58. The Difference Between Enneagram Type 1 and Type 4

<p><em>&quot;Is it possible that your number changes over the years? I remember being a 1 like five or six years ago, and now I did the test just for fun and I&apos;m a 4 apparently (?)&quot;</em><br/><br/>This was such a great question I got over on Instagram the other day. While these two types on the surface may look very different, there are some very interesting similarities that do make this confusing sometimes. <br/><br/>Both are very idealistic, Ones have an ideal version of how the world &quot;should&quot; be and Fours have an idealistic version of themselves. And both deal with the specific feeling of frustration (along with Type 7s) when that ideal version isn&apos;t lived up to. <br/><br/>Most confusing though can be that when a One is in stress, they move to a Type Four, where they inner critic intensifies and they can slip into more depressed feelings. <br/><br/>And then a Four is in growth or feeling secure, it&apos;s Arrow is to a One, bringing the needed structure and routine to their ideals and creative projects. <br/><br/>Key differences covered in the episode include:<br/><br/>1) how they each make decisions <br/>2) their orientation to time <br/>3) how they get their needs met<br/>4) how they handle conflict <br/>5) handling the common good vs. personal desires <br/><br/>Was this helpful?
