10 Signs You Might Be An Enneagram Type 4

Im an Enneagram tritype 594. 5w4 INTP. This, is true, very true.

I love your admiration for 4s even though you aren’t one! (Most of the 4s content out there is created by other 4s, and errs on the side of being self-deprecating, and as a result can be discouraging.) I love your outside perspective. Your appreciation is so genuine, and it’s made me appreciate my own type, just seeing it though your eyes. This was so insightful and SO relatable. Thank you for your work!

It’s almost like you’ve met me

This sounds like an INFJ as well. I know a lot of INFJs are 4s.

Your voice is so calming, you're like my purring cat. I relax so much. 9s are so cute

I sometimes get memories about the past, but it is like I recoil from it. I have always been different from everyone else but I also want to belong while being myself. I do love deep long conversations for sure. I do want to feel feelings but I feel uncomfortable with my anger. I can express myself through my clothing if I so desire. I also dislike fake, superficial people but I realize sometimes you have to kind of put of a happy face. I like impressing people with my art. People do open up to me sometimes. Yes I used to romanticize in high school, but not so much anymore. I do need to feel inspired that is true.

So helpful. This is totally me!

This is about me too 😭 so who am I? 4 and 7 are fully about me

1) yes
2) yes
3) yes
4) yes
5) yes
6) YES!!!
7) YES!!!
8) yes
9) YES!!!
10) YES!!!!

4W5

Awesome 😊

Lol I'm definitely a 4

I love talkin about the weather.. on other planets 😄

Say, did you hear about the swarm of fire tornadoes that hit albex fives northern city last night?

I’ve taken a couple tests and got a 4 as a result. Any advice? Haha

I love the darker background in this video. Fits four well and I really like it.

I'm baffled to find my type, perhaps due to my lack of self insights....I focused on core desires thus fears. I related to a 8w7 but on occasions see myself as 1w9, how could I make an determination between the two? latest test I've gotten 5w6, I researched which enneagrams disentegrate towards 5w6 then 8w9 came along however I dont see myself as of it at all, i could guarantee I fell into the head triad and are any gut triads capable of heading towards it with ovethtinking, anxiety?

Hey the last point is very accurate 🙂 and I'm an intp 4w5.... previously mistyped as a 5w4

Can you make a detailed video about the differences of 5 and 9? It's easy to differentiate these two when you met both in real life but it's very hard to decide which one is your own type.

Good video, thanks

i think about the past all the time. sometimes i romanticize, sometimes i hate the past.

Dear 4s: I love you all ❤️ - 9w1 🤗

Man I never enjoyed an enneagram video like this the way you talk makes me really comfortable I could watch it all day in repeat😔💟🤍

This is mine 4w5. Now let’s go through all the other ones.

My daughter is a 4, one thing always confuses me though. She definitely wants to be unique but she wants the approval of others too. Is there a subtype or something that would explain this?

I'm still stuck between type 6 and type 4 😓

This is great information. Thank you for sharing!

This sounds similar to an empath. I find this interesting. I need to find out more about this topic, as I am an empath.

ohh how I feel this vid in my bones! Literally every sign here is spot.on. There's some lyrics from a Michelle Branch song that I feel became my anthem ever since I heard them on the radio: "I'm riding the hiding, digging the lows, 'cuz at least I feel alive." still love them. When I first discovered Enneagram tests, then being type 4, it all eventually lead to an autism diagnosis lol.
And noo, I am not saying or suggesting this is every type 4, because even so I believe we're all wonderfully different. This has solely been my experience.
It was just so validating to finally understand why I'm..,me. I've yet to ever meet another Type 4, unfortunately. Outside forces and circumstances have already made things lonely, so the hard relatable truth of always wondering if I'll meet someone who understands hurts and is frustrating, tbh ._.

This is where I have to drop the all-mighty and powerful 5 and just be honest: Having a predominant 4 wing so gets me in trouble. Often.

It is the core of my INFJ fuel as well (or the S in my CS profile on DiSC). The problem is that it feeds into my 5's Avarice of knowledge. Psychology and seeing how people function is the ultimate knowledge and it is my "precious," especially when I started getting real with myself and started working on my own personal traumas. The 4 is certainly me as the black metal kid in high school who knew everyone on campus and fluttered around like a demonic butterfly, but also kept people away from me as much as I could because of my own pain.

Still, it is good to be the one who can sit in all of that emotional baggage and get the awkward stares and comments on how painful it must be. We are emotional creatures who feel first and think afterward, there is no change in that. It is a power to be able to notice it and accept the feeling without having to rationalize the feeling with all the cold and calculating thoughts.

One day I'll---

(microphone screeeches, a struggle can be heard followed by someone crying out in shock)

No, no! Bad Wing 4. Bad! No one told you that you could tell anyone about the emotions and passions we must bury deep inside.

(smacking wing 4 with a rolled up newspaper)

You go back to your hole and think about what you've done to embarrass me... Embarrass us.

(a deep, defeated sigh)

Man. I just cleaned up all these emotions out of this rational facility just a few days ago. Fine, I'll go get a mop and the fragrence spray.

I thought I was a 7 but I am now very sure I am a 4. This was an amazing video thank you!

After two years of confusion about my type now I can say I'm 100% type 4 thanks to you😍😍

Yaaayy new video 😍😍

BTW Hillary, you look really pretty in this vid.

‘Fake fitting in’ — YUP!!!

I do love showing off my unique style and hearing people complimenting it. It sounds shallow. Growing up poor, I didn't have the funds to look decent and dress up how I wanted to (restricted religion dressing rules), and I was bullied for wearing hand me downs that didn't fit.

11: - With everything in your life - You either love or hate it! Because we have those strong feelings😅 I often catch myself switch between feelings of hatred and love, but i’m also a sx subtype - It’s hard but I’m trying to be more gentle and patient with people in my life❤️

Yep, I’m a 4. All of these make sense for me. I almost laughed when you mentioned having to feel inspired to do certain things, because that is so true for me. If I had a quarter for every time I put off a mundane task because I didn’t feel “inspired” to do it, I’d be rich 😂

I think she is mixing some of these with six. 4 and 6 can sometimes be mistaken for each other.

Reinforcing all the reasons I resonate with being a 4w5 🙃

Wow! That was a great video! 💙

So cool! Hugs, Hillary! 🤗❤️
