I personally saw a lot of similarities between the 2 types. And I related a lot to both types and understood why I scored equally high for both, but I felt closer to a 5.

But then, I read about 3’s and 5’s being misidentified:

“The principal reason these two very different types are confused is that some average Threes (especially if they are intelligent) would like to see themselves as "thinkers." Since Fives are most stereotypically seen as the "intelligent, thinking type," average Threes may choose it rather than the type they actually are. This misidentification is made almost exclusively by Threes since Fives are not likely to think that they are Threes.”

And then I felt some type of way about it and was like “damn am I just an average 3 who is a wannabe 5?” and I went down the rabbit hole and started to hyper focus on how different the two types are Lol.

New to the enneagram so I’m still learning.
