documentaries, being tech support for my family, having tons of books, and wearing the same type of outfit that has that certain aesthetic in different ways. Oh and let’s not forget about being cynical lol. But I have feelings. Lots of them. Lol.
But not all type fives, I'm type five and I love fashion and make up. I have studied and researched it so much it's crazy. I know my body type, hair type, face shape. I know what colors and shapes look best, I know which countries have the best sunscreen and I know which countries give the best Bikini tans. It is because I'm type five I even went this far, Type five is a personality but it doesn't predict your hobbies and interests.
Yes I’m studying counselling. We have intricate understanding of how things work and when applied with say CBT or humanistic theories we can really work wonders and carve out a path for our clients to being laying their own bricks. Good luck!
Hahaha I related to all of these! I think the thing with privacy also has to do with how we view knowledge. We see knowledge and information as a powerful tool, and because of that we are very cautious about what personal information we share with others because what we share could potentially leave us vulnerable to others in some way. That sounds very cynical, but it just makes logical sense to me! As for dressing, a lot of the time I do just dress to not be naked and wear a very minimalist uniform of a black tshirt and jeans. However fashion is one of my interests and so I can enjoy spending time putting together outfits and getting dressed up! However I will usually spend a couple hours in one go in my wardrobe making outfits that I can remember so I can just throw them on if I need to later. I think the minimalist attire has more to do with not wanting to put energy into things we don't find interesting. If we're interested in clothes, we can actually get very into it. A good example of this I think would be the character Beth from The Queens Gambit who I also believe is a 5w4. I would say that after chess, her secondary interest is fashion!
Yay! Thank you for sharing. I love hearing from actual 5's points of view. I found myself nodding my head as I was reading your comment. Yep! Couldn't agree more. Amazing insight!
5w4, all 10 of these things were pretty accurate for me. The only thing I'd add is that although I do love learning from tv and movies, I'm also a big fan of fairly mindless anime. Its nice to turn the brain off once in a while, since I feel like I'm constantly trying to unravel how the world works and figuring out all these big questions 24/7. Also, ask your son if he's into playing around with the feature, google trends. I'm in love with that feature haha, i get the feeling other type fives are/would as well
The small talk resonated with me- especially in work settings where we have to "go around the circle and say something about yourself." I am definitely cynical in my mind, but it doesnt always translate into speech well, so I keep it in. I love fixing things and problem solving, though sometimes I feel like people expect me to be some profound deep thinker and I worry they will figure out the truth if I talk too much. Happy bday to your son!!! And yes, I agree with the whole google thing. It's ridiculous and frustrating that people dont just look into the answers themselves. I think the least they could do is groundwork for figuring stuff out and only ask if they are confused.
Maybe I am type 5, (i’m new to this) 😄 I like science so much and everything makes me curious. I dont really read that much only the things that picks my interest, but I always see to it that I get a perfect explaination to all my why questions. I wonder always in everything that I see, how it works and I’m so open minded. I’m still confused of my enneagram if I’m 5 or 4 type. I’m kinda good in art, but not to the extent that i express it through my feelings and emotions. My Mbti personality test is INTJ-T.
Music is not something that 5's take lightly. Strong likes and dislikes. Music does not change feelings or emotion. The music must match the current feeling or emotion.
A sexual 5 does lean toward more artistic jobs and writing. And female 5s look different sometimes I would love to see some male vs. female 5 or the counter type 5
If you like about an hour long or more videos about horror stories (most of them being real) and history than I recommend the youtube channel Wendigoon.
I got 9 out of 10 and can totally can relate, I scored typed 5 on the enneagram several times. I can do small talk as an INFJ and as I am friendly to be kind. But yes, I relate to all the others. In small talk I often I can get sarcastic and they shut up! I get awkward and they walk away. Nothing serious. I just can’t stand fake people. 😂
When you said "Observing your emotions instead of experiencing them" I had an epiphany! I'm a social 5w4 and an epiphany or really any sudden realization moment is what I live for so thank you for that 😅
I really like your work-and I’m a 5. However, I have a few issues with this one. None of your examples included a woman. This makes it harder to relate. I can extrapolate, but the books, wardrobe and everything else was only about your 18 yo son. TY for reading this.
