    So basically what you're trying to say is that being "dark" maybe cause by something else. it can be since everything has a dark side so different types can be dark in their own way but I just don't like it

    thanks a lot but I have read it before


    having 3 in his tritype can also mean that his search for new passions is for the sake of accomplishment or to be admired for being a know-it-all guy, this can explain why he keep learning something else.
    for me it is not about accomplishment, it can be anything I like to do. and I described the thing I want as a passion or purpose so I can do it continuously so I don't want something that I will let go of it and move on.

    since anyone would be interested in searching for a passion, maybe the best way to describe what I am looking for is as something when I am doing make me feel the same as when I watched "Death Note"
    He definitely didn't come off as a dark person, maybe a bit antisocial if anything, but he was drawn to darker things when it came to humor and to a certain degree sex but nothing too far out and nothing gross/repulsive. He wasn't much into watching movies or TV since he found it boring, especially horror. He was more into developing his interests and the range was vast. He definitely didn't pursue things like art, music, martial arts, computer programming and library science for others recognition. He did it purely for his own reasons. His 3 came into play in a more subtle way so it would have been more of a 513 order of the tritype. On the enneagram test he got 5w6.

    He did not want me to discuss our lives, good or bad things, with anyone or tell anyone what he was doing. I think that was where his 3 came into play a lot because he was raised in a family who were constantly warning him about image and privacy . He was into bodybuilding and looking physically attractive (I guess that might be 3 related too since he didn't want people to see us together and wonder why I was with him) but he was very private about things he enjoyed doing. Like he would not play his guitar for anyone but me after he left the musicians institute but he was so good. He didn't want me to praise him on his playing in front of others or even mention he played. I think it had to do with not feeling good enough. It was weird in a way but I learned to be more discreet because of him. I don't think he planned to move on to new things but it happened when a new passion took hold. That could probably apply to any type though.

    a side note: I think your old avatar was better
    Me too. I went all emo for a minute. hahah I was going to change it back but then got distracted fixing an old computer and working on my network. Thanks for the reminder.

    5w4s are more emotionally absorbed and tend towards the artistic, 5w6s are typically pretty detached and mechanical. they both seek specialization, but with the former it's about reshaping themselves according to whatever template they've projected onto the pursuit, whereas with the latter it's about performing a function and potentially (especially with so influence) filling a role. the introspection is more dry and desolate with 5w6s; in contrast to 5w4s who are just intrapersonally estranged, they appear to lack a certain component of self (but always manage to compensate for it relatively well). identity issues don't really occur, and depersonalization is relatively common in 5w4s.

    sounds potentially 4-ish
