I could still see you as an 8.
However, I am wondering what you think of being an sp/sx 3w4? You mentioned your low activity level, which would appear to rule it out, but I'm interested in your thoughts anyway.
Also, what are your thoughts on being a 5? I see you gathering lots of data and trying to come to some sort of "elegant solution" to understand humanity, which is reminiscent of the way 5s process. Especially when you add your anxiety regarding interacting interpersonally, I could easily see a case for it.
I'm more inclined toward Type 5. It was my original typing when I first learned about the system (though w4, I believe). My 'elegant solution' I guess would be very 5 like, as I enjoy the grand patchwork I have been weaving between JCF and Socionics as being a mechanical, technical, detached way to understand people and their motivations, sort of eliminating the pesky human element in favor of the objective mechanism that can be generally applied without straying from concrete reality.
As for 3w4, I have an almost abysmal work ethic for things I am uninterested in. I'm afraid of failure, but not in the specific way that it manifests in the 3, I believe. I'm more afraid of being wrong, and being inferior in regards to others. I need to be above or on-par with virtually everyone I know so that I can fuel an almost delusional sense that I am somehow greater. The problem is, I don't put forth effort toward self-actualization, due to how rather lethargic I am. In that sense, I identify with 9's sloth, that my own laziness is my own worst enemy, fighting me at every turn.
[MENTION=20829]Hard[/MENTION], I wonder if that would be more indicative of the 5 to remain impersonally detached from people like I apparently do here. I sort of do this in my own life, as well, keep everything distanced so that cords can be severed if need be.