I’m definitely a type 5w4 but I swing to 5w6, even as far as 7 and I scored really high as a type 1 as well. I honestly think I’ve spent so much time learning many things over the years, that I’ve picked up traits from other types.
Ha! Related to all of them 😂 I even looked down at what I was wearing and realized yeah, same thing different day lol Also being a detective would be AMAZING. I love true crime, forensics, and psychology. And does anyone remember Lizzie McGuire? I relate to that sarcastic inner voice hardcore lol although you’d probably never tell from the outside.
I'm a type 5 with balanced wings and work as an engineer. So much resonated with me. Most of my books, of which I have many, are non-fiction ranging from languages to DIY to Christianity to psychology and I definitely wear pretty much the same stuff every day. Thanks for the video
I took one of those tests, and my results were a type 5. My Meyers Briggs results were INFP. Even though I prefer facts over feelings, I feel as if I'm in touch with my emotions, but don't really know how to express them. When I was younger, I experienced emotions a lot stronger, but you can only get hurt so many times to where you learn to shut them off when bad things happen. I don't know if that makes any sense. I guess the point I'm trying to make is even though I'm emotionally available, I feel as if by others knowing I'm a type 5, people will believe I'm not emotionally available.
INFPs feel intense emotions but they are introverted so they also are not good at expressing them because have Fi. As a 5w4 intp I feel intense emotions at times too but I can logically explain my emotions once I actually figure out what I’m feeling( this can take days, weeks, years) because of my Ti and I don’t take it personally if people don’t agree with my emotions
I love 5s. Maybe it’s because I spent so much of my life living as one, but dang, a discussion with a 5 just is invigorating, inspires me to go do things. This week, I listened to Elon Musk on clubhouse, and he goes on a little bit about his life growing up, and it felt like a glimpse into the making of a 5. Then he went on to hijack the interview by bringing on his own guest to interview, Vlad Tenev of Robinhood, potentially another 5, but one who seems less secure in himself than Elon Musk is. I’ve also seen some fascinating arguments that Einstein may have been a type 9! That is definitely an interesting rabbit hole, and I don’t know what to think there!
Yesssssss! I love those in depth discussions too. Also, as for Einstein part, i think it's easy to Mistype people when examining them because only they can truly tell what their core is like and our deductions are based on what side of them we see. I'm an ambivert and people usually mistype me as a 1w9 but I'm a balanced 5 i know because i really need a good alone time after a vigorous social situation. Also, i learnt how to socialise growing up as a necessity and studied psychology to understand myself and others around me. I think that's the most type 5 thing to ever do. :p
Thanks for this video. I am a 5 but I don't remember my wing but all of this makes sense to me. I am an INFJ as well so I understand everything and so glad my wife understands that.
Loving the channel.. I’ve-very recently gotten into enneagram and I’m a 5w4/6 (INTP-A (Fe/Si ) sexual… Basically all of this!!!! I couldn’t encapsulate me any more succinctly that all these points if I tried.
I hope your son doesn't watch this. He's not going to like that you displayed books, that he's interested in, on the internet. Lol. Maybe you have that kind of relationship with him. He's your son. What do I know
Hahahahaha omg, I for sure know all that famous people 😅 and I am engineer 😎 and at my job, I always use the same clothes on mondays, the same clothes on Tuesdays, etc 😛
Facts are clearly more important than feelings on most important issues one deals with in life. Facts first, feelings second. And that whole "facts don't care about your feelings "?.......yeah.....it's true.
5w4 here (probably sx/so, though the jury's still out on that one) and INTJ. The famous type 5s I resonate most with are Jane Austen and Friedrich Nietzsche, though I don't necessarily agree with everything either of them says. I'm also very much not a fan of Elon Musk. I'm also not a typical 5 because I get bored with math and I've never been interested in computers or programming. I do want to learn why things work and I've always asked "why" way too much and gotten into so much trouble in both school and church growing up. I like to be challenged in my thinking and have my assumptions questioned, especially if they're not logically or factually sound. With small talk, I've always enjoyed making a bit of a game from it. I like trying to see how well I can direct the "small talk" conversation into something that I'm interested in, without the other people catching on. For an easy thing, get people talking about their pets, if they have any. It's honestly much more tolerable than talking about the weather or whatnot and I've found that most people like talking about their pets.
