: 1. Feel that neither side of your personality (4 or 3, if you're a 4w3, for example) is expressed adequately?
The question is moot. Our type is an inherent weakness and our wings are tools we use to make up for that weakness. Don't make it any more complicated than it already is...
: 3. Love the sound of old recordings (as opposed to your standard audiophile, who demands surround-sound stereo digital recordings)?
Love old lyrics and the way old music is pieced together. It's the meaning of the sound, not the sound itself, which moves me.
: 4. Poignantly remember certain strangers that pass you, whom you see for only a few seconds... and then, perhaps even create mental scenarios about them?
Yes. Unfortunately, the ones I notice I see as either mortal foes or aching mates.
: 5. Enjoy making up silly names?
I haven't thought of it as being joyfull or otherwise. It just happens.
: 6. Enjoy taunting people in comical voices?
Same as above...

: A note about my recent inquiry: "Do Fours necessarily dress flamboyantly?" ... I get the impression that, quite often, a person, probably of some other type, will see someone dressed like a walking theatrical display, and say "He/she must be a Four or a Seven." With this mental schema, they then conclude that this sort of manner, in the case of Fours in general, is the rule.
: I was also disconcerted by a post, some time ago, in which a very bold person insisted to a self-described Four that she must be mistaken - that she couldn't possibly be a Four, precisely *because* she didn't look and act like a walking freak show.
: That's why I'm looking for a tally, of sorts. How many of you "decorate" yourselves? And please don't get technical or "broad-minded"; I'm sure you know perfectly well what I mean, like it or not. I'm not judging you, I'm just trying to reconcile the popular conception, or, if necessary, separate it from the truth.
Classic clothes that are comfortable and colognes that match my body chemistry and can only be detected by a woman that enters my personal space. Cackis, T-Shirts, Jeans, sparse jewelry and, if I have to dress up, Double-Breasted Suit or Sport Coat, White Shirt and ties with "romantic" patterns and sharp, contrasting colors.
Black is a double edged sword when it's the only color I'm wearing, since the ones I seek to bring into my circle always relate it to priesthood, while foes see it as a harbinger for an Angel of Doom.
