Heres a question I have on four emotionality.
Do fours actually experience most of their emotions in the moment,
or do they take and internalize the emotion and abstract it, and 'put it'
into something else later?
For example, there is an 8, 2, 7 and four in the same room. The eight
is telling jokes. The 2 & 7 enjoy and laugh hard. Quickly after the feelings
of elation subside, but they feel slightly good for the rest of the day from
all the laughter.
The 4 also laughs, but it is restrained. The four carries the feelings inside for
the rest of the day and deliberetely thinks about them, bascially streching the feeling
out. They may talk to several people that day and squeeze some of that good feeling out
for that person.
Is that how it is, or another way?
