I don't know why you'd think the ones described in the Enneagram books aren't modern. But anyway....

I'm more of a Four wing three, I guess, and I'm more extravert than some of the Four wing Fives here, in the sense of being quite happy to talk to anyone, and not minding speaking out in a group. I'm also less inclined to hide myself, but wear brightly coloured clothes and love wearing scarves and hats to be noticed. I enjoy having an audience, but still consider myself to be a shy person. These things may make me seem superficial to a Four wing Five, but this lot know I'm not by now, I hope!

As regards success, I do have a strong desire to be successful, but that may be because I've been such a failure, and I'm fed up with it. I am driven though when it comes to researching something, or exploring, or motivating others. I like teaching and dynamic counselling. I also like to make people laugh. I would like to write a book too and achieve more academic success.

I also have intellectual strengths from the Five wing, in that I enjoy being analytical and enjoy abstract ideas and getting the 'big picture'. I also collect things - make collections I mean.

I don't tend to be withdrawing as many Fours are, but that may be cos I started off life with such a fear of abandonment, as a baby. I also don't hide as much maybe. Most people on here say they aren't as open in 'real life', but I am just the same. There is at least one 4w3 male on here and two or three 4w3 females, who are both more extravert.

I'm from England too - SW Essex,(Brentwood) near London. Where are you from? Here's my Email address princesstiggy@icqmail.com You're only the second English female I've corresponded with on the Enneagram boards, and the first one on here. There are a couple of Irish guys and one English one from the London area. One Turkish, one Finn, one from Sweden, two Australians,loads of Americans, one North American Indian.
