The Enneagram is a model of nine personality types that looks at the entirety of a human’s existence. Type 4s on the Enneagram are called The Individualist. At their healthiest, fours are creative and attracted to beauty. They seek inspiration in all aspects of life and are able to transform their experiences into a lesson. Above all, fours are driven by emotion and wear their feelings on their chest. To embody the spirit of a Type 4, this sock pattern features a simple sock in gorgeous colors, but the real standout is the ruffle on the cuff, designed to personify the natural inclination of a Type 4 towards extraordinary details.
