In some cases, they have been identified as being melancholy. And so that's a trait that is often attributed to force melancholy. fours are very expressive. they pursue a sense of authentic identity, and they tend to be deep thinkers. So in the ancient cultures, fours, could be shamans and they could also be priests and priestesses, and they also tended to be wise men and wise women.

And that means that they might be at the top of their field in any artistic pursuit. But it doesn't necessarily have to be artistic. They might be a teacher, they might be a business person, they might be in any kind of field, and they do it with creativity, flair and inspiration.

And they tend to have that characteristic in their work ethic and in their style. at their worst fours can be self destructive, emotionally tormented and alienated.

They want to express their emotions and artistic talents and connect with other people on that level. fours also feel that they are unique and different and don't fit in with a particular group. So That can be a strength because they tend to be what might one might call the Misfits, the rebels, the Bohemians, the people that Jesus supposedly associated with in the New Testament, the downside is that they may find that they're a square peg in a round hole anywhere they go.

And so that can be a downside as well. Sometimes people may think they're snobs, even if they're not just because they're kind of sometimes they keep to themselves, or they hang out with other people that are kindred spirits that are more like them. For sphere having no identity or personal significance. That's their deepest fear. And they often want or need significant personal space and time to reflect and work through their emotions.

And if they don't do that, that can deplete them and so they have to go away for a while in order to do that. So if you have For who's a friend or family member, give them their time and their space because they really appreciate that and that can make a difference. That's how they thrive. So identifying force how they interact with others. force can be very insightful in their conversations regarding the motives of others, you'll find that they're very intuitive, very in tune with those kinds of things.

Ask them about their emotional health, ask them what they're finding meaning and significance in in their life, how they look and act. So if you have a family member, a friend, a colleague, or an acquaintance, who's a four, how can you identify them as a four keep in mind that people can have these traits and not be a four, but this is what to look for in order to to identify one force can have a sad look. Sometimes in their eyes, they often dress with flair, good taste and diverse styles. They may have one particular style or they may be one of those people where one day they're wearing bell bottoms and tie dyed shirt in their hairs down and another day they may come in wearing a tight business suit and the cutting edge of business style.

So they can also be very diverse in their tastes within one person.

A facade is a front that covers up something and isn't real. And so being authentic and real with a four is appreciated if you're just honest with a four in a kindly way, they will respect you because fours cannot stand phony people. They appreciate people who are authentic, honest and real. Even if they're not like them. They appreciate that quality and other people. showing empathy and compassion towards a for who might be experiencing emotional pain is another thing that you can do.

Validate how they're feeling that doesn't mean you have to enable them feeling sorry for themselves, but be a listening ear and that can really mean a lot. Lot and maybe giving them some kindly advice on how to get back on track without being judgmental could be helpful to a four who trusts you. If a four shows anger towards you, in a moment of emotion continue to show them love and support. Sometimes force can fly off the handle and lose their temper tend to be emotional and temperamental.

But sometimes that's in a heated moment of anger or frustration.

If you don't feel comfortable talking about really personal relationships, you can still talk about things in life that don't necessarily connect with politics, religion or personal relationships, maybe philosophy, or human intuition and emotions and psychology could be good conversation starters with a four that you don't know well show them appreciation and that you notice their strong instincts and intuition. They love being appreciated. For their talents and intuition, also let them know that they are important and significant to you, and that you care about how they feel.

And so if you can show them that they are important, and they mean something to you and that you care about how they feel that makes a for build a strong trust links trusting relationship with you. Gently steer fours from self pity when they are feeling down, don't chastise judge or dismiss them. That's the last thing you want to do with a four when they're feeling that way. That doesn't mean you need to enable them feeling sorry for themselves, though. Encourage them to steer their focus to more positive things, but do it in a way that's genuinely empathetic towards what they're feeling. their feelings are real to them.

And so treat them as such and then you can also steer them towards a more positive and productive mindset. And so that's the end of the four. We'll be moving on to personality type five next. So I'll see you in the next slide show.
