Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. They become detached, yet high-strung and intense. They typically have problems with eccentricity, nihilism, and isolation. At their Best: visionary pioneers, often ahead of their time, and able to see the world in an entirely new way.

TI’m Craig gross, a 42 year old type 3 who discovered the Enneagram over a year ago from my friends Levi and Brandi. I didn’t care much for it until I read The Path Between Us and read it aloud to my wife Jeanette. After 20 years of marriage trying to turn my type 5 wife into a 3 like me, I finally gave up and realized I should just try and understand her more and work on myself. In the last few months I have made significant changes in my work life, home life, and beyond as I dig more into ...

I don’t know where to begin this conclusion. It feels like a daunting task. I am not a naturally gifted, empathetic writer like Levi. I don’t have profound, deep thoughts like Craig. One thing I know for sure, though, is that my husband is a different person from the nineteen-year-old I met in 1995. Of course, he would be different in appearance. H…
