FOURTH ENNEAGRAM TYPE (Romantic) Explained: Career, Strengths and Weaknesses

This type is characterized by reserved and detached behavior in large groups. One might think that you are not interested in communication, and that you are an arrogant and superior person. In reality, the situation is quite the opposite.

Your uniqueness in everything – clothing, behavior, and air of mystery – intrigues and sparks curiosity. You are just afraid of being rejected, so you hesitate to take the first step.

Your enneagram type is often called “the Romantics”, or “the Individualists”. Standing out from the crowd and being different are the most important aspects of your life.

You have great style and taste, and your clothing helps you better express your inner state.

Perhaps you can be considered the most sensitive and sincere enneagram type. You need to be true to yourself. You cannot live without emotions. In search of the meaning of life, you compare yourself with others and their formulas for a happy life, which often do not apply to you. This leads to a constant search for self-discovery and analysis of your own feelings and experiences.

People of the fourth type often choose creative professions.

A quiet, peaceful life does not suit you; it can be depressing. You may look for ways to add some excitement to your life.

You pay attention to work quality and strive to achieve a decent result, but emotional satisfaction remains your top priority.

The fourths can be ashamed of their feelings. You believe that people notice all your flaws and mistakes. You may be hurt by the smallest and most insignificant comment. In such situations, your mood can change throughout the day.

You often compare yourself to those around you, and if you perceive that you are ahead, your self-esteem grows and your mood improves. However, if the comparison is not in your favor, you may feel depressed.

You can easily determine what you need for happiness, but this can cause emotional distress. Longing for the unattainable can become a powerful source of passion.

It is unbearable for people of your type to feel rejected by someone significant, and it makes you want to live up to their expectations. You may even lose yourself in the process of trying to please them. Subconsciously, this can lead to resentment and anger because you cannot truly be yourself.

However, if there are no issues with acceptance, your worries diminish, and you can focus on work or family.
