: Fours seek relationships that are intense and dramatic.
: Sixes seek relationships that are steady and secure.

I think I'm tied on that one. I fantasize about a really dramatic relationship, but I think with such a one I'd go crazy in real life.

: Fours trust that what their feelings tell them is true.
: Sixes, even when Feeling types, use their reasoning to verify the truth.

Again a sort of tie; I try to reason things through, but if you ask some of the people around here they'll tell you I'm not very reasonable. ;) (However, my feelings are telling me I'm a Four and I believe them--what's that say?)

: Fours usually have calm and sometimes breathy or sad voices.
: Sixes usually have halting or nervous-sounding voices.

Uh...I'm not really sure about this one at all. I don't really listen to myself. All I know is I talk too loudly sometimes. I may sound calm sometimes, I suppose, but I'm not breathy, I don't think I'm halting, and I usually try to hide it from others if I'm feeling sad or nervous--I don't think I'm either of those.

: Fours lean toward depression.
: Sixes lean toward anxiety.

I have to admit, Six has got me on this one. I lean more toward anxiety--but the anxiety brings on depression. This is common. I think in terms of things that I have to do or accomplish, and people I have to meet (external situations), I'm more Sixish. However, in terms of looking at myself and my situation (internal situations), I'm very much depressive, and very much Fourish.
