I'm a Sx 5 with a very strong 4 wing. This combination makes for an extremely vivid inner life

[@rickmoede]

Bea, after seeing a number of lousy KZbin videos on Fives, I find yours delightful for two reasons: 1) You speak in terms of tendencies, not absolutes, and 2) There's some inherent nuance in going into subtypes. I do prefer going into stackings when possible, though. As a SX/SO Five, I've never met a more outgoing Five, and I doubt I ever will. I also don't imagine I look particularly Fivish, and I know, in the few opportunities I've given people to guess my type, nobody has ever guessed it correctly. This includes two or more professional Enneagram teachers. That stacking tends to shatter Fivish stereotypes.

These videos helped me discover I am a sexual 5. I thought I was a 5w4. But sexual type describes me very well.

[@kenzielove99]

me too

[@_linlin_]

You can be 5w4 and sexual subtype

[@12NiBer12]

5w4 doesn't cancel out being a sexual 5 because it's a different metric. One is enneagram with a wing, another is instinctual variant. tl;dr - you are 5w4 sx/** type. You have yet to mentioned your other variant type, so or sp.

How do you guys know what type you are I've got no idea even with all the reading lol

[@12NiBer12]

[@therealcoolc]

Honestly, all three subtypes resonate with me, but also none of them fits perfectly. I care about security/ boundaries, social connection and I have a soft side. My 4 and 6 wings were perfectly balanced the last time I took the test.

SX/SP 5 here. Excellent job teaching about 5s, Bea.

[@ChestnutPaesEnneagramAcademy]

Thank you for the compliment! That means a lot coming from a Typer Five.

[@stu6097]

If 5s are the most introverted of the 9 types and SP 5s are the most 5 of 5s, does that mean the SP 5s are the most introverted of all 27 type/subtype?

[@bonnieclayton2311]

Good question.

[@Beretboytoy]

Yup! No one does introversion like a sp 5

[@antoniofdez]

Yes

[@sebastianwingfield5637]

Yes :)

[@waryaking]

4s is most introverted

[@D0J0P]

I feel like SP5's have the least advantages. Being an SO5 means your intellectualism is most useful and put to serving the world, and you have better networking opportunities, while an SP5 just has little willpower, is the least confrontational and wants to just hide away from society.

[@tokekw]

Cool, are the interviews somewhere else than on youtube?

[@emilyannesnipes4561]

I also am interested in seeing the interviews if anyone knows where they are.

[@jeanie4703]

I’m not sure about interviews but Beatrice Chestnut’s book has lengthy descriptions of each subtype

[@jaredvaughan1665]

A lot of us 5s, like Elon Musk who lives in a $50 000 house, don't even want to own a home.
