Type Five Compatibility

**My December** · 09-22-2010 07:41 PM

So, there is really not one type that fits a 5 better than any of the others?

As far as I've seen, 1s seem to be the best for me (Type 5).

I need me a 1 or a 3. >:3

Most of my friends are fours, and I believe my current romantic interest is as well. The description seems to fit.

thank you for making this thread!!!!! I appreciated your posts on 5's with 2's, 4's and 9's. -I think the 9's are the most scary to me to date......the whole "out of sight out of mind" -no wonder they are so fickle to me. :-)

company and intellectual stimulation, loving to debate and admiring the intelligence and expertise exhibited by the other. Unexpectedly, they tickle each other's funny bone—this pair loves to laugh together at life's absurdities. Child rearing, traveling, building a house, shared hobbies, or other complex activities are mutually stimulating and bonding for them.
They both are highly respectful of personal boundaries, rarely being the one to make the first move in anything regarding intimacy unless they have pretty strong signals from the other that they would be welcomed. Thus, Ones and Fives tend to bring a certain formality and courtesy to each other that can be charmingly courtly and old-fashioned. Ones add to this a concern with logic and order, with systematic thinking, attention to details and the desire to improve the world around them. Fives bring curiosity, the willingness to be intellectually (and sexually) adventuresome

Im a 5w4 with a 6w7 and it sounds like that's a more uncommon pairing.
I seem to be very attracted to 9's and 6's. My best friend is a 1 but with a very strong 9 wing.

I don't know if this is a rule or just the 2's I've met, but almost every single one of them I've been "close" to have had either a very un-introspective OR disingenuous quality to them

Are you sure you’re not 4w5? I’ve read that both 4w5s and 5w4s are hard to differentiate AND fours are more attracted to those types you mentioned.

100% positive. When I first did the test a few years ago I did come out as 4, and I do have a strong 4 wing in some regards though. But I don't identify with most of the four personality, particularly being emotional in any way. And I do think it's in my tritype. 5 fits me to a T. My brother is also a 4 and when I look at us side by side it's clear we don't have the same motivations.

"Fives can see Sixes as closed-minded drudges and fanatics, whereas Sixes see Fives as weird, isolated, and hopelessly impractical. As a pair, these are emotional opposites and tend to work better as professional colleagues than as intimates: one wants to put out fires, the other wants to play with matches."

This is exactly the problem I have with a friend of mine.
