: I wear practical clothes that fit comfortable...
: I don't see any need to express myself to the world via fashion...

: People who express themselves to the world through a fashion statement do so since they cannot express themselves through art or original thought.

: Cynical, yes. Witty, I think so. As well, I don't want to draw unwanted attention from strangers to me. I have no desire to tell the outside world anything about me. I would rather have them leave me alone. Anyways, I can relate to what you mean by being non-conformist inside. Some of my theories and ideas are rather...radical. I question alot of things that people take for granted. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I want to die trying! I wouldn't be considered "Artistic" by any of people who know me....but then again, does anybody know Me? Maybe if you read some of my writing you could say that, but people would probably call me "Intellectual". At times it feels great to outsmart someone.....especially if they are thinking they're so insightful by defending a certain position, then I point out something logical to them, and they go "Oh...". Its not my normal behavior, I avoid conflict...but its fun to prod them and make them look stupid! ;)

I disagree. I think "living life" can be a form of art in itself. Even the way one dresses.
I go for comfort and practicality also. My style is very understated casual. I get the feeling you imagined the appearance of some alternative "club kid". I feel like a walking contradiction sometimes...maybe I have a little of a 3w...a big part of me hates being stared at as I am very self-conscious...but another part of me likes to be "noticed" and Also, 4w5s have a "strong intellectual cast"....I see myself as much of a "thinker" as I do a creative or artistic individual.
As an intuitive, I can immediately see the "flaws" in someone's argument and, like you, I get a big kick out of pointing out the error of their logic. Too much pride. But I am trying to let God work on that.:)
