Instead of looking specifically at the characteristics of the type, try looking at the *weaknesses* of the type, and see which ones seem to fit you better.

I never felt more like my type until I started reading about what happens when a 9 feels pressured, or is under stress, at which point it was as if someone was reading my mail.

I always felt more a 4 than a 1, but felt I had alot of 1 characteristics. A friend who is much more infomed on enneagrams said I was definitely a 1. They say that a one manifests as a 4 when under stress (I think that is the direction).

So just think that in some areas I am a 4 and others a 1. I never fit into neat categories anyway.

Forget the tests. What do you feel? What have you observed about your inner motivations? How much time do you spend evaluating, judging and what amount of time do you spend feeling morose and left out and self ansorbed? Those may be generalizations, but hopefully they might point you to some rich inner discoveries.

Do you have never ending self-critical chatter in your head? Y-more 1, 4 seem to be more outwardly emotional and dramatic, they do have perfectionistic qualities but in the 1 they are more outwardly visible. 1's are very neat & organized, 4 experience more envy and jealousy wanting to be like others, 1 tend to think everyone should be like/think the way they do and everything would be fine. And don't laugh.....but what's your hair like? One's tend to have neat, well grooomed hair usually short or a bob. Look at the wings, and the disintegration points for each and see what feels right.
The only decent test is the long one by Riso/Hudson 144 questions, you have to buy the book.

Sandra Maitri's Enneagram book , The Spiritual Diminsion of the Enneagram I feel is the best....it has very good description of the 4. and like everyone else said when you read the types, the one that causes you to have a physical/emotional reaction...Bingo
