Elfinchilde is a poet. And a very good one. She is a clear cut INTP.

Most gifted poets are INTPs. In the Enneagram they come out as 4s.
It is interesting. So rare.

It is a different thing with the painters, though.
Take Raincrow. She is very gifted as well.
I remember she is a 5w4. Not sure.

She's on INTPc now, and still on the Pudding, of course.

I'm not. I'm an INTJ.
There are a couple of INTJ 4's here.

Can somebody explain this?

I carefully studied this page for about 2 hours:
The Enneagram Type Test
And though I related to a few of them, four was the strongest and explained a lot about youth.

Also at the bottom of this page:
Type Correlations
there is a type correlation chart, if anyone is interested.

I once scored as an enneagram 4 when i was really depressed and have negtive thoughts.
I think anyone can have type 4 moments when life is not going well.

I'm an INTP 4.

Interesting. I've seen few INFPs that type themselves as type 6 on the Internet, compared to those that type as 4 or 9. Interesting that the different researchers achieve different conclusions...
