Nah, you're a 3.

Imo E type is somewhat confusing and not as definite.
The tri-type of 3-5-8 is pretty good description of me.
If I am a 3 then sp/sx would be better instinct.
If I am a 5 then sx/sp would be better instinct.
I'm pretty sure I'm a 8 last of 358 combinations, so it would be 538 or 358.
I don't think I'm really sp primary, because many of the things sp embody or is described is simply not me. I do like sp/sx women tho.
What about sp doesn't fit?
I prefer to all my best thinking outside, or in a bar, or in conversation with someone(generally just one person). I really hate being at home and such because I'm just playing a video game or reading something and it's a huge waste of time.
I'm not someone that would be happy working from home, I prefer the office environment even if I don't really talk to anyone in the office. Being at home is just stagnant and something I enjoy but I don't like being cooped up inside. I do like my home to be pleasant and attractive, but I spend minimal time doing this.
I'm not soc I don't think but I generally go out at least 3-4 nights a week, I used to do this 5-6 nights a week and was never home. My soc/sx friend goes out 7 nights a week and it's impossible for me to maintain that level of social life.

Hk it never occurred to me that you're a 5. It doesn't really make sense. 3 seems like a much better typing, and I don't even know what enneagram you are (you might not be a 3, but definitely not a 5, IMHO).
That's interesting, since I think 5 is how I see myself. I've spent most of my life developing my skills in various things, like computers, etc, in order to be able to do things as good as possible. I think 5/3 are very similar and one of the things where I think I most differ from a 3 is this.
