    Type 5 is known as the Thinker in the Enneagram system. Key characteristics include a strong need for privacy, detachment from emotions, fear of feeling overwhelmed, and a preference for maintaining control and predictability through special knowledge and analytic systems. There is a tendency to observe life from an outside perspective and compartmentalize different commitments. While this detached stance can protect against pain, it can also lead to isolation from one's own feelings and experiences if not balanced with self-awareness and connection to others.

    Palmer - The Enneagram


    Point Five: The Observer The preoccupations of Point Five include: Privacy. Maintaining noninvolvement; withdraw and tighten the belt as a first line of defense. Fear point. Afraid to feel. Overvaluing of self-control. Detaching attention from feelings. "Drama is for lesser beings." Delayed emotions. Feelings withheld while others are present. Emotion comes later, when safely alone. Compartmentalizing. Commitments in life are kept separate from one another. One box per commitment. Time Limit for each box. Wanting predictability. Wanting to know what will happen ahead of time. An interest in special knowledge and analytic systems that can explain the way that people work. Want a map to explain emotions. Psychoanalysis. The Enneagram. A confusion between spiritual nonattachment and a premature emotional shutdown to keep out pain. The unenlightened Buddha. An attentional style of focusing on life and oneself from the point of view of an outside observer, which can lead to Isolation from the feelings and events of one's own life. The ability to maintain a point of view that is detached from emotional bias.
