I've wondered for some time now if I've mistyped myself as a 4w5 rather than a 5w4. I definitely have strong tendencies toward the 4/envy, 5/avarice motivations. from reading through the 5 board I'm left wondering if I could go through life dealing with everything on such an analytical basis. I agree that there's a world of difference between the two boards and I feel more at home on the 4 board. That, however, has nothing to do with which type I really am. I've said all that to say this; it doesn't seem hard at all to not be able to decide between 4 & 5 from where I stand.

: Laurence,

: I was so surprised reading your posting below about Fours who mistype themselves as Fives. I spent some time reading the messages on the Four Board and was struck by how different from us the Fours are. I felt like I was visiting another planet.

: It would seem to make sense that Fours would similarly feel out-of-place on our Five Board. (Bad inference? Am I trying to be too logical when Fours aren't necessarily logical?) So it's difficult for me to imagine a Four mistyping himself/herself as a Five. I can't imagine mistyping myself as a Four.

: By the way, I mentioned in a posting below that I do score highly in the Four category. On the "New Test" I scored:

: Plus 9 as a Five,
: Plus 8 as a Four
: Plus 4 as an Eight

: All the other scores were zero or negative.

: Probably no surprise that I'm happily employed as a statistical analyst in my profession, but interested in writing, dancing and singing as avocations.

: - Robin
