Apparently when 4s "integrate," or grow healthier, we begin to look more like 1s, becoming more objective and principled. I feel like we also get more organized and start setting higher standards for ourselves. So my question is how has this phenomenon manifested itself in your actions and thoughts as you've grown as a person? Also, I honestly don't know much about this topic but am interested, so if anyone has more knowledge about this, please share 
Personally, I think that when I'm at my healthier stages, I gain more and more self-confidence the more that I achieve until I start setting my goals high and even feel motivated by being productive. I start controlling more of my life, both in positive and negative ways (example: creating a somewhat..haha structured schedule to avoid procrastination vs. setting higher standards for how little sleep I should be able to run on or how low my caloric intake should be). I start to place more importance on following the rules, too, and on conforming to expectations of me. I also shift from a more lethargic, depressed, head-in-the-clouds state to a more active, anxious, type-A state. I'm anxious when I'm in my slower, more depressed, more typical states, too, but it's more of an overanalytical anxiety as opposed to anxiety over getting things done...
