What does an ENFJ Type 5w4 sp/so/sx look like?
The typical 5 description sounds a bit off and there's very little material on 5w4 cases. And what kind of person are you taking those sp/so/sx into consideration?
I'm new to this as I've spent most of my time looking at the MBTI instrument.
Beware, I suck at wording myself at the moment, so excuse me if I sound kinda vague and even disoriented right now.
But seriously, I need to know this as the MBTI only provides a general understanding. I want to get the whole picture.
Before getting that specific, can I ask how you decided you're a 5? If you don't want to discuss that, that's okay. All types come in lots of flavours.
I don't know enough about MBTI to answer that part, but you can read about the different stackings and intincts in these threads:

According to the information from that first link an sp/so 5:
Self-pres/Social
In the average health range, this instinctual stacking is warm, friendly, and loyal. They need their down time and have no problem spending time alone. They actually value it very much. They feel an energy drain from people’s demands on them. This instinctual stacking is what is described in most Enneagram books. The most notable and potentially frustrating thing about people of this type is the difficulty involved in getting really close to them. While they can usually handle themselves socially, they always hold back when it comes to intensity or intimacy in a relationship which can frustrate a sexual variant type. Others are aware that there is more going on beneath the surface, but it can’t really be accessed. These Fives are masters at minimizing their needs. Even though they shy away from intense personal relationships they often have a lot of intuition about others. Their detached level of personal involvement somehow brings objectivity to their insights. They can be the most practical of the instinctual stackings.
Their issues usually revolve around demands made on their time. This can become problematic in personal relationships. This subtype has an ideal vision of what a close or romantic relationship should be, but given their concerns for protecting their space and time and lacking the instinctual drive of a strong sexual instinct, energy just doesn’t flow in that direction. Because this subtype is good at minimizing their needs they can get along fine with few relationships or without a romantic partner. With the social instinct second in the stacking, they generally do find friends or colleagues and they may even be married, but the need to maintain their own time to pursue their interests is always a point of contention.
These are the wing threads:

I agree there's less information about 5w4's on the web. I always suggest people get a hold of some books and work through those descriptions to type themselves. They're more encompassing and usually make less generalizations about people and go into further detail about typical trouble spots, habits, and traps as well as some advice on how to break out of a types negative patterns.
Although 5's can look a lot of different ways, I've personally found that legitimate 5's still always feel they relate to the descriptions as a whole. While your wing and your stacking can influence, there's still an innate 5ness at the core.
