    Default Enneagram Type 8 appreciation thread

    You make me really mad. You're the most unlovable of all enneagram types, and nobody likes you, because you're asocial bastards. Even your family and your "friends" don't like you, and you can't like anybody either, because you're the asshole of the whole mankind.

    I feel sorry for you like fuckshit, so I started this appreciation thread.

    ...if however there are people who actually appreciate you...

    I wonder why people have such a hard time seeing me as E8 : /

    I am married to an 8w7.

    There are parts to the man that I find incredible.
    He is an amazing marksman.
    I love how he can take control of a situation without having to think about it first.
    He garners respect because he is respectful and powerful at the same time.
    He is fun.
    He is full of adventure.
    He takes care of the 'head in the clouds' me.
    He is a perfectionist when it comes to repairing things or remodeling etc.
    He works like a dog and never complains.
    He cracks me up how Speedway Gas Stations are an ideal place to eat in his mind.

    Flip side....

    Cheater.
    Pounds around the house (stomping and slamming) when he is upset/mad.
    Behavior police to others 24/7.....(Law Enforcement in real life too)
    Narrow vision of the world is just fine in his opinion.
    Jumps to conclusions.

    I'm an 8w9, I'll give you my prose on pros and cons


    PROs
    - Extremely loyal to inner circle of friends, (never cheated)
    - Very willing to give time, energy, and resources to those it considers close to, or things that seem very worthy
    - Very sexual + physical
    - Enjoys seeing those he cares about succeed, be happy, and feel safe
    - Stylish and aesthetic
    - Take-charge
    - When not in the negative states described below, self-assured and calm. A rock other people can depend on.
    - Does not mind responsibility or working hard provided there is some positive benefit to it.
    - Very much likes putting effort into things in order to get a high quality result (work, relationships, intimacy, hobbies, areas of interest, etc).
    - Will always look for the truth, regardless of the implications of the truth - positive, negative, happy, unappealing - it doesn't matter. Fixation on truth. Sniffs out secrets, hidden ideas, tests loyalties and principles to examine and size up people, a good interrogator.
    - Always looks at hard questions, not afraid to ask or be asked them. Not one to shy away from the truth *
    - At best positively encourages, helps, and challenges other to become better and try harder at whatever they do. Enjoys leading, working together with others, and achieving worthy goals. When very healthy, magnanimous.




    CONs
    - Lusty, and possibly becoming lazy when too focused on lust and self indulgence. When very unhealthy, extremely lusty and opportunistic.
    - Ethically problematic in terms of confusion and seeing a lack of relevance (but never cheated)
    - When in states of lust or ethical confusion, needs to be around people with a strong moral center to calm and help direct things. Lack of such a person can result in problematic, dangerous, and negligent or self-centered behavior
    - General insensitivity to other people, at times
    - When relationship stability with inner circle members are threatened or in flux, can become paranoid or aggressive
    - Even when healthy can step on people's toes without much realizing it.
    - Dislikes subordinate positions in just about anything. Always giving advice on how things should be done, whether it is desired or not.
    - Can be relentless in pursuit of the truth and interrogation tactics may lead to unpleasant levels of interaction with other people. Sometimes will not stop until someone submits, fully, or becomes enraged and extremely irritated. Ambivalent to the impact this has on relationships. Can be extremely cold at times.
    - * While not one to look away from the truth, can be extremely arrogant and prideful in terms of its acceptance. Can be in situations where "I know this is the case, but...." the interpretation of things is skewed. This can be particularly problematic if other above negative situations are present. For the truth is still sought after, but personal convictions. This can spiral into really bad situations, primarily because the individual is so bent on the self image of "I seek the truth, I am tough, I deal with it", when, in reality, there is avoidance of the truth.
    - General lack of concern for how things appear "to the public"; dislikes playing popularity contests, extremely so.


    Finally, what my signature says is also relevant, for better or worse.

    But they don't seem to describe very much UDP, at least from what I know about him on the forum.

    Okay, I can't tell what UDP is like apart from how he describes himself. I still think the listing describes a leading Eight.

    We have to be cautious with the hypothesis of UDP being Eight because LSE Eights are unfrequent.

    Statistically, LSE's are more likely E6 than E8.


    Besides, I think you may be an Eight, because of your stubborn denial.

