"Five's Believes: I don't need much, but I need my space"

Spellbind by Clare Cherikoff

Words can be powerful spells. Most of us were taught that it was sticks and stones that break the bones. Words? Not so much. But words have a mostly unexamined grip on our lives. When we believe them, they shape us and they shape us early. In this book for children and parents of all ages, author Clare Cherikoff spins a tale that shows us the seemingly magical spells woven by words, helps us to recognize them and learn how it is possible to live life more freely.

Words we believe + our personality = who we think we are.

The other important theme here is that of human personality. The nine temperaments types are familiar to students of the enneagram. They play a major part of the story and noted with great humor and compassion. A simple and useful mythology arises within the story to explain this often unexamined system to us.

The issues they are facing are no less fascinating than:
1: Who do you think you are?
2: What if that's Not True?

This book is a great addition to this genre of storytelling indeed an homage to J.K. Rowling, etc. It might help SOME PEOPLE to get a better understanding of the 9 Temperament Types, a topic which Clare deftly teaches. If you have that knowledge, it adds to the joy of watching the plot unfold.

Five's Believes: I don't need much, but I need my space
To print a copy of an Free Enneagram ebook

The study of the Nine Temperaments is called the Enneagram and is described in the free ebook listed above. The Enneagram types (Temperaments) are not made up of lists of character traits, but are founded in a person's core values. Each Temperament represents what that person considers something very important to their life such as power, security, harmony, knowledge, fulfillment, i.e.

Your Temperament enables you to make a valuable contributions to your life; but it also causes you to neglect other values, creating a psychological ‘blind spot” for you.

This is why, if you:

Do you:
1. Love collecting information
2. Build enormous library of facts in your own head?

You could be the Five Temperament Type. This type is often physically sensitive so the world and everyone in it can seem overwhelming and intrusive. They see the world and everything in it as something to observe and study objectively. This can mean they miss out on fully experiencing what is going on because they're in their heads and disassociated.

They don't always join in on activities preferring to spend much of their time on their own - after all, the world seems populated by vast numbers of people talking about inconsequential matters that have no bearing on any facts!

Sometime you can tell this Temperament Type by the way they speak. Their talking style is called 'treatise' - basically they download facts. Firstly, they are very quiet, then, if you get them speaking about their specialized knowledge they'll deliver a lecture!

They possibly project the idea of having no knowledge onto you and think you need information. They can also hide behind facts. They are not always the most confident with other people and so sharing data is one way to communicate without having to share themselves in a personal way.

The five prefers to observe from the outside. This way they can remain in their head making mental notes about what they're observing.

Did you know?

The Power of Nine is your Key to Happiness and Joy.

There are nine Temperaments. Fifty percent (50%) of your happiness is determined by your Temperament.

Understanding your Temperament Type allows you to work with it and increase your own happiness. The ways individual people inherently view the world/themselves and process information are not the same but do tend to group in different clumps.

Pick the person about that you admire, like and think you are like and click on that number below and listen to the Video.

One way to view this distribution is as nine basic Temperaments Types. They all need different experiences to be really happy.

What do they really want?

Temperament One examples are: Hillary Clinton, Tom Brokaw, Martha Stewart, Al Gore, and Tony Randall. These people want to be good. They have high ideals and value and are attracted to situations where those ideals are met. They want to realize all their potential and help others actualize theirs. They envision making the world a better place to live.

Temperament Two examples are: Bill Cosby, Alan Alda, Nancy Reagan, Dolly Parton, and Pat Boone. These people want to know they are loving. They want to nurture others and foster relationships. They value and are attracted to love. They envision making the world a more loving place to live.

Temperament Three examples are: Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Bill Clinton. These people are attracted to and value productivity, industry, and competence. They envision making the world more productive, organized, efficient, and smooth running. They see the universe as chaos and want to really make it a cosmos, a harmonious and orderly system.

Temperament Four examples are: Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Neil Diamond, and Angelina Jolie. These people want to be unique individuals with lots of originality. They enjoy putting their personal touch on everything in which they are involved. They also value beauty and want to make the world a more beautiful place to live.

Temperament Five examples are: Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Howard Hughes, George Lucas, and Karl Marx. These people long for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, truth. They want to make the world a more enlightened place by discovering what is real and true and making it more intelligible to others.

Temperament Six examples are: Helen Palmer, Michael Moore, Tom Hanks, Rush Limbaugh, Richard Nixon, and Mel Gibson. These people want to make the world a safer, more secure, more reliable, more trustworthy place to live and they will question anyone’s authority in their effort to do so. They value loyalty in themselves and others and stand by their commitments.

They are attracted to, appreciate, and effectively use power. They envision using their strength to influence others and bring about a more just world where power and resources are equitably distributed.

Temperament Nine examples are: Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Jimmy Stewart, Carl Jung, and Dwight Eisenhower. These people want to feel at one with others and at home in the universe.

Why do we use numbers?

Names such as: Fives are the: Observer, Investigator, Thinker, Philosopher or Guru are commonly used to decribed the Temperaments Types. We use numbers instead of any names.

We use numbers to designate each of the Temperament Types because numbers are value neutral. They imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each Temperament without specifying anything either positive or negative.

The numerical ranking of the Types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number.

No Temperament Type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the Temperament Types have unique assets and liabilities, some Types are often more desirable than others in our society. You may not be happy with your particular Type. You may feel that your Type is “limited" in some way. As you learn more about all the Types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different “limits.”

People do not change from one basic Temperament Type to another. Some Types are more valued in our society than others; it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those Types.

The descriptions of the Temperament Types apply equally to males and females, since no Type is inherently masculine or feminine. Not everything in the description of your basic Type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly.
