:............the 5's DO want to dominate and intimidate others into agreement. The difference is that a 5 does this out of a fear that they will be shown to be much less knowledgable and competent in their field than they feel they are.

If a 5 has a strong connection to 8 in the average levels or below (a point that is an aside to pure Riso theory) then they would have a desire to dominate for the sake of dominating, and intimidate as a power play , though not to the degree or intensity of an 8. I've witnessed and experienced this in real life. Also, as stated by Riso in UTE, each of us have characteristics of ALL the types within us that express themselves, especially in certain situations.
