Enneagram Main Board Archive Top 10 lists - type 4Posted by Derf on April 23, 1998 at 19:14:04: Top ten signs that you're QUITE likely a Four:
9. You say, regarding your picture, "Look at that big, fake, dumb smile I have" - and your friends don't seem to know what you're talking about 8. When you're on vacation with your family, and they're gabbing about historical markers, you're indulging in fantasies about the wonders of the forest, and the stars above the beach, and how the glow of the distant lights connects everything in spirit. 7. When you're fed up with how petty everyone is acting, you rush away from the crowd in the middle of the night to go hug a tree or something. 6. You decorate your room like a museum and put on fine music - not because it's merely pleasant (as most would guess), but because it gives your life a sense of mystique and grandeur, like a ray from heaven, and facilitates your flights of imagination. 5. On message boards and other forms of internet correspondence, you always use some fantastic nickname - never your real one (thanks, Hunter - though maybe I should have expected YOU to use this one instead). 4. You're so tired you can hardly stay awake, but you can't bring yourself to lie down on your bed until you've heard "just one more" great song on your favorite CD. 3. When someone regards you plainly, formally, with no affect whatsoever, your first mental reaction is "He/she must hate me." 2. You try to smile when you're feeling somber, and you try to keep a straight face when you're crying your eyes out. 1. You single out the most angst-ridden, alienated, and tragic collection of songs in your music library, and title it "The Soundtrack of My Life."
