It takes the fear of not being intellectually stimulating and pairing it with the tradegy of the 4. A missed mark on a test will depress me for days, as I feel stupid, deficient. A question posed to me a year ago for which I should have had the answer but didn't still plagues me. In order to feel whole, I become obsessed about the missed info and will study the subject until I think I can speak about it with some credibility. Although I may now know more on the topic than the average person because of this obsession, I still have a basic fear I will be found out for the intellectual fraud I am. Also, I find that as a 5w4 it is not enough for me to study the usual subjects but that I have driving desire to study odd subjects....is that perhaps the incorporation of the uniqueness of the 4?
