Type Four: TheĀ Individualist

Type 4s are introspective, creative, and deeply in touch with their emotions. They value authenticity and often feel a need to express their unique identity, which sets them apart from others.

They are sensitive to beauty and tend to explore the deeper, often darker aspects of life. Connection to their inner world is important to them, and they often have a strong desire to be understood and appreciated for their uniqueness.
