Search Results for ‘type five’

First the usual, hi I'm an INTJ, type five...bla bla bla... Next, I'm socially inept, even on the internet which is difficult to achieve. I avoid telling people about my interest in politics because they always assume it means I like to debate party policies and not that I enjoy the inner...

Forgive me for starting a new thread as my first post, but I am desperate. I'm 23. I've grown apart from my high school friends. I'm only in contact with one of my university friends, and she lives across the country. I live with my boyfriend. Aside from him and daily emails to my best friend...

Recently, I had to prematurely leave my University studies for the remainder of the semester. A month or so prior, I began to have disturbing nightmares (every single night). These dreams would go long and uninterrupted, uncharacteristic of my typical sleep pattern(s). They were not your...

I suppose the integrating 5 would look healthier, but can anyone provide insight into their characteristics (with examples from life, preferably)?

I am not sure I am interpreting the results correctly. The highest scale is 5, the second is 4 (which is close in elevation to the high 5), and third is six. I have only done the test that gives the primary scale results - haven't done a tri-type test yet. With the results I have I was thinking...

This is not intended as one of those mopey "who will ever love me threads", I am genuinely curious as to what types if any are most attracted to Fives. I arrived at this question during my research on Twos in which I found that they really didn't seem to have a strong opinion of Fives one way or...

Some people see the world as dangerous, and some see it as safe. Some see it as just or unjust. Nevertheless, we all live in the same world. Elements of our personality color our views, and human perception is little more than an inkblot test. One purpose of the Enneagram of Personality is to...

I can't believe that no one has made a thread like this before! Anyway, this thread is self-explanatory, just post things that remind you of your "fiveness". So I'll start. You know you're a type five when you would rather spend a Saturday night reading than going to a party or the mall.

Once we establish our personality styles or paradigms to help us apprehend and navigate around the world, we can either keep them pliant, flexible, accommodating, and up to date; or we can rigidly maintain them, assimilating everything into them, and suffer what Joel Barker (1992) calls...

Author: Jerry Wagner When I was first introduced to the Enneagram, we got only the bad stuff -- the distortions, fixations, compulsions, exaggerations, vices, bad breath, etc. When I, in turn, presented the Enneagram styles this way, people would ask: "Isn’t there anything good about any...

Core Value Tendency: FIVES are attracted to and value wisdom, knowledge, and learning. They want to understand the world and make it a more reasonable place to live in. Having insights, learning about the nature of things, and seeing how everything fits together is what life is all about...

If you are a Four, it’s likely that you: See the world through a wide range of bright and dark, subtle and dramatic emotions. Can easily find yourself in a dark mood because the world is a difficult place and it’s so hard to get what you want out of life. Are able to initiate...

The Harmonic Groups The Harmonic Groups are useful for transformational work because they indicate how each person copes when they do not get what they want (as...

Three Basic Orientations The three orientations are an expression of the Law of Three, on which the entire Enneagram concept is based. This law states that there are three kinds of forces that act in the human nature - the Active force, the Responsive force and the Neutral force and that...

Why is microwaving popcorn considered an art? Why do so many people continue to burn microwave popcorn after the first time they ruined it and created one of the most foul smells? Which personality types are best suited for microwaving popcorn efficiently? Before we that, let's examine why it is...

1. I have the capacity to have deep insights into the world around me, and I almost always perceive things that others miss or ignore. 2. Foresight is one of my great capacities: I seem to be able to predict the way things will turn out before they take place. 3. I have always had the...

The Dominant Affect Groups are important for transformational work because they reveal the unconscious emotional background we bring to all areas of our lives. In technical language, these have to do with 'object-relations' theory. Modern psychological theory has identified three fundamental...

Fives, Sixes and Sevens share a general undercurrent of fear and form another emotional trio. Unlike Twos, Threes and Fours, people within this group are not confused about who they are or how they feel. Instead, they tend to unconsciously anticipate life's dangers and react from an emotional...

The self-preservationist instinct is accentuated by the type Five fixation. The other two instincts are in opposition to the main type. When dominant, the social and sexual instincts therefore set up some degree of conflict with the dominant type Five fixation. Self-pres/Social In the...
