The 5/1 profile
The 5/1 profile pairs the Heretic (line 5) with the Investigator (line 1). It is a left angle profile, so its path is closely tied to other people.

Line 5, the Heretic, is your conscious side. People project onto you the hope that you will solve their problem, and you can see practical solutions that help many.
Line 1: the Investigator
Line 1, the Investigator, is the unconscious side. Underneath, you need to know your subject. Your research is what lets your solutions hold up.
How the two lines work together
Together they make the well-researched problem-solver. When you are called on and your answer is solid, your reputation grows quickly. When you overpromise, the projection can turn. Doing the homework is your protection.
Relationships
People may see in you the rescuer they want. Close relationships work best when the other person sees you clearly, and when you can step back to recharge.
Work
Strategy, leading in a crisis, teaching and any field that values a practical, researched answer suit you. Keep clear boundaries about what you will deliver.
A question to sit with
Which problem are you being asked to solve, and is your foundation strong enough to carry it?