I enjoy trades. I'm a female construction worker and I repair operators and garage doors etc. Lots of manual labor. I also enjoy psychology and philosophy, history, science, productivity and oddly, sports science and physical therapy, health, agriculture etc. I'm very active and also love learning. I enjoy what I do, but also because I can be alone with my podcasts playing while I work I can relate to hating small talk. It's awkward, stressful, boring. But I can talk all day about something deep or interesting
I am trying to create an oil painting that encapsulates the essence of Schrodinger's equation but my energy is low and I feel sad and lost. Need more research and purple and black paint. What am I a 4 or a 5. It doesn't matter the world is full of morons that won't appreciate my individuality and accept me as part of the group. Maybe I'll work on a portrait of Schopenhauer or watch some more videos to try to determine if I am a 4 or a 5. I can't go to work until I know. Can anyone help?😉- LOL (but really)
I don't actually agree that much with the dectective thing (except for social subtypes) cause it involves... people insight. A 6 would be much better as a detective since they combine logic *and* people sense. I personally am a computational biologist which does go into that whole computer or research corner (I know, how stereotypical) but many are also artists or craftspeople/artisans. (Though I guess you already listed Emilie Dickinson as an artistic person)
Spot on with every single topic except one, and it may surprise you. I like small talk, but hear me out. I use it as a tool to spark a conversation and see if the person is capable or willing to dive deeper. For example: Me: nice weather They: yes, it's supposed to be warm all weekend. Me: yes, unusual this time of year They: yeah, climate change I guess Me: or it could be the weakening electomagnetosphere The next response is key because it determines weather (pun intended) I seek a new victim or reel them in 😂 If the answer is simplistic or detached, it's over. If the answer is inquisitive or intelligent, it's on. So, realistic I actually do hate small talk, but as a tool to weed out the simpletons, I love it! Was that last statement sarcastic or cynical? 😉
I think I’m a type 5 (maybe) except that I SUCK at math 😂. I think I’m a 5w4 (possibly), I like to deep dive into information and if I get stuck on a subject I’ll stay on it for a long time.
I’m 5W4 I guess the 4 is pretty high. I relate to everything when it comes to how we act but my taste are totally different and I put a lot of effort into clothes since I’m really interested in it. I’m also obsessed with psychology, true crime and understanding the human function. I’m confused, am I a 4W5?
My father is a researcher and always immersed and in love w science and our culture’s history, all these signs represent his behaviour at home So ironic that your son is born on the day of love❤️
Ok , i just recently found out about this enneagram stuff, so i took an online test. It indicated i was a 5, with a big ol wedge for 9. I have been a software developer for over 30 years, i do like science, tech, superheroes, etc. One thing is, it is not that your friends come to you with problems, as you may not have any friends. Your coworkers certainly will. I think a 5 can be a loner type, although he is smart enough to be sociable, it is just not a priority to be a socialte. And i do not think anyone can imagine what goes on in his head. He is often told he does not make sense, he has no depth, he is not known, etc. The world does not understand him, and can be cruel to him, except, of course, when it needs him. And the resourceful innovator thT he is, he will usually come to the rescue.
I highly doubt Elon musk is a 5. I can’t imagine a 5 leader forcing people to come back to the office. He is too controlling in my opinion and 5s are much more hands off.
I often deliberate between deciding if I'm a 6 or a 5, and this video definitely helped me realize I'm probz a 6 with a strong 5 wing. Signs 4-10 are SO real for me, but my engagement with the world is slightly more dictated by a need for certainty than understanding how things work. Often times, I'll panic about what or how I should spend my time researching instead of following the distinct answers I want, which feels so 6w5 to me lol (Or I'm just a perfectionist). I'm very much a devil's advocate, but I often prioritize allowing the other person to save face or saving face myself before questioning things aloud. Thanks for helping me put those questions to rest!
I'm 100% sure I'm a type 5 but I've never really understood this concept of "energy" when it comes to being around other people or being alone. In classic type 5 fashion it's frustrating to find a concept so impenetrable and I overthink EVERYTHING so I'm sure I'm overthinking energy as well but if anyone with a less chaotic brain can help me unpack it it would be much appreciated!
