Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive Re: Type 5 Top Ten ListPosted by Laurence on October 01, 2000 at 17:07:26: In Reply to: Type 5 Top Ten List posted by voodoodolly on October 01, 2000 at 11:58:36: : Okay, here’s a tentative top 10 list for 5’s (written by a 5, & therefore subject to many, many refinements) :0) : 1. Likely to have a type 2 Mom & type 8 Dad. (Okay, this one’s a survey question in disguise). *** not quite, 3w2 father, 4w5 mother. : 2. Hate answering the phone! Much prefer email conversations which allows the luxury of being able to reword everything before hitting the send button. *** Yes : 3. Probably have some great friends that you somehow lost touch with over time. ***Yes. : 4. Would much rather err on the casual side than the overdressed side when going to events where the dress code is undefined. ***What a burden having to worry about clothing : 5. Get really upset when labeled an “airhead” by others, who are in reality just too intellectually simplistic to understand what the heck you’re talking about in the first place. *** Depends who says it! : 6. Get really manic when onto a good theory or project (forgetting how to sleep, eat & otherwise interact appropriately w/ others in your living space). *** Yes. : 7. Can ramble on for hours about philosophical topics, but find conversations about the complex or traumatic emotional inner life of others to be very, very sleep- inducing. *** Oh yes! : 8. In general, have avoided heated confrontations, but have some memorable experiences where you felt compelled to defend yourself in an aggressive, overbearing style, & experienced a real thrill in scaring & surprising the people around you who had never seen that side of you before (& didn’t think you had it in you). *** Yes; : 9. Probably you are a first born or only child (another survey question in disguise). No, I'm 3rd of 5. : 10. Probably have a very refined sense of humor (none of that slipping on a banana-peel stuff). *** Absolutely!
