The Five’s unconscious core belief is that the world can demand too much from them and give too little. They value privacy and personal space and focus on knowledge, understanding, and conserving personal energy. They are skilled at analysis, systems, and often are the expert on what interests them. They love to learn. They may find other people to be intrusive. They dislike small talk but can enjoy talking about subjects that interest them. They can detach from other people emotionally, preferring thoughts to emotions, and at times, can become isolated. They prefer to feel their feelings when they are alone. Very self-sufficient, they prefer structure and dislike surprises. Some Fives can be more social, but will still need alone time to recharge or pursue their own interests.
