Fives want mastery over their personal domain. Emotionally detached, penurious Fives seek to observe life from a safe and protected distance while stockpiling facts, theories and information. They camouflage themselves and minimize needs, preferring not to rely on their relationships. Others may see Fives as emotionally detached, scientific observers of life who hide in their office or behind a wall of data or expertise. They can also be wizards, cool decision makers, perspicacious analysts, theorists and consultants.
