Being productive, useful, and efficient isn't connected to 2. I don't know where you got that. Being a 2 is about being altruistic which may involve those things, but that is highly individualized.
I find it extremely unlikely for a 3w2 to confuse themselves as an 8. 3w2s want to be directly involved with others and impress others. 8s are nearly the opposite in that they see themselves as entirely independent and see little to no need to be involved with others, especially impress them.
3w4 are typically torn between wanting to look impressive while not being too 'showy.' They don't want to come off as trying to impress others in a direct way like the 3w2 does, and it may be closer to say that 3w4s want to impress themselves more than others. They are similar to 8s in that they tend to feel separate or even better than others. 8s however, don't feel the need to impress themselves.
