: Hi Mark! I'm also a 4. I don't consider myself a "Tragic Romantic," as we are often titled. I know that I'm a 4. Individualistic does describe me, and Artist -- well, I'm pretty creative, but not really eccentric. I appear pretty conservative, at least on the surface. As you can read in my other postings, the main thing on my mind these days is the pain caused by feeling that my boss doesn't like me, and she is rude to me. Well, it isn't the MAIN thing on my mind. My real, happy life is in cyber-space! I'm starting to notice that people take the Enneagram test, and they think that their highest score is their type. It might be, but I'm surprised at the people who don't read about all of the types after they test to make sure they have typed themselves correctly. On my homepage, I have links to tests, and people often respond to me by telling me their scores and they think the highest score is "it." I think it takes a little more analysis than what you get just from taking the test. ///o-o\\\

Hi Mark and Brenda. My first experience with enneagrams involved a two
hour evaluation by a local expert. She dubbed me a "classic" 4. Since
then, I've studied all sorts of 4 materials and read about the other types
as well. Still, everything 4 speaks to me. Trouble is, now I find
myself justifying unwanted behavior by saying "oh I'm just being a 4". And
sometimes I even act out 4 stuff I might not have otherwise... Any
thoughts on this?
