Expressive, introspective, unapologetically unique.
The Individualist holds a private sense of being different — not in a superior way, but in a way that refuses to be generalised. Fours feel deeply, notice nuance most people miss, and experience the distance between who they are and who they wish they were more acutely than other types. The art they make (literal or figurative) tends to carry that specific gravity.
