hey guys it's Hillary you're certified Enneagram coach welcome back to my channel Enneagram and
coaching today we are going to go over the wings of the type 5 the investigator alright so before
we dive into the type 5 swings let's learn a little bit about what a type 5 is first things
first why are they called the investigator because more than any other type they want to find out the
why behind things they're always searching and asking questions and literally figuring
out things and so much more depth than the other types would they they really really want to know
the why behind everything and I can honestly say I know this to be true I have a type 5 first son
and his entire life he's taken things apart and trying to put it back together and figure out why
do they operate the way they do anyways that's how they get their names the investigator alright so
moving on what are the core fears the core desires and the core longings of type 5 well the core fear
is they don't want to be helpless they don't want to be incapable they don't want to be useless
those are some of their core fears and their core desire is to be capable and competent and their
core longing is what they really longed to hear is that their needs are not a problem and so that's
what they longed to hear because I think a lot of times they feel like they're asking too many
questions they're researching trying to figure out the why and maybe they feel like it could bother
other people and you know they need that they need to be able to do that and so they really
want to know that their needs of what they need in life is not going to be a problem for those around
them ok so in this type I kind of want to cover some misconceptions that you can have about the
type 5 because a lot of people think that all type fives are introverts and that is definitely not
the case because we have subtypes and what that means is there's a their instincts of each type
I know I have not covered this in any of my videos yet this is coming but I really wanted to cover it
just very very very briefly for the type 5 so that they don't get pigeonholed and being introverted
okay so starting with the first subtype it that would be self-preservation and they're the ones
that they actually feel like they're home or they need their home to be their castle they need to
be able to be isolated within their safe place they are the most introverted out of the three
subtypes and so that self-preservation they are really concerned about their security and their
surroundings and making sure they have a safe space okay and so moving over to the social
what that means in the type v is actually the social flex they are the most extroverted out
of the three subtypes and so that means they they really they search for knowledge because
they believe knowledge is power and they actually are the ones that are more willing to share their
knowledge their ideals their values they will share those more than the other two subtypes
okay and the last one is called the sexual subtype or instinct also can be known as the one-to-one
and this one is more romantic and sensitive and they can actually resemble a type for at times
and so those are the subtypes within the type v and that's why we can have so many fives in
this world and they can look completely different because not only do you have the v which is you
know your dominant type you have the wings which are always the numbers beside yours you also have
your arrows which you can go towards a seven or an eight and then you also have your subtypes your
social your self-preservation your sexual and so this kind of explains why fives and all the types
because all the types have all of that can look so different at times because there's just a lot
more depth to each dominant type right there's just so many so many more factors than just your
your plain type all right so let's move on to the wings of the type five so like I said your
dominant number is a type five and your wings are always the numbers beside your dominant number so
for the five it would be the four and the six alright so the type five with the four wing
they're called the iconoclast and what this means is they're more emotional more introspective more
creative than the five wing six they you know they kind of pulled up from the four they could be more
withdrawn and isolated and more independent than the five wing six they do not like having things
imposed on them and when struggling the five wing for they can detach from people by using their own
knowledge and observation and insights to create distance from people and so that is when they're
struggling they're gonna totally withdraw and detach from people easier than the five linx six
and they're inspiring quality is they are amazing at pulling things apart and conceptualizing new
ways to look at it from different and creative viewpoints and so that's that inspiring quality
of that type five with the floor wing so let's move on to the type by with a six wing the problem
solver so they use their skills of observation and you know organization and detail to figure
things out they are cooperative persistent disciplined and very interested in practical
matters they are intellectual they love analyzing and problem solving which is where they get their
title the problem solver and when struggling the five with the six wing they could start to just
live in their minds and stop actually using their emotions in their personal relationships and this
can be very difficult and challenging for them and their inspiring quality is if they're so
good at dissecting problems and analyzing things and finding a solution through lots of research
and using their minds and so when struggling they can get trapped in their minds but their
inspiring quality is they can actually use their minds to figure things out into problem-solve
and so they just have to be aware you know why they're using their mind really you know what
that looks like and the why behind it which for them they always want to know the why alright
guys so those are the wings of the type five the investigator so again the five four and the five
six so I hope this video helped you and if your type five this enlightened you and cost you to go
oh that's why I do this or why I did that and also helped you figure out which way you lean
most towards and they say about the wings that's usually early on in your life you used one a lot
and then as you get older you can tend to go to the other wing your you can be balanced in both
of them you can only use one some people even say I don't use either and so it really depends
on your self-awareness and what that looks like and how could it help me how can we help us with
self-awareness and growth that's the reason why I teach about it because I do believe knowing your
wing is a big piece of knowing why you are the way you are and and how to grow and become the
best you know you that you can be alright guys that's all I got today don't forget to subscribe
