Abstract
We show that every 4-plump razor-sharp normal Tits quadrangle X is uniquely determined by a non-degenerate quadratic space whose Witt index m is at least 2. If this Witt index is finite, then X is the Tits quadrangle arising from the corresponding building of type B_m or D_m by a standard construction.
