I do agree with the above. Yes, 5s are specialists of "something". AND, anyone indeed goes through blanks when the level of stress gets too high. In fact, blanks are for me the signal that there is too much stress, for I can cut off my feelings so efficiently that my subconscious needs send me little warnings....

: In my opinion you seem far too emotional to be a five.

: Fives do come in all levels of IQ. A love of study and a deep interest in narrow subject matter are more the criteria than intellectual success. A five could have a deep interest in baseball cards but know absolutely nothing about physics. Fives are specialists.

: Everyone suffers from mental blocks from time to time. Diet, sleeping patterns, exercise, hormones, or other physical issues could be part of the problem. You should probably share your concern with your doctor since your medication may have something to do with it.