@desertrosereads Perfect description, thank you very much! I 100% relate to that, I feel like my brain works when I'm alone and it just dies completely thinking of things to say to people XD
So, I just watched the reaction video to this and once again the #10 Sarcasm just cracks me up. I don't know why I relate to this specific one so much, I mean I don't necessarily think of sarcasm and the positive side of 5 but find it hilarious that I go to 5 in growth and I identify with this one thing especially about not saying it but certainly thinking it.
In regards to sign 6, I spent so much time learning about how cell phones, the internet, and data storage works just because I use it a lot and wanted to know, literally for no other reason.

8 here as well and I'm pretty sure I've said this XD
@@caroline26601 and the irony when I say it is that I am usually pretty angry by the time it comes out of my mouth.
@@francesca.pellegrino Yup. My 9w keeps me from saying it for a while and then I get really angry and the filter comes off
the thing about people coming before using google is totally true haha I keep thinking "gosh they could solve this in 5 minutes without my help"
Hahahaha!
Some great information in this video. I self identify as a type five, and this rang bells for me.
And I wanted to add that depth of focus and perception a 5 brings doesn't just apply to scientific disciplines - a technical, problem solving mindset can be applied just as well to fitness, or gardening or music or whatever. So the intellectual thing is a tendency, habit or behaviour, rather than any specific interest. I'm sure you know this but wanted to add...
Also, I have heard that the personality is very fluid until about 30 or 35.So if we type ourselves or another before then, we have too accept that we may change. Does that ring true for you?
Thanks for the video!
Yes! You are so right that it just doesn't apply to scientific disciplines. Thank you for that insight!
I would say that our type never changes but we might not truly know our type for a while. We may mistype ourselves based on our own self awareness or lack thereof.
Sign 4: wear the same thing everyday
Me* in my bday suit ever since quarantine became the norm * sounds about right !
Type 5 for sure 🗣
😂😂😂
😆🤪
Being INTJ 5w6 (JAVA programmer), I relate to 9 signs (not the last one, may be suits more xNTP)
A precision for the eighth sign : I need to be alone to rest and regain energy (feeling exausted, like being a battery out of energy)
I like what you added! So good and absolutely true!
Hi Hillary! It’s me again!
As a 4w5 I can relate to these as well. Especially the points on loving to learn about how things work, watching history documentaries, being tech support for my family, having tons of books, and wearing the same type of outfit that has that certain aesthetic in different ways. Oh and let’s not forget about being cynical lol.
But I have feelings. Lots of them. Lol.
Hi Christina! You do have a strong 5 wing!
Clothing for a 5 must be comfortable, functional, and easy to pick out. Observations from having a sister, husband, and son who 5s
So true!!! My son wears adidas joggers and tshirts. Every single day.
Same jeans, same t-shirt but in different colors, tennis shoes 5w6
But not all type fives, I'm type five and I love fashion and make up. I have studied and researched it so much it's crazy. I know my body type, hair type, face shape. I know what colors and shapes look best, I know which countries have the best sunscreen and I know which countries give the best Bikini tans. It is because I'm type five I even went this far, Type five is a personality but it doesn't predict your hobbies and interests.
Don’t be ridiculous I don’t have one outfit I have four 🙄
im a five, and i want to be a therapist! fives can talk about problems really well.
Love this!
Yes I’m studying counselling. We have intricate understanding of how things work and when applied with say CBT or humanistic theories we can really work wonders and carve out a path for our clients to being laying their own bricks.
Good luck!
Hahaha I related to all of these! I think the thing with privacy also has to do with how we view knowledge. We see knowledge and information as a powerful tool, and because of that we are very cautious about what personal information we share with others because what we share could potentially leave us vulnerable to others in some way. That sounds very cynical, but it just makes logical sense to me! As for dressing, a lot of the time I do just dress to not be naked and wear a very minimalist uniform of a black tshirt and jeans. However fashion is one of my interests and so I can enjoy spending time putting together outfits and getting dressed up! However I will usually spend a couple hours in one go in my wardrobe making outfits that I can remember so I can just throw them on if I need to later. I think the minimalist attire has more to do with not wanting to put energy into things we don't find interesting. If we're interested in clothes, we can actually get very into it. A good example of this I think would be the character Beth from The Queens Gambit who I also believe is a 5w4. I would say that after chess, her secondary interest is fashion!
