| | 4 - Enneagram Type Four: The Individualist -Overview |
| | Fours can be inspired only if they have first transcended themselves, something which is extremely threatening to their self-awareness. | | | The constant conflict we see in Fours is between their need to be aware of themselves, so they can find themselves, and, at the same time, their need to move beyond self-awareness, so they will not be trapped in self-consciousness. | | | Unhealthy Fours are so completely alienated from others, and ironically, even from themselves, that they despair of ever finding a way out of their excruciating self-consciousness. |

| | Paul Wertico: Creative Fours |
| | However, after first learning some of the more traditional and musical approaches to exchanging fours - such as playing things that open up a musical dialogue with whomever they're exchanging fours, or playing something that relates to the melody - their playing begins to "open up". | | | The concept of trading fours is a time-honored tradition in jazz. | | | This will help later when you try playing these kinds of fours with a band. |

| | The Self-Preservation Four |
| | To avoid the ordinary, Self-Preservation Fours take reckless chances, are drawn to the bizarre, even death, and see their lives as catastrophes. | | | Fours naturally have the widest and deepest range of emotions anyway, so when the situation calls for it, they can access depths nobody dreamed they had. | | | Emotionally that means that fours see themselves as defective. |

| | SoundStage! Equipment Review - Proac Response Four Loudspeakers (09/1998) |
| | Because the Response Fours have been the centerpiece of my system for over two years, they have played along with a ton of other equipment -- literally, I bet. | | | The Response Fours are very expensive -- and very big, which means they deserve a big room -- but if you can swing the ultimate cost, you should hear them set up properly and playing any disc that I can think of. | | | Wayne Kramer’s loud The Hard Stuff [Epitaph 86447-2] is a quintessential bad recording, but the Response Fours resurrect it, not by glossing over the hard treble and thin midrange, but rather by making these less of a going concern. |

| | Question Corner -- The Four Fours Problem |
| | One way is to allow the square root symbol, so that you can take square roots without using up any additional fours (instead of having to raise something to the power of 4/(4+4) which is how you'd have to do it under the original rules). | | | I would like to know if you know the answer to the four number problem that mathematicians have done in previous years and all mathematicians know of. | | | In its most basic form, the puzzle is to combine four copies of the number 4, through the basic operations of negation, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation, to come up with different integers. |

| | Petits fours is written in French with an "s" on the word "petit" because fours is a pural, male noun so the describing adjective must also be pural and male. | | | To me, "petits fours" has been incorporated into the English language and "mignardises" has not. | | | I recall learning in pastry chef school that petits fours were small cookies made at the end of the day when the ovens had cooled and the heat was "petit" (this actually doesnt make much sense because most petits fours -- meringues aside -- are baked in a hot oven). |

| | The Definitive Four Fours Answer Key (by David A. Wheeler) |
| | Note that there are many variations in the rules (e.g., some allow fewer than four fours, or different operations). | | | I call it the ``definitive'' answer key, because at the time of this writing it has more answers than anybody else for the ``four fours'' problem. | | | The goal of the four fours problem is to find a mathematical expression for every integer from 0 to some maximum positive integer, using only common mathematical symbols and exactly four fours (no other digits are allowed). |
