oh yeah i'm at home now and i know exactly what face you're talking about. that's the face i was talking about too. it's a face i often pull when someone randomly takes my picture idkw haha i guess it's me being all fierce haha joking style of course
ha. Okay, then it is ENFP animation. (It's always amazing to me...like such a great feeling...when you hear someone say 'I know exactly what your talking about!')
and i don't know much about how 4w3's are but my bf is 4w5 and we don't feel very similar in that way. i mean...if we were both 4's i think we'd feel it.
I have a male ENFP 4w3 friend that I've known since childhood...and wow, yah there's definitely a difference. I was actually trying to explain this to someone else and...I often become a bit tripped-up because if I'm not so careful I fear what I say comes across as offensive and I mean it in no such way...but that heart-triad... NFs in 2w3, 3, 4w3... there's definitely 'pretense' involved in the presentations of who they are...that we completely lack. Honestly, I don't fully understand it because they are so amazingly authentic...and yet that authenticity is funneled through a carefully crafted front or self. <--e7 doesn't have a moment to devote to that kind of stuff. I have so many things I want to think about...all I have time for is going with what I like...and assuming an attitude of...'hey man, love it or leave it.' I don't have the time to devote to earning friendship, admiration, whatever of anyone that isn't going to take me as is. There's 7 billion other human beings on the planet...have at them.
I snagged this quote from the enneagram institute's forum board because I think it does a really good job of highlighting a difference between 7w6 & 4w3 (or 7 & 4)...but since the quote makes use of the word 'Narcissism' I'm going to put this into a spoiler. I've grown weary of a particular 'boy' on the site that is constantly attempting to link 'Narcissism' to e7...in every way imaginable when he is so clearly not an e7...but rather heavily connected to the heart-triad and subsequently crafting some sort of e7 Narcissistic image for himself for reasons that, as an actual e7, exist outside my realm of understanding. Let's hope this individual misses this. My hopes are not high here...but I'll still hope all the same.
random quote from a person named skyboy (?) from somewhere in here...
If I were to make some adjustments to the above quote I would substitute the word 'entitlement' for what he/she attributed to e7 narcissism. I definitely believe we are of the opinion we are somehow entitled to a happy, full life. I think people miss the fact we believe everyone is entitled to have a happy, full life as long as no one is hurt in the process...but whatever. I do know I have some sense of entitlement somewhere in me. For the e4 I would maybe leave 'narcissism' or substitute in self-centeredness.

Narcissism of 7s is a strategy to justify strong appetites for life : since I'm great, I deserve to have and live a lot of what I want. In 4s, narcissism is more underground and like a vengeance : you're not better than me.

I've actually never taken this test before and I got... 7w8 9w8 4w5
