: margaret, you seem very 4 to me, no offense. it's hard to say, since i'm not you, but you're really focused on poetry-fluffy-minded-idon'tgiveadamnaboutitatall,pleaseshootme-woowoo type stuff. again, not meant to be offensive, but as a 5 a part of me can't tolerate that sorta thing. (tho i'm sure i'ts very useful and good and wonderful for you.) also, you felt like you were the "true" 4, and that mattered: very 4ish there. 45s are really agressive at times, as are 54s. don't let the word "withdrawn" fool you. 4s are passionate enough to move mountains and 5s are confident enough to drill thru them; tho neither knows it. : occasionally i can't think when drunk. that's about it. even then, i try really really hard. never had to worry about it, really, just figured i'd always be the smartest one around me. typical 5 arrogance, i suppose. : plus, yo'ure diagnosed with depression. very very 4ish. not that 5s aren't depressed sometimes, but they'd likely just ignore it. 4s would hyperfocus on it until it was the reason they couldn't leave the house. i've been depressed, but it didn't stop me from being cold and ambivalent and over-intellected. : it's important to find out. people are annoying when they're trying to be their wing. : my suggestion... : watch fight club. now THAT guy's an extreme 45. : isaac : : : I used to think I was a 5, then a 4, now a 5 again - with minor traits of 7 and 1. : : I never got along with anyone on the 4board that well, and never felt much in common with them. : : I used to think the reason why was because none of them were 'true' 4s, except me. : : But later I thought, maybe it's because they really are 4s and I'm the one who's not a 4, but instead a 5. : : And, then of course, thought that, what must have been the 3 wing - must really be the 7 'connection'. : : But, now what makes me doubt this - is my level of intelligence as compared to the other intelligent 5s here and elsewhere. It's not that great. Not that high. I flunked graduate school entrance exams. No M.D. career for me. : : And many times - I really *can't* "think" - I just - it's blocked - it's blank - : : So, my other question is, (which will hopefully provide insight to my first question of what type am I really) do fives 'blank'? Experience not-able-to-'think'-spells? : : My anti-depressant medication (parnate) worked great for my cerebral sharpness and concentration in my 20s. But at 30, 31, my brain has really 'stopped' thinking so much. Even off that med, and now on a new one, (Wellbutrin SR) - it's still not 'sharp' - like it once tused to be. (Although it has worked *wonders* in getting rid of all the excess, repressed pent-up internal aggression - as well as increased my patience.) : : I don't know. Maybe I'm 50% 4 and 50% 5. : : Any thoughts?
