Symbol

The symbol that I think best represents Fives is a book. Fives handle their anxiety by acquiring knowledge. Fives know it all because, well, then they can feel like all is well.


Quick DESCRIPTION

The great thing about Fives is their knowledge. They tend to be quieter and reserved and can easily become experts in specific areas.

The tricky thing about being a Five is that they have a shorter shelf life than most. Their energy can be quickly drained, and so they will ration their time and engagement with others so that they won’t become depleted.

Fives love knowledge. They are the masters of information and data. They don’t mind being the wizard behind the curtain having the knowledge but not wanting the spotlight.

The shadow side of being a Five is that they can easily be overwhelmed by the world. Their batteries run shorter than most, so they will often limit their interactions with others and may even have a “special” place they go to recharge.

Every Enneagram type has things that cause us to celebrate and struggle. If you’d like to figure out how to live the life you were designed for, book a session now.
