[MENTION=5684]Elfboy[/MENTION] , insightful. That's a good resource, it should be stickied somewhere.
I'll check those out when I have time and mull it over. I can't say I don't identify with aspects of the 6 but I can't say I identify with aspects of the 8 less than aspects of the 6, particularly the sexual variant orientations. I'm working on realizing where and how each type manifests itself in who I am.
Something I find interesting about what [MENTION=13589]Mal+[/MENTION] said was he didn't find any traces of 3 in my questionnaire answers, whereas much of my personality is heavily influenced by 3ish motivations. This means I'm not being fully open / expressive with the essence of who I am -- but that's not something which is possible over the internet on a thread filled with people who are asked to type a remote description of someone they've never met before cold turkey.
I think the purpose of threads like these, particularly of the enneagram branch (MBTI can be determined based on behavioral traits, enneagram can not), is to bring rise to meaningful questions and share various perspectives. In the end, only the typee can realize what they are, nobody can do it for them.
I only have the descriptions you present here to work with. But if there are some 3 motivations in those, in between the lines or whatever, they are heavily outweighed by 8 traits.
