5 Core Argument. Looking at this page it’s very clear there are A LOT of misconceptions about both type 5 and type 9, along with people misunderstanding the correlation between socionics and enneagram. So, in this thread, I’ll seperate this argument into two parts, an enneagram core argument and an enneagram+socionics correlation argument. So let’s first start off with Kenma’s enneagram core, if you’re not interested in the socionics part, you can skip that and not read it, it’s why I’m leaving it as part 2. I will also credit every single source I have used at the end so you can check for what I said yourself if you, for some reason, don’t believe me. Anyways let’s start off with his core type. Part 1: The Core Type So first we can decide his type in a very simple way, seeing where his core type might fall into. The 3 triads are as follows: gut triad (8,9,1), heart triad (2,3,4) and the head triad (5,6,7). Now, it’s fairly obvious that Kenma is NOT in the heart triad so I won’t waste either of our time explaning that, so let’s move onto gut vs head. The gut triad, also known as the being group consists of types 8, 9 and 1. The types of this triad are identified with their dependency on the physical body and the concrete world around them, and this triad is anger based, with each of the types dealing with anger differently: 8 embraces it, 9 avoids and suppresses it and 1 who turns it into a rage for perfection/terror of being wrong. The head triad, also known as the paranoid group consists of types 5, 6 and 7. The types of this triad are identified with using their minds as a form of protecting themselves, being attached to the mental body. The title of the „doing“ group could also be assigned to this triad as they are the ones who go through internal dialogue before deciding what to do. This triad is fear based, with each of the types dealing with fear differently: 5s deal with their fear by reducing life to manageable proportions and withdrawal, 7s deal with their fear with optimism and 6s adopt strategies to create a sense of safety. Now, let’s take a look at Kenma. Kenma is someone who does not rely on the physical or his instincts at all like a gut core would, as an example, every time we see him playing he is constantly thinking trying to come up with strategies and figure his opponents out, even signaling the coach to call a timeout as soon as he has enough information to give to his team (Kuroo even calls him a mastermind strategist when they were kids lol). Still not convinced yet? Then, let’s move onto comparing the two types, 5 and 9 below in the replies.
