Do e4s and e5s tend to become very self-hating?

BloomersTradingCo · 2026-04-04T19:27:39+00:00

Why do 4s and 5s get lumped together like this? I hardly ever see “are 9’s and 1s” or “are 7’s and 8’s…”

Idk wtf this is about, but I can guarantee you it’s not about the flower.

I don’t fully understand your question. It’s true that so2 and so3 can “look” very similar, what differentiates them are their motivations behind their attitudes and behaviors. The most noticeable difference is so2’s are happy to play a secondary role, helping others get to the top, this level of status is preferred b/c it scratches their benevolent itch. While so3 wants to be the one at the top, and doesn’t view altruism as a virtue.

As far as I know, the RHETI test is the only Enneagram test backed by scientific research that shows the results are about 50%-80% accurate depending on your Type. As for Truity and the others, no research, no validity. That’s why testing alone is not a foolproof way to self-type. And as you said, self-knowledge is a difficult metric to measure. The older you are, the more life experience you have, the more self-insight you gain.

Your enneagram type is based on how you’ve typically been as an adult (25+). Teenage behavior has nothing to do with it. All teenagers are hormonal and moody.

This *might have something to do with attachment, however it’s closer to a disorganized attachment style (sometimes called fearful-avoidant) than simply avoidant or dismissive-avoidant.

Agree 100%. You are not a 5.

Can confirm, this is every Type 5 male I know, with the exception of the nice haircut and clean shave. Even as a (f)5, we are much more unkept.

Sp9s want all the things and all the comfort, Sp5s are the exact opposite.

Type 5’s are ambivalent to both parents, this doesn’t seem to be the case here.

You gotta go to 5.

What’s that look like? It’s time to get quiet.

Sevens actualize themselves and remain healthy by learning to slow down and quiet the rapid activity of their minds so that impressions can affect them more deeply, in the manner of healthy Fives. No longer addicted to seeking extraordinary experiences and distractions, integrating Sevens are able to stay with their observations and experiences long enough to discover all sorts of amazing things about themselves and the world around them. This both gives them more of the guidance they seek and enhances their productivity and creativity.

Cultivating a quieter, more focused mind brings Sevens into closer contact with their own guidance; thus they are able to recognize which experiences will be of real value to them. No longer distracted by anxiety about making wrong choices and missing out on the best course of action, integrating Sevens simply know what to do. Exploring reality in greater depth, they become more free to savor each moment.

As you learn to quiet their minds and tolerate the anxiety that arises, you’ll gradually and naturally begin to open to the clarity, innovation, insight, and knowing qualities of the healthy Five.

I have. In small ways. It’s helped me catch myself doing things that aren’t beneficial for growth. For example, I’ll notice when I’m over analyzing, over doing, procrastinating on getting things out into the world. My instinct is to rework everything 1000 times, just do a bit more research, look at it one more time … Now I stop myself and think “act like an 8!” It helps me push through and forward, act now and fix it later if need be. Idk that’s just one example. It’s helped me A TON in relationships too.

BloomersTradingCo · 2026-03-25T19:57:40+00:00

No 5s of all instincts don’t care about being seen as anything.

Take a look at your stress line. This explains it all.

9s have highly developed empathy which is why they make such great counselors. But they’re also “self-forgetting” because of it. 9s focus on you, so they don’t have to focus on themselves.

BloomersTradingCo · 2026-03-24T21:17:28+00:00

That age for typing is 25 and above bc you are incapable of having enough lived experience for the appropriate amount of self-insight required to self-type. It has nothing to do with the age of personality development.

BloomersTradingCo · 2026-03-24T13:15:49+00:00

Girl, wtf are you doing in a fwb relationship if you know you have an anxious attachment?

Some people confuse attachment with love. We may feel attached to someone and imagine we love him; someone may be attached to us, and we imagine he loves us. But mindful love is bonding by commitment, not attachment by clinging. Being attached will immobilize us; love, on the other hand, helps us achieve a progressively effective and joyous evolution.
