: : I am a 5w6 with a 2w3 mother. I have always compared myself and felt

: : any of the other types?

: : Thanks for any insights.

: Every person, and every type gives something to other people though you may not even be conscious of it. Fives do give things that 2w3's are frequently unable to - quite comfort, an honest, steadfast opinion and fortitude.

Thank you, Dave and Perceiver. I REALLY appreciate your input to my
question. Your responses really rang true with me and help me to see
the value in my type of giving--honesty, quiet comfort, good listener.etc.

I really love this enneagram site. Have been searching for a long time
for a way to communicate with others on the enneagram. Little did I know
that buying a computer would do that.
