does this seem accurate? do you feel it describes you well as a 3w4?
you know you're a 3w4 when, after some reflection, you've realized you went through life feeling rejected and abandoned by the world. a 4 would withdraw from the world and wallow in this sense of "ugly duckling syndrome", but not you, you are determined to you be a strong, successful individual and you will show the world that you really are worth something. that said, you couldn't care less about most of the world. they had their chance to accept you, and they blew it, the target audience of the grand, dramatic performance that is your life is more niche, a target audience who can appreciate your unique talents and support your personal path to success.
despite strength and determination that few can match, you remember the scars of childhood, feeling rejected and ridiculed has left in you a sympathy for things that might be considered ugly, scarred, repulsive or broken. depending on various factors (the strength of your wing, your MBTI type, your instinctual variant or various non type related factors) you may either choose to incorporate some of these things into your image or choose to hide them and guard your inner turmoil with lock and key (most 3w4s will do a little bit of both).
the 3's desire to appear strong, confident and unaffected contrasts sharply with the 4's desire for self expression, emotional intensity and "spilling their guts", which often leads to this type having a strong duality between their personal and career lives (hence, why they are often referred to as "The Professional"). at work, you probably wish to present a pristine, polished, confident, competent image that will command the respect of their peers and coworkers (and most would tell you you're quite good at it). sometimes, however, you feel like people just view you as robotic and two dimensional and forget that you have a heart and personal needs just like everyone else. hence, your ability to hide your true feelings and vulnerability often comes back to bite you in the ass as it often leads to people feeling pushed away by you, making forming deep, personal friendships somewhat difficult for you.
on the other hand, in your personal life, the ice melts somewhat (at least when alone and when around those whom you comfortable letting your hair down around). your hobbies might run more on the romantic/sensual side and the 4 influence can manifest itself via music (either listening or performing), a taste for romantic novels or anything that allows you to experience and/or express your emotions in a "safe" atmosphere where you know you will not be judged or rejected, at least not by those who are important to you.
