Thanks for your insightful comments. I do not have a big problem with wanting to know all of the boxes - I do not believe that anyone has the right to know all about a person unless of course that particular box has an impact on me (eg risk of AIDS etc). However, what I need to be able to do is to recognize the person in the boxes that are presented to me. I am referring particularly to emotions here that don't carry over in actions or words. I found it difficult to reconcile the two boxes as being from the same person (and I'm not referring to naieve one night stands where words are said but not meant the next day). Having said this, I have great Type 5 friends where I accept the boxes (although I never feel as close to them as I do my other friends). However, in an intimate relationship, I need more than this. Thanks for the tips as I do like Type 5's and have the most interesting conversations with them.
