I love what she said about the intensity of joy. As a 4, I feel I get typecast as this constantly melancholy person. But I feel I laugh harder and can be sillier than any 7 I know.

[Chameleam]

I like her.

Shes a positive 4, I can relate to what shes saying because Im a 4 as well...but she seems to be a little more on the positive side whereas Im more withdrawn.
