When you think that you're an analytical, intellectual person, but you're really an emotional person at heart.

When you have the ability to rationally dissect your feelings into little pieces.

exactly. too bad many would think this is impossible ... and in itself it would be a difficult thing to PROVE to someone
 
When you respond to the concept of aesthetic (4) minimalism (5).

And this is random but here's the sometimes stark difference between 4w3 and 4w5 in a nutshell, illustrated by two members of the New York band Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

You know you're a 4w5 when you feel lonely among the 4w5s...
I wish there were more 4w5 around (or simply 4's) as I feel I live in a 4-deprived area.
I think that being with 4w5 and 5's makes me feel connected (usually).
On the contrary, I can be fun and chatty with other types (2's 3's 7's 9's....) but then I DO feel lonely.

Any one care to comment on this issue?

I am an extremely analytical and intellectual person, and a very emotional person too. Which leads to being labelled as 5 in most tests when I am such a 4 (the good and bad included). I am also an INTJ and colleagues and students mostly see the INTJ behaviour (analytical and intellectual, very data driven) and are really baffled when they discover my inner 4, or the artistic creation, filled with pathos.

Apparently INTJ and 4 is not really compatible (and I know that I am not compatible with myself ;-)) and I am wondering if the analytical side is more INTJ related (MBTI) rather than wing 5.
 
You know you're a 4w5 when you find more mistyped 4s in the forums than actual 4s.
Do you have some examples?
I've often seen people mistyping themselves as 7 (which has a funny and attractive aura), or 8 or 5, but never as 4 (usually described negatively in the books wirtten by amerincan non fours)

Maybe some people want to be labelled as creative and artistic, and they try to look four?
