According to Truity.com, “The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people conceptualize the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram mocel describes nine different personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another.”

I used https://www.eclecticenergies.com for reference, taking all the quotes from the description of each type. Feel free to take the quiz if you’d like to know your own Enneagram at https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test

Anyway, let’s jump right into it! This is an INSANELY LONG POST/SERIES so be prepared!

Leone Abbacchio:

Type 5 - The Investigator

“People of this personality type essentially fear that they don't have enough inner strength to face life, so they tend to withdraw, to retreat into the safety and security of the mind where they can mentally prepare for their emergence into the world.”

I personally feel like Leone is inside his head a lot, I almost mistyped him as a Four because of their tendencies to feel misunderstood, inherent uniqueness, and the need or dream of having a savior that will help them out of bad situations. Nevertheless, Abbacchio is not as in tune with his emotions as Fours. He closes himself off, a lot like Bruno but has more sadness inside and finds a safe haven in his mind.

“The problem for Fives is that while they are comfortable in the realm of thought, they are frequently a good deal less comfortable when it comes to dealing with their emotions, the demands of a relationship, or the need to find a place for themselves in the world.”

“Few people know what is going on beneath the surface, as Fives have an often exaggerrated need for privacy and a deep seated fear of intrusion.”

As I mentioned earlier, Abbachio is obviously uncomfortable expressing his emotions which leads to small break downs and outbreaks of anger. If he was ever in a relationship, I believe it would be very difficult for him as he wouldn’t know how to express he love and wouldn’t care for affection too much. I feel like it would overwhelm him a lot but I also think it would be helpful for him in some way to open up to at least one person other than himself.

“Fives are sensitive; they don't feel adequately defended against the world. To compensate for their sensitivity, Fives sometimes adopt an attitude of careless indifference or intellectual arrogance, which has the unfortunate consequence of creating distance between themselves and others.”

Leone compensates for his sensitivity by acting indifferent and careless, he pretends he doesn’t care that much about anything, except when it comes to Giorno and Bruno. He obviously doesn’t trust Giorno and turns this insecurity into anger or frustration. Like who pissed in your teacup? With Bruno, he trusts him more than anyone and even believes Bruno to be the closest thing to home.

“Because of their sensitivity and their fears of inadequacy, Fives fear being overwhelmed, either by the demands of others or by the strength of their own emotions.”
