You know you're a type 5 when...

When you frequently find yourself taking great delight in trying to figure something out, while also being thoroughly irritated that you don't just know the answer already.

when you are energized and confident about speaking and sharing when someone seeks your input on a subject that you've spent years studying and researching; you aren't hesitant, you don't hold back, you light up and are informative, thorough, and engaging when such opportunities arise.

@SillaSY, I am so conscious of when this happens. It's like "Bing!", my energy and enthusiasm has kicked in (for other people to see). I think a couple of my co-workers have clued in to this.

Yes, "Bing!" for sure. "Bing!" several times, sparks, and fireworks! Lol, but that's how it seems. :)

I think this statement can apply to any type. But you're probably a Five if that's the only time you're energized and confident about speaking..lol.

Whenever I hear the song "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer, and he sings, "skeptics mess with the confidence in my eyes," I think, "Yep, that's our job!" This, in turn, makes me think of this thread. :)

Curiosity in everything! Why? How come? Just love to dig into the bottom of a situation/problem.

When your actions in life reflect your belief that "Knowledge is power."

When you won't speak in a group until you can do is work out in your head why something is the way that it is, that has completely NOTHING to do with the topic.

You don't notice a cop has been following you for several miles because you're trying to figure out what you are doing wrong in a math problem.
The swerving it naturally presumed to be texting, the policeman seems very baffled to see a dashboard and steering wheel littered with homework
