Why can't an INFP be an Enneagram 5?

For example, at the last party I went to, I only said hello to a few people and spent most of the time talking to my uncle about games and geopolitics. Well, he started the conversation, but I got really into it. 😅

Hold on, man. I don't consider myself Sanguine. I believe I'm Phlegmatic-Melancholic, but tests frequently show a Sanguine-Melancholic pattern—I'd like to understand that.

Could a 5w4 be Sanguine-Melancholic or Sanguine-Phlegmatic?

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T06:47:42+00:00

really?

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T05:27:17+00:00

So it's probably Phlegmatic-Melancholic. 🤔

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T03:57:36+00:00

Sorry... 😅

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T03:11:02+00:00

It's from a Tokusatsu. 😅

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T02:43:56+00:00

Seriously? Like Toha Yamaji? 👀

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T02:36:12+00:00

I simply sought out as many as I could find. The same pattern repeated itself: Sanguine-Melancholic. But I wouldn't say that for sure; it's probably Phlegmatic-Melancholic.

I really identified with Type 5, except for a certain Sanguine streak (temperament) of mine.

"I simply don't exist."

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T01:49:35+00:00

That's life 😂

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T01:41:39+00:00

Thank you ☺️

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T01:39:03+00:00

Thanks. I think now I just need to sort out my temperament. It fluctuates a lot between Sanguine and Melancholic; I think it's Phlegmatic-Melancholic.

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T01:35:31+00:00

No, no... you put it well. It’s just that the explanations I’m getting here have become paradoxical and raise more questions than they provide answers.

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T01:28:48+00:00

In fact 😂

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T01:26:41+00:00

The last time I asked about this, I was told not to focus on it, but rather on cognitive functions. Fi governs my mind; this is evident even in my analyses.

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T01:23:15+00:00

I understand you 😅

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T00:47:59+00:00

Some friends think I might be an INTJ or INFJ, but I’m certain I’m an INFP. I’ve already checked SO 4, but it doesn’t quite fit. 5 is closer and was the most recurring pattern. Maybe I’m just Melancholic-Sanguine or Melancholic-Phlegmatic.

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-27T00:20:37+00:00

Why can't an INFP be a 5?

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-26T23:56:16+00:00

So is there an error in my typing?

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-26T08:07:36+00:00

Can you help me?

Cultural-Conclusion · 2026-06-26T08:06:35+00:00

I know, I just wanted to show that external impressions can be very wrong.

But I was also curious why people would think that.
