The 9 types
SPOT ON TYPE 5
T Y P E 5
The wise person
As a Type 5, you are a private, observant, and knowledgeable person. You are rational and approach situations objectively. You feel most comfortable in your intellect and trust your mind, because "after all, that's where reason and logic reside."
You seek, collect, and immerse yourself in knowledge, and you can never get enough. You enjoy diving deep into specific topics, wanting to know everything within those areas. Others perceive you as someone who knows a lot.
As a private individual, you don't enjoy being the center of attention. Emotions are also not something you like to express, especially not publicly.
You enjoy having a mental overview, so you prefer to sit on the outskirts of a group, where you can observe everything from a bit of a distance. You can be alone – for long periods! And you don’t need much company as long as you have access to knowledge or your passion, like music, fishing, or cycling.
You are very cautious about not overusing your inner energy reserves. If you assess that something will take too much energy, you simply won’t do it.
Could this be you? Or perhaps you know a Type 5?