Yay! Thank you for sharing. I love hearing from actual 5's points of view. I found myself nodding my head as I was reading your comment. Yep! Couldn't agree more. Amazing insight!
@@enneagramandcoaching 5s are most comfortable sharing anonymously, online haha.
5w4, all 10 of these things were pretty accurate for me. The only thing I'd add is that although I do love learning from tv and movies, I'm also a big fan of fairly mindless anime. Its nice to turn the brain off once in a while, since I feel like I'm constantly trying to unravel how the world works and figuring out all these big questions 24/7. Also, ask your son if he's into playing around with the feature, google trends. I'm in love with that feature haha, i get the feeling other type fives are/would as well
Love this. I will ask him!
The small talk resonated with me- especially in work settings where we have to "go around the circle and say something about yourself."
I am definitely cynical in my mind, but it doesnt always translate into speech well, so I keep it in. I love fixing things and problem solving, though sometimes I feel like people expect me to be some profound deep thinker and I worry they will figure out the truth if I talk too much.
Happy bday to your son!!! And yes, I agree with the whole google thing. It's ridiculous and frustrating that people dont just look into the answers themselves. I think the least they could do is groundwork for figuring stuff out and only ask if they are confused.
Oh, these are so good and true!!!!!
Not me watching this after listening to a podcast called “how stuff works” LOL
😂😂😂
Maybe I am type 5, (i’m new to this) 😄 I like science so much and everything makes me curious. I dont really read that much only the things that picks my interest, but I always see to it that I get a perfect explaination to all my why questions. I wonder always in everything that I see, how it works and I’m so open minded. I’m still confused of my enneagram if I’m 5 or 4 type. I’m kinda good in art, but not to the extent that i express it through my feelings and emotions.
My Mbti personality test is INTJ-T.
Music is not something that 5's take lightly. Strong likes and dislikes. Music does not change feelings or emotion. The music must match the current feeling or emotion.
As a type 5 I hate hearing "I'm sorry", I want to hear what are you going to do to ensure this doesn't happen again. Then I'll accept your apology.
A sexual 5 does lean toward more artistic jobs and writing. And female 5s look different sometimes I would love to see some male vs. female 5 or the counter type 5
If you like about an hour long or more videos about horror stories (most of them being real) and history than I recommend the youtube channel Wendigoon.
Thanks! INFJ, 5w4 here.
Greetings fellow 5w4 INFJ. Pleasure!
@@MatthewEaton Hi there.
Ok as a 5 every single one of these was scarily relatable, especially when you said war documentaries
Haha! Yes!
OMG I ENVY THOSE BOOKS - INTP 5w6 so/sp
❤️❤️❤️
I got 9 out of 10 and can totally can relate, I scored typed 5 on the enneagram several times. I can do small talk as an INFJ and as I am friendly to be kind. But yes, I relate to all the others. In small talk I often I can get sarcastic and they shut up! I get awkward and they walk away. Nothing serious. I just can’t stand fake people. 😂
LOL
I’m a 5w4 so I like to stand out with my clothes, but usually similar styles :)
Makes sense! ❤️
When you said "Observing your emotions instead of experiencing them" I had an epiphany! I'm a social 5w4 and an epiphany or really any sudden realization moment is what I live for so thank you for that 😅
"Facts over feelings!"
Yes, thinking does come first!
I do observe my emotions instead of experiencing them. Spot on!
I really like your work-and I’m a 5. However, I have a few issues with this one. None of your examples included a woman. This makes it harder to relate. I can extrapolate, but the books, wardrobe and everything else was only about your 18 yo son. TY for reading this.
You are right. I’m sorry. I realized this too late after I had posted the video. Next time it’ll be balanced. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Damn! I do wear the same thing every day. 😕
I’m definitely a type 5w4 but I swing to 5w6, even as far as 7 and I scored really high as a type 1 as well. I honestly think I’ve spent so much time learning many things over the years, that I’ve picked up traits from other types.
How did I type as 5 lmao this isn’t me at all…
5w6, data analyst
Woot! Woot!
