The Five with a Four-wing:"The Iconoclast"
The traits of the Five and those of the Four reinforce each other in many
ways, Both Five and Four are withdrawn types: they turn to the inner world
of their imagination to defend their egos and to reinforce their sense of
self. They both feel that something essential in themselves must be found
before they can live their lives completely. Fives lack the confidence to
act, and Fours lack a strong, stable sense of identity. Thus, Fives with a
Four-wing have difficulty connecting with others and staying grounded. People
of this subtype are more emotional and introverted than Fives with a Six-wing,
although paradoxically, they tend to be more sociable than the other subtype.
As a result to their Four component, they are also more interested in the
personal and intrapsychic. The two types also have some significant
differences in their approach. Fives are cerebral, holding experience at arm's

length, while Fours internalize everything to intensify their feelings.
^^^^^^
Despite these difference--or because of them-- these two personality types
make one of the richest subtypes, combining possibilities for outstanding
artistic as well as intellectual achievement. Noteworthy examples of this
subtype include Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Friedrich Nietzsche,
Georgia O’Keefe, John Cage, John Lennon, K. D. Lang, Laurie Anderson,
James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Buster Keaton,
Gary Larson, Stephen King, Tim Burton, Clive Barker, Franz Kafka, Umberto Eco,
Jean-Paul Sartre, Oriana Fallaci, Glenn Gould, Peter Serkin, Hannah Arendt,
Kurt Cobain, Vincent van Gogh.

不好意思 因為這本書的理論蠻複雜的 所以當初我沒把全文打出來
簡單的說 這本書是關於Enneagram的理論 主張人的性格可分成9大類型
其中第5型的性格是 理智 喜愛分析 追根究柢的人
第4型的性格則是 情緒化 自我放縱 唯美的個人主義者
第5型為主第4型為輔結合成的類型 叫做 Five with a Four-wing
因此我覺得 holding experience at arm's length的意思
應該是用和人保持距離 第三者的角度來吸收經驗
多謝大家給我的寶貴意見啦!!
