The Romantic (the Four)

Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.

How to Get Along with Me

Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!

What I Like About Being a Four

my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
my ability to establish warm connections with people
admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
being unique and being seen as unique by others
having aesthetic sensibilities
being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me

What's Hard About Being a Four

experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
feeling guilty when I disappoint people
feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
expecting too much from myself and life
fearing being abandoned
obsessing over resentments
longing for what I don't have

Fours as Children Often

feel that they don't fit in
believe they are missing something that other people have
attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.

Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

Stand up for yourself... and me.
Be confident, strong, and direct.
Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
Give me space to be alone.
Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
being courageous, straightforward, and honest
getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
upholding just causes

overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
never forgetting injuries or injustices
putting too much pressure on myself
getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right

Eights as Children Often

are sometimes loners
seize control so they won't be controlled
fugure out others' weaknesses

take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

Eights as Parents

are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
are sometimes overprotective
can be demanding, controlling, and rigid


Test is wrong, i thought i was a lot more sneaky than that.

"expecting too much from myself and life"
That sums me up without having to take the test :p

I got a tie between 5 and 6 but 5 prob works the best. Not that i believe anyone can be categorized.

Exactly. I think people are more complex than that. Also, people change, grow, are shaped by experience.

I like a test though And the outcome is very accurate I think, although it might be accurate in an astrology type way

i used to take a lot of these tests and i've been everything from a psychopath to a druid.
i like those ones at cia.gov, although they seem a little intrusive and having to tell them who all your friends are and your favorite websites seemed weird.
long story short, i'm a lemur.

astrology...don't you just love that crap...
I've had people tell me: you must be scorpio, libra, capricorn, blah blah... They have to guess all 12 (13) zodiacs before they get to mine! Accurate, that is

Thats i a daft test

q38 detached and preoccupied.
moody and self-absorbed.

so if you are neither detached and preoccupied or moody and self absorbed ......there is no 'option for you'