Exact description of my friend😂
Charles Darwin. Isaac Newton
My first thought was “did you ask permission before getting those books out of his space?” Related to all of the signs. INFJ 5w6
😅😂 I did! He begrudgingly let me.
Your son might be an INTJ.
I think he is!
Ha! Related to all of them 😂 I even looked down at what I was wearing and realized yeah, same thing different day lol
Also being a detective would be AMAZING. I love true crime, forensics, and psychology.
And does anyone remember Lizzie McGuire? I relate to that sarcastic inner voice hardcore lol although you’d probably never tell from the outside.
Hahahaha! Love it!
I have Peter Thiel’s Zero to One and also some books about Java! This helps me confirm that I am a 5 indeed haha!
Haha! Love it!
I'm a type 5 with balanced wings and work as an engineer. So much resonated with me. Most of my books, of which I have many, are non-fiction ranging from languages to DIY to Christianity to psychology and I definitely wear pretty much the same stuff every day. Thanks for the video
I just found out i am actually a type 5 ... and i am going back to university for computer science. . . . . . . LOL
😂
Yeah but using google is logically the quickest way to solving the problem or finding the answer
Truth! LOL
My five husband says all the time why are you asking me, I am going to go ask Google first. Haha.
😅
You conclusion to the video just made me go “what if I’m not a 5 I just relate” *sigh* more research 😂
😅
Forgot to say, yes--I'm forever teaching others how to Google effectively 😂
😂
Bill Gates I love you !!
I took one of those tests, and my results were a type 5. My Meyers Briggs results were INFP. Even though I prefer facts over feelings, I feel as if I'm in touch with my emotions, but don't really know how to express them. When I was younger, I experienced emotions a lot stronger, but you can only get hurt so many times to where you learn to shut them off when bad things happen. I don't know if that makes any sense. I guess the point I'm trying to make is even though I'm emotionally available, I feel as if by others knowing I'm a type 5, people will believe I'm not emotionally available.
INFPs feel intense emotions but they are introverted so they also are not good at expressing them because have Fi. As a 5w4 intp I feel intense emotions at times too but I can logically explain my emotions once I actually figure out what I’m feeling( this can take days, weeks, years) because of my Ti and I don’t take it personally if people don’t agree with my emotions
I love 5s. Maybe it’s because I spent so much of my life living as one, but dang, a discussion with a 5 just is invigorating, inspires me to go do things.
This week, I listened to Elon Musk on clubhouse, and he goes on a little bit about his life growing up, and it felt like a glimpse into the making of a 5. Then he went on to hijack the interview by bringing on his own guest to interview, Vlad Tenev of Robinhood, potentially another 5, but one who seems less secure in himself than Elon Musk is.
I’ve also seen some fascinating arguments that Einstein may have been a type 9! That is definitely an interesting rabbit hole, and I don’t know what to think there!
So interesting that Einstein could have been a 9! I can see this. And I agree I love 5s too!
Yesssssss! I love those in depth discussions too. Also, as for Einstein part, i think it's easy to Mistype people when examining them because only they can truly tell what their core is like and our deductions are based on what side of them we see. I'm an ambivert and people usually mistype me as a 1w9 but I'm a balanced 5 i know because i really need a good alone time after a vigorous social situation. Also, i learnt how to socialise growing up as a necessity and studied psychology to understand myself and others around me. I think that's the most type 5 thing to ever do. :p
Thanks for this video. I am a 5 but I don't remember my wing but all of this makes sense to me. I am an INFJ as well so I understand everything and so glad my wife understands that.
So awesome that you have a wife that understands you. So important for type 5s.
Im a 5w6 and everyone of these apply to me and i even want to be a detective.
Wow!!! So awesome!
Well...... Sherlock Holmes is a 5w4 so YUP :)
😀
Type 5: Screw people, my best friend is Google
😂😂😂
5/10, im a 4w5
Definitely detective! The ability to notice subtle cues (like non-verbal body language) help me in my work as a personal trainer and life coach.
Truth over feelings
Every 5 said 🙌😂
Loving the channel..
I’ve-very recently gotten into enneagram and I’m a 5w4/6 (INTP-A (Fe/Si ) sexual…
Basically all of this!!!! I couldn’t encapsulate me any more succinctly that all these points if I tried.
