"I need to understand the world"
Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.
How to Get Along with Me
- Be independent, not clingy.
- Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
- I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
- Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
- Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
- If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
- don't come on like a bulldozer.
- Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.
What I Like About Being a Five
- standing back and viewing life objectively
- coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
- my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
- not being caught up in material possessions and status
- being calm in a crisis
What's Hard About Being a Five
- being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
- feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
- being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
- watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally
Fives as Children Often
- spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
- have a few special friends rather than many
- are very bright and curious and do well in school
- have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
- watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
- assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
- are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
- feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected
Fives as Parents
- are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
- are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
- may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
- may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

How to Get Along with Me
Be independent, not clingy. Aye; seeing people who are joined at the hip always makes me wonder about their sanity... but perhaps I'm just not romantic enough!
Speak in a straightforward and brief manner. That saves time and makes your meaning clear. Confusion is the enemy.
I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts. *nodnodnodnodnod*
Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable. That, or I'm planning on how I'm going to use you for my plans of World Conquest.
Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.I wasn't always this way, but some experences with liars and other dishonest folk have made me wary...
If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place. That, or it's very noisy where we are, and such can irritate me. An, yes, my chosen work enviormnment can get quite noisy...
Don't come on like a bulldozer. My response will be: shields up, gates closed, defenses activate! And then, it gets really ugly...
Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties Ugh!, other people's loud musicIf you are two lanes over and I can make out how many times per line your rapper is swearing at sixty-five miles per hour, it's too loud!, overdone emotionsbloody dishonest so-and-sos..., and intrusions on my privacy You'd best have one really good reason or be one of my really good friends.
What I Like About Being a Five
standing back and viewing life objectively Historian.
coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects Ditto.
my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure And it has allowed me to find some very good people in some very bad places...
not being caught up in material possessions and status If it's good enough, why get something more expensive?
being calm in a crisis I can always panic after it's all done! And I do!
What's Hard About Being a Five
being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world Thus my chosen profession!
feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all Though it may take me until ten seconds after you've stormed off to feel guilty...
being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be Oi! Some days, I'd rather just read a book...
watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally When I Rule The World, things will be different!
