Hi, Waves,

I found a better article that refers to the study.
The fifth type has only newly been identified -- apathetic boredom.

They studied German college and h.s. students.

Apparently people usually experience the same type of boredom:

“We therefore speculate that experiencing specific boredom types might, to some degree, be due to personality-specific dispositions,” reports Goetz.
I'm not sure if I have one of those types. I do have depression.