    If you agree that the list describes an E8 and only meant to say that UDP is not like that himself, then I misunderstood your point.

    I disagree but I have no proof.

    That doesn't suffice to make you an Eight, and I am not an Eight. I am a self-preserving 5w4, but I have some traits that are similar to E1s and some others that are similar to those of E8s, for example that I can be confrontational in some situtations. My natural temperament is IP, so I also share some traits with E9. I am least of all an E2 or E3.

    E6 makes no sense at all for me, nor any other LSEs I know. What statistics are you talking about?
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    ~a certain mysterious power that may prove terribly fascinating to the extraverted man, for it touches his unconscious.

    Informal statistics that tells you that LSE-6 is easier to find than LSE-8.

    You think you're always right. Nines don't. Eights do.

    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    Nobody can know what your IM type is, because you are stupid

    Informal statistics means your experience of finding some combinations less frequent and others more frequent.

    You're not an Eight, but a Ten.

    So, "your (own) experience", ok.
    That's what I thought.

    Of course it does. Anyone would respect someone like that. That's because someone like that is practically impossible to dislike or respect or admire. UDP has spent along time carefully concocting this idyllic mixture of 8w9 and LSE, which is so fucking unlikely; such a rareity, that he believes he's one of the most special people on the planet.

    I have entertained that concept before. Alas, I still see One. I think he misinterprets himself massively. Notice how he'll constantly be going on about morals and shit. No Eight would go on about that as much as he does. He's trying to fit into LSE as much as possible, because he's afraid of sounding like a Fe/Ti type. He's afraid that people will work out that he doesn't give a flying fuck about Fi.

    Absolutely. For once in your life, you are completely correct (except grammatically).

    Maybe he's not an LSE. Maybe he's neither an Eight or an LSE.

    Besides, I think you may be an Eight, because of your stubborn denial.
    Are you taking the piss? You really think that if someone is stubbornly in denial, that this is the criterion for one's being an Eight? Come off it, machintruc.

    His self-image is that of an Eight. I don't care which type he is, as long as his self-image is consistent with how he describes his own behaviour and the type he thinks that he is.

    Absolutely. For once in your life, you are completely correct (except grammatically).
    Sorry about two of the three (')s.

    I love how he can take control of a situation without having to think about it first.
    He garners respect because he is respectful and powerful at the same time.
    He is fun.
    He is full of adventure.
    He takes care of the 'head in the clouds' me.
    He is a perfectionist when it comes to repairing things or remodeling etc.
    He works like a dog and never complains.
    He cracks me up how Speedway Gas Stations are an ideal place to eat in his mind.

    Sounds like me, except for the bad things, I hope . And I don't cheat.

    In all honesty, I am probably more boring than fun.

    Hmm. Why would you respect that person? Seems to have the same number of pros and cons as anyone else. Yes, supervisor.

    For these points:

    - Take-charge
    - When not in the negative states described below, self-assured and calm. A rock other people can depend on.
    - Very much likes putting effort into things in order to get a high quality result (work, relationships, intimacy, hobbies, areas of interest, etc).
    - Will always look for the truth, regardless of the implications of the truth - positive, negative, happy, unappealing - it doesn't matter. Fixation on truth. Sniffs out secrets, hidden ideas, tests loyalties and principles to examine and size up people, a good interrogator.
    - Always looks at hard questions, not afraid to ask or be asked them. Not one to shy away from the truth *
    - At best positively encourages, helps, and challenges other to become better and try harder at whatever they do. Enjoys leading, working together with others, and achieving worthy goals. When very healthy, magnanimous.

    This is funny because it shows you're far less concerned with the truth than you are with logical consistency. That is where you and I differ. I want the truth out there, you want logical consistency. I can dig logical consistency. Can you dig the truth?

    Sorry about two of the three (')s.

    You're boring. And that wasn't just an insult. It was objectified. You truly bore the shit out of everyone. I'm the only person who takes sympathy on your systematisation of the world, because, all in all, I understand how you operate, and I understand that you totally miss the point.

    Are you nuts? It is exactly because I am concerned with the truth that I don't have a strong opinion on UDP's type. Why should I have an opinion on his type when the only thing that is relevant is his correct type? I simply have to accept his self-typing as long as it makes sense, that is, as long as it is not contradictory. And so should you.
