type five
the observer
worldview
I am thoughtful and a keen observer of life. I don’t like being put on the spot, especially when asked about my feelings. It takes me time to process, and I need to respond when I’m ready. I seek knowledge and self-sufficiency. I enjoy researching and tend to be an expert in the areas that interest me. My time, space and energy are very important to me. I am good with setting boundaries, as I like to minimize intrusions or demands made of me. I also value privacy. I appreciate knowing the facts before I commit to taking action.
