: At an E-gram conference, where we split into Type groups. The Four group had to split in half because there were so many of them. At first I suggested we might all just sit there and cry. (joke) People said things like they didn't understand why God had abandoned them, and that they had always felt like they'd just been dumped here ( in the world I assume). There was connectedness for me with another 4w5 in particular, less so with a rather competitive 4w3 - but much communication and interest.
: Funny thing was I even managed to feel the odd one out in a group of Fours!
: A lot of focussing on the spiritual.

: I found I was being more positive than a lot of the others, and concerned about the feelings, stories I was hearing. My two wing came out. I was still trying to contribute that which I perceived as missing within the group - an unconscious habit. Wish I had taken some notes now, but I was really tired at the time, Helen Palmer's voice makes me fall asleep.

Thanks Tiggy for sharing. Had I been in that group I think I would have been reacting much like yourself, with my two side coming out, distancing myself from the competitive 4w3, and gravitating toward the 4w5s (esp. if they had some nine in them). --J
