I have too much Te to be an Fi dom and I use Ne. I can see how I don't fit the stereotypical ENFP image though.
as for 9w8, I am definitely not that
- I'm core Id, not Ego
- 9s are go with the flow and "go along to get along". I am not like this at all. I have a heavy 1 fix and when I see something wrong, you will hear about it (granted, I don't constantly complain about everything, and I have learned with time how to criticize in a funny way rather than being frequently contemptuous, but my natural tendencies are really rather judgmental, to the point where I view things that don't live up to my standards as disgusting and needing to be done away with)
- I am naturally assertive. my own needs and desires are 90% of what I think of. my conceitedness borders on narcissism
- 9w8s are earthy, low key and don't draw attention to themselves. I trust I don't need to explain this point
I mean, when I look at my strengths and (more importantly) my weaknesses, they do not match up with 9 at all.
also, if I were an ISFP, I would not be a 9w8 ISFP, I would be a more temperamental subtype like a Sexual counter phobic 6, an 8w7 or a 1. for example. compare me to wolfy. a true ISFP 9w8 Sp/Sx. we have absolutely nothing in common.

interesting, I thought my delivery was more controlled/"civilized" than a 7w8. 7w8s have more overt, unrestrained aggression to them (like they aren't acting aggressively, they
are aggressive. I definitely have aggression, and a lot of it, but it's very controlled, even when I do exercise it). granted, I am leaning wing 8 at the moment, but if I am than the 3w4 fix, 1w9 fix and Sp/Sx stacking make me look very non-7w8.
