The Individualist.
This is the label applied to people who receive personality type Four on the Enneagram assessment. I am one of those people. Characterized as highly creative, imaginative, and sensitive, Type Fours are known as the artists and emotional feelers of the nine Enneagram personalities.

Type Fours like myself are guided primarily by our intuition and creative drive, as opposed to the judicious and pragmatic natures of other Enneagram types, such as Type Three (The Achiever). While not the most practically minded, Fours, at their best, are authentic and vibrant creators who can offer a fair spot of beauty to the world around them.
Unhealthy Fours, however, are often afflicted with intense self-loathing, self-doubt, and the overwhelming belief that others do not (and cannot) understand them. Immature Fours are also typically self-absorbed. These are the ugly heads that rear up often in my life as an under-developed Four emotionally and spiritually.
My Tendencies/Flaws as an Unhealthy Type Four:
Self-absorption
Impatience
Vanity
Daydreaming
Need for attention/approval
Envy
