The type 5 personality type are those who embrace being an introvert. These are the individuals who will go out of their way to preserve their internally invested energy. They are often times loners. They replenish their energy by maintaining some distance from others. These individuals are idealistic and they live in their heads. They have a way of separating themselves from their emotional experiences.

The type five personality types are intellectual and seek for stimulating conversations with those of the same mindset. The social type 5 seeks meaningful social interactions in search for knowledge. They view knowledge as something that gives their life experiences meaning and fulfillment. The dreamer of this personality type idealize their love interest as something of a romantic quality. They invest their time dreaming and therefore set higher standards or limitations on others in which they may not live up to the romanticized relationship. Those who are focused on self preservation, are more secluded and live more in their heads.

Those who have this type 5 personality places value on boundaries. They will put boundaires on everything. Sometimes a little too much to where their idealisim becomes unattainable for others. In turn they also respect others and their boundaires.

One of the hindering thought beliefs of this personality type, is that they only have an ‘x’ amount of energy to last throughout the day. They view interacting with others as means of depleating their energy levels. This thought process is limiting and imposses a restriction on human connection. This is one of their blind spots. In truth, they can have their energies replenished with the right people in their lives.

The 5 personality avoids those who are emotional. As I meantioned earlier, they separate themselves from their own emotions. They separate feeling and seek to retreat into their minds.

In order to gain a sense of balance, they need to observe their behaviors and want to change their isolation. Taking chances and feeling their ‘own emotions’ can give their lives more meaning and potential fulfillment that they cannot achieve in seclusion from others. We all want to belong. We all want to feel important. We all want to feel loved.
