Fours have such a flair for the dramatic and theatrical, that they can be the central characters in their own melodramas. They are often referred to as drama kings and queens. They are the Toulouse La Trecs, the Judy Garlands and the Vincent Van Goghs—feeling uniquely special, yet tragically flawed. Aesthetic, creative and original with refined tastes, they can appear either melancholy or exuberant and upbeat.

Fours look deeply into their own interior seeking for a way to express the intense emotional highs and lows they experience. Romantic, sensitive, intuitive, and introspective, they can also be self-absorbed, moody and temperamental. Fours value people who are genuine and who interact without pretense.

Feeling different, feeling like outsiders, and feeling that no one really understands them, fours amplify the feelings associated with their fantasies because life seems more meaningful that way. As a consequence, they can become self-indulgent, melancholic, alienated and depressed.

People are often attracted to Fours because of their warmth, depth, creativity, ability to feel so keenly, and their uniqueness and emotional honesty. In relationships they are passionate, witty and bond easily. At their best they are self-aware, regenerating, profoundly creative in ways that touch others by their expression of the universal human experience.
