in today's video i'm going to go over 10 signs that you might be an enneagram type 5. if you're
new here i'm hillary your certified enneagram life coach and i love to teach the enneagram
in the simplest and easiest way possible but before we dive into this highly requested video
don't forget to push that subscribe button and click the bell so that you get notified every
time a video goes live because i have new videos every single week go out and the reason why i
like to do the type 4 and the type 5 videos back to back sometimes is because that's the one that
most people can get hung up on am i type 4 or am i type 5 because if you're a 4 wing 5 or 5 wing 4
sometimes there are a lot of similarities and so i like to do those back to back so that you guys
can figure out if you're trying to decide am i five or am i for you have both of them at your
fingertips and if you missed last week's video which was 10 signs you might be an enneagram type
4 the romantic individualist i will link that video right here and in the description box down
below so you can go give that a watch so that you guys can really decide am i type 4 am i type 5 um
these 10 signs can help with that okay so before we get started into this video i do want to say
that um if you are trying to decide between a five and any other type look at the course first
before you go ahead and listen to this video of the ten signs because these are going to be more
behavior-based and the cores are what decide if you are indeed a type 5 and so look at the core
fear the core desire the core weakness the core longing it's your why it's what drives you it's
what you make your decisions based on it's what motivates you that's what we look at first and
then we dive into these 10 signs that you might be an enneagram type 5. so let's go ahead and get
started okay so the first sign that you might be an enneagram type five is you can relate to these
famous type fives so not only can you relate to them but you know who they are starting with elon
musk bill gates albert einstein emily dickinson jane austen and peter phil if i said that right
correct me if i'm wrong uh he wrote zero to one i don't know if you've heard of this book but i went
and found this in my type five son's bedroom so you not only know about all those people
but you definitely can relate to them in different ways i would love to know though
who did i leave out who are you like whoa yes those are like you know famous type fives that we
think or at least we think they're type fives but here's a few more leave those in the comments box
below um i'd love to hear your guys thoughts on that moving right along to sign two you love books
and movies and shows based on knowledge and learning i will say as for movies and shows
it's probably not going to be the most popular ones it's going to be ones that you guys have
found and that you guys are like no this is good tv not necessarily what's popular a lot of fives
i know love documentaries uh dark documentaries lots of stuff on war and history and different
things like that and if you love these types of books uh this one is called ignition it's on
i think building rockets this book is on machine learning for dummies um more books
let's see unreal engine for game development this might be one that you would love
how about learning java i'm like um i definitely don't understand anything in that book elon musk
book on him and that one that i showed earlier the from zero to one notes on startups
or how to build the future these are just a few books that i walked into my type five son's
bedroom and got out to see are these the kind of books that you guys like let me know these just
might be a few books that you like if you are an enneagram type five so moving right along to sign
number three jobs that interested type five okay i can feel the lighting kind of going in and out
it's a cloudy day in arizona so i apologize if the lighting is changing a bit okay so what are some
jobs of my interest to type five data scientists computer scientists information business analyst
day trader mathematician and i don't know if a lot of people think this one would be a type fives job
or career that they might be interested in but i think detectives i think five would be really good
at that and they're so good at you know gaining all this knowledge and figuring things out that
i think a detective would be right up there um in a job that a type five might like in the end
i think if you're a type five you're drawn to any jobs that will allow you to problem solve and grow
and learn continuously throughout the job okay so let's move right into sign number four
which is you basically wear the same thing every day maybe it's a different color but basically
it's the same type of wardrobe if you relate to like the mark zuckerberg that wears like
that basic gray tee and jeans every single day or steve jobs that wore that um black mock turtleneck
jeans and sneakers every single day i think for a tight five they don't want to put a lot of time
and effort into figuring out what they want to wear now it doesn't mean they don't dress nice
um my type 5 son he dresses nice but he doesn't want to put a lot of time and effort into it and
so he has a lot of different t-shirts and um pants and you know zip up jackets and different things
like that but they're all in different colors and he basically wears the same thing every single day
i've heard a type 5 just wants to be able to open their closet pull something out and just be done
with it they don't want to put a lot of time and effort into making decisions on what they're going
to wear for the day sign number five that you might be an enneagram type 5 is you prefer facts
over feeling facts data statistics all those types of things are more important to a type 5 than say
feelings thoughts and emotions this has a lot to do with the type 5 being in that head triad and
thinking comes first and i'm not saying that they don't have emotions because they do i've heard
that fives are more likely to observe their own emotions rather than experiencing them or attend
to their own emotions once they're alone so when they are in the moment with somebody i think they
detach from their emotions and when they go off by themselves they can feel those emotions and and
and kind of sort through them but a five might say they prefer the facts and uh statistics and stuff
like that over feelings and emotion sign number six is you are driven to understand how the world
works which actually blows my mind as a type nine i don't even care how it works i never look into
how it works like i don't know how most things work but the five they are driven to understand
how everything works fives need to learn the why behind why things are the way they are fives learn
by observing researching asking a ton of questions testing out truth challenging assumptions they
want to know how when why all of it figuring this stuff out is not only fascinating to them
but it actually gives them their own confidence and security okay so let's move right along to
sign number seven and that is your friends come to you to solve complex problems difficult issues and
things like that they come to you for answers a five a lot of times is able to help others problem
solve you know that's what they do they love doing that fives are so logical and that's what they use
to solve problems so it really can help somebody out if they're like okay i need this problem
solved in the five we'll think about it logically and figure it out but i did ask my son this
question and he said well there is google he goes a lot of times i'm just going to go use google and
he thinks it's funny that others would come to him before using google so if you're five do you think
the same way as him sign number eight you are a really private person fives are private fi fives
need their alone time fives wanna you know detach the world and have their own space and i would say
based on you know just living with a type five fives hate it when people barge into their
private space and i find the reason behind that is because they're usually like so into figuring
something out or learning some kind of knowledge they're doing something and they're just like
heavily saturated in that present moment with what they're doing and if someone like knocks on the
door they're just like ripped out of it or like what do you need at least that's what happens here
and so i think it's really hard for the fives they need that private space and they need that time to
process and to do what they're doing and i think it's really hard for them when people interrupt it
okay so moving on to sign number nine type fives usually hate small talk small talk just feels
awkward to a five and fives do not like feeling awkward and especially if that small talk has
nothing to do with the knowledge that they have or if it just seems you know like it's not something
they would even be interested in talking about it just usually has no importance to them and in
their life and it actually can be painful for them to have to be a part of it so we are at the last
sign sign number 10 of the 10 signs that you might be in enneagram type 5 and this one is you are
sarcastic cynical and even love to play devil's advocate and based on the knowledge that i have
of the five is they don't always even say stuff like that like they're not uh as cynical nurse
and sarcastic and stuff like that out loud but in their head it's a whole different world and i can
only imagine what is going on in the type five's head um and then the playing devil's advocate
i think they like debating they like going what if they like saying well have you looked at this
you know and they like um that role and they like causing people to have to think out of the box and
to have to think at all and honestly i always wonder like what's really going on in my
type five son's head i think it's a whole different world in there than what he even is
telling me sometimes but and here's a funny side note he is turning 18 on valentine's day his whole
life i've always thought it's so funny that he was born on the day of love like yes i love that so
anyways that's it guys that's all i have those were the 10 signs that you might be
a enneagram type 5 now just to be clear if you related to all 10 signs of being a type 5 that
doesn't automatically mean that you are type 5 because like i said at the beginning of the video
