If you were simply taught to suppress your anger than now it shouldn´t be a problem to do as you like. You call yourself „mom“, so I guess you don´t live with your parents anymore, right? If you can´t let go of your suppression, it´s because you subconsciously wanted yourself to suppress your anger.

I feel like this isn't the point I was trying to make. The point is that I think I would have been a "turbulent" if I would not have been squelched by my parents for showing my feelings. I was forced to suppress. It did not come naturally, and furthermore if I were a "supressive", as somebody suggested, then that would make me a five, which I am not. Since I am most likely a four, I am probably firstly a turbulent deep down inside, but that ruins the whole thing because I was trying to confirm that I was a four with the information in this thread, but that did not happen.

Though it is interesting to learn that I probably am a "turbulent" who likes to show their feelings.
This explains a lot of the faces I make, and why I like to be dramatic every so often,
and why I like to be wild and crazy at concerts.

I don´t think you´re a five either. Your previous post points to quite another type. Ones specifically suppress their anger, because they think it´s not okay to express it under normal circumstances. It´s important to do the “right“ thing, to be “good“. Though Ones will express their anger if they think it´s morally justified. For example, they can angrily denounce injustices. Political Ones often show a lot of their anger.

I used to think I was a one, but the description reminds me too much of the SJ type, and before I had kids, I was pretty wild anyway.
If you guys think that Russell site is pretty accurate, then I'm pretty sure I'm a four,
which would make me avoidant-turbulent.
