Re: All I'm saying is that she does not fit the description of fives described in any book I've read on fives, nor on any fives I've known. So I think she could be mistyped n/t

: Eh, you know her, we don't! Could you provide me with a video, then I may be up to say anything sensible. Right now, as it is, anything I'd say would come straight out of the blues. Perhaps you may start by sharing with us what it is to be a "real" five, what you expect to find in a person labeled nbr5.

: : At work, our team participated in an Ennegram one day workshop. Someone who I work closely with typed herself as a five, and I was flabbergasted. I thought she was a seven, but I now see how that doesn't quite fit either.

: : She is definitely not a feeling type person by any means, and kind of finds 'feeling' type things rather uncomfortable or silly. She is very good at strategic thinking and analysis, but in so many other ways, she doesn't seem like a five.

: : Could some of you fives please explain?

: : She is extroverted, friendly and likes to joke, but not in a 'feeling' kind of way. She seems to know everyone and has no problem talking to anyone anywhere, no matter who they are. She is generally comfortable with herself and confident. She can be quite irritable and impatient with people who 'don't get it' fast enough for her.

: : Some of it sounds like a five, but most of it just doesn't to me. All the other things I associate with being a five, she doesn't seem to be.

: : I don't get it. I just can't buy that she's a five. Am I being too hasty in my judgement (she also scored high on eight, and has some of those traits, but doesn't seem fully like an eight either!
