I dunno where the 5 votes are coming from. 5s are withdrawn types who pull away from people. The first thing this guy does is chat up everyone, and then start aggressively flirting with a woman he sees as the "future ex-wife." He has gotten married (and divorced) 3 times, and had 3 kids whom he loves because "anything can happen" around them (a love of chaos -- noise, confusion, and risk). He has been an absentee father due to chasing women and has no real relationship with his daughter until the second film, where you see a lot more of his doubting, questioning, and safety-first 6 wing (though it's also present here, in his deadpanned puns, and his cautiousness -- that whole you got so excited you "could" you forgot to ask if you "should" speech is dripping with 6 distrust, suspicion, and accusations). I think he's actually a 713 tritype -- fun-loving but cautious core, followed by a rigid moralistic tendency (you guys did a Bad Thing) and a 3ish self-ambition. He's in no way a withdrawn, reclusive 5 who is "afraid to engage with the world, so I hide behind collecting knowledge and never feel ready to use it" (that's Grant, the man who doesn't want to get married or have kids or be around people, the true 5).
