^ Agreed.Anger done correctly should sufficiently terrify people into fixing things... it should also only be brought down upon the deserving.
I have so many types of anger, but so few of them are seen from the outside, because type 1 / self-restraint. I think most people experience my anger as silent fuming, or brief but intense venting*, or, if I'm VERY angry, a blunt and pointed statement - cold, controlled, and furious. This is the card I use to end the fight and force things to change immediately, as in miss fortune's quote. (Weirdly I am known for this at the office.)
I also somewhat relate to OP's description of 4 and 2 anger. Because when my anger has nowhere to go, or I am to blame, it implodes and becomes extremely self-destructive. But that's also not something that people typically see.
*Typical e1 soapbox rant:
My housemate compared me to Oscar the Grouch a few weeks ago, due to the frequency of these small rants, and also because I'm the gruff dad friend who wants to make sure everyone knows how to be self-sufficient and get whatever things done they've been trying to avoid.
