Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive Seems to be a major problem areaPosted by Cory on October 08, 1999 at 18:20:27: In Reply to: I know how you feel! posted by Ev on October 08, 1999 at 08:13:35: I have talked to many other people in our predicament. I haven't heard much about other types being confused....it usually seems to be between 4 and 5 (and 9 sometimes). It seems like I am a mixture of those three, and its almost impossible to filter out what I am. I have the actions of a Nine, the mind of a Five, and the heart of a Four. Thinking back to my childhood hasn't helped me much. I was very intelligent (five), emotional (four), and daydreaming (nine). If you analyzed me for a week, you would probably come to the conclusion that I'm a Nine...since my actions appear like that. However, what goes on in my head is different from alot of other Nines....its the same thing that goes on in a four or five's head. I think Nines tune out the outer world because they want peace...for me, I tune out the world because I'm so engrossed in whats going on Inside. Its a fascinating world of analyzing, creating, thinking, feeling, wondering, speculating, etc. The "real world" is so dull and lifeless compared to it. Even though I have alot of things in common with Nines, there are some differences. The main problem (for me anyways) is that I don't know enough fours and fives in real life. Well, I might, but I don't know their type. I would need to compare myself to each of them and see how I act. How much emotion would I have to show to be a Four? Do I have to be more rational to be a Five? Etc. -Cory
