Well, at least I THINK its a 3-wing. For example, there is my False Self and my Real Self. My Real Self can only be revealed when I'm comfortable with the person(s), be it behind a keyboard or with a close friend. However, I am my False Self most of the time, although sometimes my Real Self peeks out from underneath the curtain. I hide my philosophy, MBTI, enneagram, books and novels underneath my bed because I don't want my parents to know the "deeper, intellectual" side of me. Instead, I have put up a false front when dealing with them, which appears to be a 9. Most people I come in contact with, I have no desire to express the real self, because I don't feel I should waste my time on people who don't understand, and since I take insults very personally, I don't want to be ridiculed for being different. So perhaps I'm a closet 4? hehe. Anyways, does anyone else have "two sides" to them? One thing that should be mentioned is that its been said that Fours (particularily with a 3wing) wear non-conformist clothes. For me, its the absolute opposite...I don't WANT to reveal to the public any part of me. Instead, they have to go through my layers of personality and find my core. Then they will see who I really am.
