Some ways in which a Four might rub up against other types - from my own experiences.

Type 1 - Considers Four to be unstable, overly emotional, too subjective.
Fours consider 1 repressed, cold, out of touch with emotions, overly rigid.

Type 2 - Considers Four to be deliberately wallowing in misery, too direct so hurtful.
Fours consider 2 irrational, manipulative, untrustworthy.

Type 3 - Considers Four to be lazy, odd, unproductive.
Fours consider 3 superficial, mercenary, self-centred.

Type 5 - Considers Four to be too volatile, too emotional, manipulative.
Fours consider 5 too detached, mean, lacking in ambition, slow.

Type 6 - Considers Four to be childish, rebellious, impractical.
Fours consider 6 to be sneaky, cowardly, dull.

Type 7 - Considers Four to be neurotic, oppressive, selfish.
Fours consider 7 immoral, shallow, avoidant.

Type 8 - Considers Four to be weak, awkward, frustrating
Fours consider 8 intimidating, aggressive, pernickity.

Type 9 - Considers Four to be stressed, hysterical, a worrier
Fours consider 9 lazy, avoidant, dreamer, irresponsible.

Have you found any similarities/differences?
Tomorrow I'll do a positive one - what types appreciate about each other.