Yay!!!!
I hope your son doesn't watch this. He's not going to like that you displayed books, that he's interested in, on the internet. Lol. Maybe you have that kind of relationship with him. He's your son. What do I know
LOL! You are so right! I'd be willing to bet he's never watched my channel 😂
I thought this too, but I thought that was just my being an 8, so it’s interesting to see this said by someone else.
I’m an INTP and it seems like I’m type 5 yet I avoid conflict like the plague as a type 9s do.
that might be your Fe-inferior
Hahahahaha omg, I for sure know all that famous people 😅 and I am engineer 😎 and at my job, I always use the same clothes on mondays, the same clothes on Tuesdays, etc 😛
😂😂😂
Have you heard of Nikolas Tesla?
Yes!
My therapist said I was probably a 9 but the test I took said I was a 5... I don't relate to 5 at my core. I feel like I'm an 8 🤔🤦🏻♂️
The clothing thing sounds like a 9 too
True 😅
Facts are clearly more important than feelings on most important issues one deals with in life.
Facts first, feelings second.
And that whole "facts don't care about your feelings "?.......yeah.....it's true.
LOL! Love this. So true for the type 5!
@@enneagramandcoaching But also objectively true. 😉
Haha! True!
5w4 here (probably sx/so, though the jury's still out on that one) and INTJ. The famous type 5s I resonate most with are Jane Austen and Friedrich Nietzsche, though I don't necessarily agree with everything either of them says. I'm also very much not a fan of Elon Musk.
I'm also not a typical 5 because I get bored with math and I've never been interested in computers or programming. I do want to learn why things work and I've always asked "why" way too much and gotten into so much trouble in both school and church growing up. I like to be challenged in my thinking and have my assumptions questioned, especially if they're not logically or factually sound.
With small talk, I've always enjoyed making a bit of a game from it. I like trying to see how well I can direct the "small talk" conversation into something that I'm interested in, without the other people catching on. For an easy thing, get people talking about their pets, if they have any. It's honestly much more tolerable than talking about the weather or whatnot and I've found that most people like talking about their pets.
I enjoy trades. I'm a female construction worker and I repair operators and garage doors etc. Lots of manual labor. I also enjoy psychology and philosophy, history, science, productivity and oddly, sports science and physical therapy, health, agriculture etc. I'm very active and also love learning. I enjoy what I do, but also because I can be alone with my podcasts playing while I work
I can relate to hating small talk. It's awkward, stressful, boring. But I can talk all day about something deep or interesting
TY,
🥰
Namaste
🕊️ Peace 🤸 Shalom🐵
❤️❤️❤️
I am trying to create an oil painting that encapsulates the essence of Schrodinger's equation but my energy is low and I feel sad and lost. Need more research and purple and black paint. What am I a 4 or a 5. It doesn't matter the world is full of morons that won't appreciate my individuality and accept me as part of the group. Maybe I'll work on a portrait of Schopenhauer or watch some more videos to try to determine if I am a 4 or a 5. I can't go to work until I know. Can anyone help?😉- LOL (but really)
I don't actually agree that much with the dectective thing (except for social subtypes) cause it involves... people insight. A 6 would be much better as a detective since they combine logic *and* people sense.
I personally am a computational biologist which does go into that whole computer or research corner (I know, how stereotypical) but many are also artists or craftspeople/artisans. (Though I guess you already listed Emilie Dickinson as an artistic person)
Spot on with every single topic except one, and it may surprise you.
I like small talk, but hear me out. I use it as a tool to spark a conversation and see if the person is capable or willing to dive deeper.
For example:
Me: nice weather
They: yes, it's supposed to be warm all weekend.
Me: yes, unusual this time of year
They: yeah, climate change I guess
Me: or it could be the weakening electomagnetosphere
The next response is key because it determines weather (pun intended) I seek a new victim or reel them in 😂 If the answer is simplistic or detached, it's over. If the answer is inquisitive or intelligent, it's on.
So, realistic I actually do hate small talk, but as a tool to weed out the simpletons, I love it! Was that last statement sarcastic or cynical? 😉
I think I’m a type 5 (maybe) except that I SUCK at math 😂. I think I’m a 5w4 (possibly), I like to deep dive into information and if I get stuck on a subject I’ll stay on it for a long time.
