Type 5 — The Investigator
Perceptive, independent, and a deep thinker.
You want to understand how things work, and you guard your time, energy, and privacy so you can do it. At your best you're insightful, calm, and a font of expertise. The trap is retreating: you can hoard knowledge and energy, hold the world at arm's length, and live more in your head than in your life. Growth comes when you let yourself act before you feel fully prepared and share yourself with people, not just your ideas.
