Actually, for a long time I thought that I was a 5, because most
descriptions of 4's sounded a bit too emotional and tragic for
me. I started really reading my "Personality Types" book and
under the "Direction of Disintegration: The Four goes to Two"
section, it reads..."...they are more focused on their
imaginations than on real people and events...feel stress when
others try to engage with them more directly..."etc. It also says
under the 4W5 section..."...persons of this subtype are given not
merely to self-absorption but to philosophical and religious
speculation. Their emotional world is the dominant reality, but
with a strong intellectual cast." That fits me also, the good and
the bad. I also am into the MBTI and I have taken a bunch of IQ
tests on the net (yes, I know it's geeky). Do I sound more like a
5W4? I am 27, and I completely agree with your suggestion that
age can be an influence.
