Enneagram Film Type Four
New - watch the whole clip from the film -To understand the type four personality watch this video of interviews.You'll be able to capture the moodiness of this personality, the yearnings, the tragedy, the roller coaster of emotions and the desire for style and uniqueness. Ah the drama! This is a lovely group who were willing to show the worst of themselves. Normally we try to hide our worst so I was fortunate that this wonderful group were happy to expose what it is like to have this personality type. In a world where we try to hide our faults and flaws and weaknesses I think it comes as a relief to share our funny foibles. Pretending to be perfect humans is exhausting and ridiculous. Sharing our peculiarities allows for laughter, compassion and freedom.
Director's NotesThe reason I've chosen water as the main theme running through the video is because the four personality type is wet - they're often teary and can look as if they've just been crying even when they haven't. The water also represents the flood of emotions this type experiences. I've included lightening and thunder because this type is dramatic.I am included in this clip. So don't despair if this type is you and you feel you'll never be free. After the initial horror of recognizing my type (and it wasn't a pretty sight) I've found it incredibly useful to understand my patterns. I'm so much more than my behaviors and because I can recognize them and see through them I have choice now whether to act them out or not. I can enjoy some of the behaviors, laugh at others and have total compassion if I discover I'm behaving like a four! Even better, was discovering that most of the personality is driven by the imagination. I had a sense of being somehow flawed and felt this had to be compensated for and most definitely hidden. But the flaws were only imaginary and I don't have to keep thinking there is something wrong with me. And of course, I DO HAVE some flaws - and these can be laughed at and shared. I don't have to fix everything to be happy and at peace.
