Dear Erica -thanks for your response on the question I had about the 4 -5.
Every test I take or retake always makes me a Four and I'm sure that is basically what I am, but I know I have a strong 5 wing. The most" 5 ish"
person I know is a young man-my closest friends son. He is very smart and into computers but he also is an avid reader of fantasy (Hobbit etc) and
writes poetry.
Your 2 list is interesting- I have lots of the 2 traits-it is 4's area of disinigration but interestingly I have a strong desire to be a person that people can depend on and I want to deeply care and do for people. But more in a quiet, mystic sort of way (This is what I want-not what I do much-I guess I'm saying I desire to be like the positive, healthy level of a 2 as well as the healthy 1.. I'm not a 2 BUT: my closest friends are still my old highschool friends and I do have a longing to be in contact or connected to all of the past people in my life (The 4's longing for the past??) But NO I don't like cleaming up after parties or being the "helper" in social things. I do complain because of lack of appreciation for what I do (but maybe that is a mother/wife thing) I do take care of lots of people but sometimes resent it and wish my loved ones were more independent!!

Thanks for the interesting list and your earlier response.
It would be nice to keep in contact as you mentioned especially since we share so much 4-5 ness.
Smiles! Kate
