It's "hip" because it's depressed/morose/bleak, i.e.- post-Apocalyptic cynicism.....but the emperor has no clothes on. The emotional architecture is some of the flattest I've ever heard. Imagine a room with no windows or doors...with the walls, floor and ceiling covered in beige sandpaper.

I hope, for everyone's sake, that the lyrics are incredible.....

mmmm about as much flavor as a tortilla.



Faultyideal- i think you need to further examine what 4 means, you see to be falling into the trap of believing that anything expressing strong, dark feelings, loss or pain means someone is a 4.

One time as a kid I was sitting in a park feeding some birds a little of my sandwich. Then the pigeon mafia appeared, pushed away my little birdie friends, and proceeded to demand the rest of my pee bee and jay.

I do believe I know what 4 means. I just find it strange that people who don't really know much about someone, or hate his music, want to type him. All types express strong feelings and loss or pain in their own ways, some more obliquely. I just believe that someone who I listen to is a 4 because of what he writes, how he has approached life, and how he acts.

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting, '13....13....13.' The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on. Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick! Then they all started shouting '14....14....14…....

True that. It took me a long time to realize that expecting others to live up to my ideals -- or standards, a word I prefer better -- is a waste of time, and the best thing to do is to attempt to live up to my own standards the best I can -- they're my standards, no one else's. When I inevitably fall short of the standards I set, I just learn from the mistakes I made and let them go, and then try harder the next time.

As a 9 looking at the Ashton Kutcher video,I'd say that yeah, he's a 9. Self-effacing, having a real sense of humor about himself and this whole "Sexiest Man Alone" thing; and look at his shirt! An Everyman kind of shirt. Nothing that shouts, "I'm unique, an Individual!" He seems completely unselfconscious, like "I'm not a big deal", again, having a sense of humor about all the hoopla of his being a star and all that. He seems really...SWEET. :-)

I'm not so sure she's a 4. I do believe she's a sexual, but haven't settled on a type. She could be a 7.

Hmmm I guess the reason I think she might be a 4w5 or a 5w4...she is very analytical and yet very creative(not that creativity is only a 4's type of persona...) yet she seems healthy as in she creates from things on the outside of her emotions rather then from inside of herself.

3w4..though in dfgrays world she is a four, so most likely he will argue.

4w3 sx for Tori Amos works for me. 3w4 I don't see. If she were a Three, surely she would haved adhered to the system when younger. I think Seven is more likely than Three, but 4w3 would be my vote.

I can buy that for Tori. Though I can also see her as a 2w3 sx/so. Definitely sx-first, and in the heart triad.
There's something about her music that just isn't all that Fourish to me, though I couldn't tell you what it was just off the top of my head. And I'd have to go back over all the crap I'd read about her.

With Tori, I have trouble feeling right calling her a Four because she doesn't seem particularly caught up on defining herself. She doesn't seem to have an ego investment in being unique, she just is unique. (Could be the sign of a healthy Four, but I don't see any accompanying 1-ish traits. I think she's a Two who has at least risen to level 3 of health.) Through her music, I get the feeling that she struggles much more with the perception of her own moral character, and her own desires. Her songs are 'children' that she nurtures, many of them tales of extreme sacrifice and the love object's inability to reciprocate her gifts and affection. She's written so many songs of giving up her home, friends, dignity, whatever....to influence soemone's love. And her rage is a result of her own inability to let these attachments go when the loved one doesn't return it, or even insults or demeans her. "Precious Things" is a good example.

And then there are these songs of what seem to me blatant 2-ish hostility. Like 'The Waitress':
"So I want to kill this waitress
She's worked here a year longer than I
If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness

But I believe in peace
I believe in peace b*tch"

"Yes, Anastasia" is one of my favorite songs, one where I think she disintegrates to 8.

In a strangely beautiful way, I might add :)
It really does seem like she's speaking for someone else with her own voice sometimes. Obviously I romanticize this woman a lot.

Then you also go with to the whole Madonna is a 7 thing? She has far more in common with Madonna than Sarah Mclauchlin. ALot of 4w3s around here relate to her. I just disagree.
