i've been typed as a four since 1996 and always felt very comfortable with that type -- it 'fits'. a lot of people mistype themselves or are mistyped as fours, but i'm confident that i am, indeed, a special snowflake. having said that, i'm stumped when it comes to the subtypes. i don't know if that means i'm some sort of uber-four with extra!
