Hi Tigs!

Yes, I AM a Four...every enneagram test I take I get that at the top (or a Five). But I realized I'm not a Five since I have alot of emotion behind me. As well, I have a creative/artistic zest for life...my first instinct when I see a night sky is to marvel before it, not to understand it. Fours are a very varied bunch, and it was ignorance of this fact which made me feel "different". Of course, wouldnt it be typically Fourish to believe I am truly individualistic and different than any other Four? :) You were right in typing me...I'm most likely a 4w5, but I'm not so sure I'm as healthy (and going to one) as you think. Depression is the noose that strangles my heart and drains it of all life. Apathy is the leash that drags me around wherever it wants to go. So, I'm in a rather miserable state as you can see, hidden underneath that metaphorical language. But what is odd is I don't think I'm going to two at all! It feels like I'm Less needy ironically...and get this...I tend to take up negative aspects of One. I get highly perfectionistic, very judgemental, I feel superior in thinking only I know what is up. Has this ever happened to you? Thanks for your input.

-Cory
