MBTI - ENNEAGRAM PORTRAITS: HEAD CENTRE TYPE 5
5w4: Thinkers with a profound sense of aesthetics. Fives fear being put on the spot. They would always prefer to have all the information in hand, before acting. They believe that their resources are finite, and are therefore afraid of being overwhelmed. So they hoard and withhold from the world. Be it information, emotional expression or something else. Avarice is often the keyword associated with Fives. The Four is equally a shut-in, so this produces a very introverted, artistic individual who is a deep and original thinker, capable of melding functionality and design if he is a creator or innovator. There is an emphasis on beauty and/in melancholy because these individuals possess the psychological depth to process painful experiences and shape them into works of art or offer new lines of thought. They love to surround themselves with things of beauty, often sparse in coloring or expression and quite minimalist. They try to combine functionality and aesthetics, when it comes to making decisions. These people view themselves as being separate from the ānormiesā and take pride at it. They despair of the frailty of the human condition, and aspire to transcend. There is a tendency towards cynicism and nihilism in these individuals, which is usually brought about in their artistic creations. This is someone who has more of a focus on identity exploration than being group centric or behaving in a community oriented manner. Ā Preemptively reject others from fear of being rejected because of their belief that their true self wonāt be understood by, or accepted by people. Will not compromise their true self in order to seek acceptance. May hold controversial and elitist views about humanity. 5w4 is the scientist, who is also a poet or artist at heart. A prime example of 5w4 would be Vittoria Vetra, and her father in Angels and Demons. 5w4 seeks symmetrical structure in art, and the beauty of asymmetry in science. 5w4 is the ascetic aesthete.
5w6: These Fives apart from being investigative, cynical and isolationist are also excellent at identifying potential risks and mitigating them. They are very good troubleshooters. There is an emphasis on an analytical and investigative bent of mind, so they are doubly cautious and reserved in their actions. If the 5w4 can be compared to the scientist who is also an aesthete, the 5w6 is the innovator/inventor and thinker who wants to use their knowledge to benefit the community and resolve issues. Their bent of mind is highly technical and precise which makes them well suited for STEM professions, particularly engineering. With such a focus on problem solving, very little attention is paid to emotions and emotional expression, hence the 5w6 gets a bad rap about being cold or emotionless. However, 5w6 can be deeply loyal and oriented towards the welfare of the small groups that they slowly let in, over time or feel at home with. 5w6 while being loyal can be skeptical of other peopleās loyalty and hold them at arms distance, afraid that they will reveal too much of themselves to someone who may prove unworthy of trust, in the future. It may never happen but Sixes are always planning for eventualities that may or may not play out. The way a 5w6 deals with fear is largely by scanning for constant signs of trouble, anticipating it and heading it off with the massive database they have collected. Sherlock Holmes is a great example of a 5w6. He is so focused on troubleshooting, scientific accuracy and precision that he is able to anticipate case complications and crack them with his arsenal of information tucked away in the mind palace.
If they arenāt careful or donāt have someone to drag them out to engage with the external world every now and then, Fives can end up being completely cut off from the world. In case of those with a 4-wing, such unhealthy isolationism can lead to a falsely inflated sense of self. Those with a 6-wing could find themselves growing increasingly suspicious and paranoid about society; unhealthily they could end up finally going off the rails and generate conspiracy theories, lose total faith in all systems and attempt to live off the grid.
Fives and the Perceiving function axis:
NeSi, SiNe: The influence of Five on Ne will expand the individualās curiosity and thirst for information. They will have a broad understanding, based on the very specific and precise data they collect about a multitude of subjects. In lower Ne users, it may exacerbate fears of being taken advantage of or imposed upon/manipulated, so they will cling to what they know to be true and comforting. High Si users will store away information, never feeling confident enough to share it with others. High Ne users may be a bit more inclined towards sharing information with others.
NiSe, SeNi: Ni + 5 will make the individual focus on attaining a depth of knowledge as opposed to breadth of knowledge, as can be seen in high Ne users. These individuals will spend most of their lines in planning and preparing, because of inferior Se they arenāt quick to action. Five doesnāt think of acting till they believe they have all the data necessary to take a call. They will suffer from indecision about interacting with the sensory elements in the real world. Five disintegrating to Seven can cause an eruption of typical impulsive and reckless behaviors characteristic of unhealthy Se users (in this case, a spurt of inferior Se). Five cramps Seās style, and will make them slower to act. One of the ways they will take in and store information will be visual and sensory data they collect from their external environment and then process it. Excellent observers of their physical surroundings. Substance abuse and addictive behaviors possible, when the Five disintegrates to a Seven upon the Five not receiving sufficient mental stimulation.
Fives and the Judging function axis:
FiTe, TeFi: Adds a hint of intense emotionalism to the Five which will nonetheless not express it. The Five will be quick to come down in judgment by isolating themselves from those who have violated their Fi values. It gives a sense of fake Ti, because the Five is intent on understanding the world, because knowledge of the world makes them competent and prepared to handle anything the world may throw at them. The values of these individuals is largely tied to intellectual integrity and whenever they feel anything too strongly, they withdraw because they arenāt used to emotional expression. Five will just enhance the love of privacy even more ( especially in high Fi users). High Te users can be very harsh and blunt when it comes to criticizing people who they believe to be their intellectual inferiors, or on encountering incompetent people. Higher Fi users can wallow in their bleak outlook, how they cope with it maybe dependent on the wing to the core Five.
FeTi, TiFe: These individuals are afraid of imposing upon others, as they think others may view this as an invitation to mutually share confidences. Fives hate being intruded upon. Fives largely disregard their feelings. It is not that they are not aware of them. They choose not to acknowledge them and tend to view it as a crutch. They loathe emotional behavior in general, even though they do understand it. They arenāt good at making emotional decisions. High Fe users of this type may shut off their feelings or choose not to dwell on it when someone hurts them, choosing instead to immerse themselves in some intellectual hobbies/interests which they prefer to enjoy by themselves. In TiFe users, Five amplifies the Ti to a great extent because both have total understanding as their aim and complement one another very well. Ā They could bypass their emotions entirely in favor of intellectual stimulation, satisfaction or tending towards towards intellectualizing their emotions instead because it is less uncomfortable for them. Even high Fe users will prefer logical approach and may get uncomfortable if someone tries to elicit an emotional response from them, regardless of the psychological closeness/distance the Five shares with that individual. Prolonged and repeated exposure to such behavior will make the Five less amenable towards such emotional people, ultimately choosing to withdraw into their own selves.