Resonate with this all! You left out Stephen king, Stephen hawking, Jane Goodall, Tim Burton, Dali, Elkhart Tolle etc
I’m 5W4 I guess the 4 is pretty high. I relate to everything when it comes to how we act but my taste are totally different and I put a lot of effort into clothes since I’m really interested in it. I’m also obsessed with psychology, true crime and understanding the human function. I’m confused, am I a 4W5?
I love your videos! I am a 5w4 and when I was a teenager I used to want to be a homicide detective.
No way!! That's so cool!
My father is a researcher and always immersed and in love w science and our culture’s history, all these signs represent his behaviour at home
So ironic that your son is born on the day of love❤️
Ok , i just recently found out about this enneagram stuff, so i took an online test. It indicated i was a 5, with a big ol wedge for 9. I have been a software developer for over 30 years, i do like science, tech, superheroes, etc.
One thing is, it is not that your friends come to you with problems, as you may not have any friends. Your coworkers certainly will. I think a 5 can be a loner type, although he is smart enough to be sociable, it is just not a priority to be a socialte.
And i do not think anyone can imagine what goes on in his head. He is often told he does not make sense, he has no depth, he is not known, etc. The world does not understand him, and can be cruel to him, except, of course, when it needs him. And the resourceful innovator thT he is, he will usually come to the rescue.
I highly doubt Elon musk is a 5. I can’t imagine a 5 leader forcing people to come back to the office. He is too controlling in my opinion and 5s are much more hands off.
I'm not in any doubt: when I was typed as a 5w4 I cried because of the painful accuracy. I also cried because because I was _horrified_
I often deliberate between deciding if I'm a 6 or a 5, and this video definitely helped me realize I'm probz a 6 with a strong 5 wing. Signs 4-10 are SO real for me, but my engagement with the world is slightly more dictated by a need for certainty than understanding how things work. Often times, I'll panic about what or how I should spend my time researching instead of following the distinct answers I want, which feels so 6w5 to me lol (Or I'm just a perfectionist). I'm very much a devil's advocate, but I often prioritize allowing the other person to save face or saving face myself before questioning things aloud. Thanks for helping me put those questions to rest!
So good! Sounds like you are spot on with you type!
Isaac Newton. Stephen Hawking. Charles Darwin. Carl Jung.
Yes to almost all of this. It’s hard being a 5 plus having ADHD!
I'm 100% sure I'm a type 5 but I've never really understood this concept of "energy" when it comes to being around other people or being alone. In classic type 5 fashion it's frustrating to find a concept so impenetrable and I overthink EVERYTHING so I'm sure I'm overthinking energy as well but if anyone with a less chaotic brain can help me unpack it it would be much appreciated!
And yes I DID google it XD It did help a bit but I'm still unsure.
I’d be interested to know what other type 5s have to say about this too!
@desertrosereads Perfect description, thank you very much! I 100% relate to that, I feel like my brain works when I'm alone and it just dies completely thinking of things to say to people XD
I am a 5w4 and I am so distracted and annoyed by all the hand gesturing and the “unsure” tone of your voice I had to skip your video all together smh
When she said she didn’t care about learning how to world works, I was so surprised. It never occurred to me that other types don’t have that desire
So, I just watched the reaction video to this and once again the #10 Sarcasm just cracks me up. I don't know why I relate to this specific one so much, I mean I don't necessarily think of sarcasm and the positive side of 5 but find it hilarious that I go to 5 in growth and I identify with this one thing especially about not saying it but certainly thinking it.
LOL!!!! Love that you watched Jeremys reaction video!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭i am a 5w4 and the way every sign is relateable it makes me wanna cry
This is amazingly accurate
👏👏👏
I think the comedian, George Carlin, is quite 5ish in his thinking. Or at least his thought processes and comedy appeal to me as a 5.
In regards to sign 6, I spent so much time learning about how cell phones, the internet, and data storage works just because I use it a lot and wanted to know, literally for no other reason.
That's awesome!
Do not like any of those books. So confused if I’m a type 4 or 5. Did a quiz got 5 and does not make sense
INFJ 5w4s ASSEMBLE REEEEEE
