We call Type 4's "Shadow" elemental personalities. Shadows are unparalleled in their awareness of the mind. As such, they are empathetic and sympathetic. Some are said to sense or even feel the pain and emotions of those they care about. Shadows are expressive, artistic and focused on individuality, but are often consumed by powerful feelings. They sometimes come across as moody and sardonic, but it is a defense mechanism to protect them from taking too many emotions at once. Like Darkness, they are intriguing yet comforting. More than any other type, Shadows are creative and intuitive.
At Enneahouse, we can help Type 4's manage their powerful emotions and learn to find themselves in the chaos of the world.
