At the risk of sounding judgmental (which some people here should be used to anyway), I think that Fours are identifiable, even behind their cyberspace masks, by their picky standards. They overrate normality, convention, and politeness. Does it make sense? They probably use more little pixelated expressions (faces and such) than most people (say, Eights perhaps. Heheh). Maybe they do these things to compensate for what they feel they're missing "IRL." PS - Dear Areia, you sound like a very "social" Four (I'm talking "Hornevian categories"). I got that impression the first time I recall you signing yourself ("One o' them crazy Fours"). The key question that social Fours ask themselves is "Do I measure up?" Please, realize that shame is very much an illusion, but being dissatisfied with your work is a mark of thrift toward quality. Remember - a lot of those classic authors were compulsive correctors, and dit it till they died!
