High 5’s all around for episode 9 of Enneagram for the Culture. Kimberly Reese and Camille Logan, Black therapists hailing out of the North Carolina, get into the head triad and talk about the intellectually driven 5 personality type. After opening with how the Enneagram showed up for the hosts, we jump into the thinking minds of 5’s (15:13). Following that, Kim gives us a breakdown of their arrow connections; 7 and 8 (20:22) where 5’s can respond more like a 7 when in distressing situations and lean towards the 8 type when they’re trying to progress and grow. At around minute (25:22) we fly into wings 4 and 6 and examine the situations that allow 5’s to fall to either one, as told by Camille. Later we examine how and why 5’s tend to retreat to their minds and leave reality behind when Camille tells a short anecdote about her friend (29:00). Also, like other personality types, 5’s can be mislabeled and misunderstood because people often have misconceptions, which are expertly explained by Kim (36:24). Nearing the end, we learn that being black and being a 5 can lead to having a scarcity mindset and falsely believing that there aren’t enough resources to go around (40:00). We hope that this was a stimulating conversation for our 5 friends and an accurate representation of who they are, or who they can be. Indulge, and thank you for listening!
