[Type 8] E8s, what are your MBTI type?

[Speed Gavroche]

The tittle speaks about himself. I'm curious to know what are the correlations between the enneagram 8 and MBTI types. I'm guessing sometimes that I am an 8 myself, but I'm not sure. Apparently, just a few ISTPs have that enneagram, and that surprises me a little. ISTP can easily match with the E8 in my mind. Both are assertives, independents, fear to be controlled, fear failure, are anti-conformist, prone to anger, individualism, long alone thought, secretely sensible and desirious to meet other needs...

I am a P, and I am type 8. That is all I am going to say.

I've tested 7w8. I've also tested 5. Go fig.

Well, on some level that makes sense because in theory 7 "integrates" to 5 (so when on a path of "growth," healthy 7s take on certain positive traits of the 5), and 8 "disintegrates" to 5. And 5 integrates to 8 and disintegrates to 7. So all three types are interconnected.
