No. You mentioned an IEI without Fi. And that's exactly what I explained, something that resembles base Fe (ignoring Fi), which has little in common with enneagram 4 or 5.

Creative Fe on the other hand, as Aylen posted, does a lot more individual emotional processing and has a lot in common with enneagram 4 and very little to do with being emotionally disconnected (enneagram 5).

Basically, your reasoning is insufficient to justify the claim that xEIs can be enneagram 5.
