What aspect of yourself is making you uncertain?
The fact that I don't think I am "strong enough" so to speak,to have an 8-fix.Also the fact that I may be almost too soft in a way to have 8 in me,like maybe I'm not blunt enough about things to be the truth teller...I tend to favor finding a tactful way of phrasing the truth overall,to soften the blow.
OK, first of all, you're a core 4. Your gut fix is going to come out for those (4ish) reasons, and come out in a 4ish form. Fours are sensitive and tactful as part of their core nature, so I'm not sure that being able to be diplomatic is a strike against an 8-fix. You are also Fi-dom, which means you're going to relate to people from that perspective. You will probably not generally be as blunt as you may be thinking.
That would make a lot of sense,as I don't really relate to 9 or 1's core fears or motivations as much as 8's.I suppose 4 being in the lead might explain my approach towards informing others,thanks.
I personally don't think I'm blunt enough to be a "real 8/8-fixer" myself, yet the psychological underpinnings are all there. I definitely do not see myself being "hyperreactive", either, which caused me to doubt being this tritype for a long time. But when I look at where my fields of perception are, that's clearly what's going on. So, it's not always what you would expect based on your own inner experience.
Ok good to know it's not just me
,
other people on here I've seen with this tritype seem so very blunt,and I didn't really relate to them in that aspect,
which caused me even more doubt as I thought we where supposed to relate to people of our same tritype,
but I suppose a differing core would make sense as to how a person goes about their tritype.
Fours sometimes report difficulty in finding the gut-fix. They're often gut-fix-last, and they have a 1-connection to further complicate matters.
Yes this is certainly the case with myself,I feel the least in touch with my gut type,it makes it very hard to discern.
I made this some time ago:
1-fix will try to justify anger before taking action and may feel guilty for being angry later. Strong values system.
9-fix tends to suppress rage and doesn't perceive self as "angry" very often
8-fix tends to explode, then get over it. There is more comfort with one's own anger.
The Fauvres say that when you think of your gut fix, think of how you manage anger as a general rule. Do any of these resonate?
1-Only the parts about feeling guilty about being angry afterwards(although maybe that's more about what I did while angry...) and having a strong value system.
9-Not at all.
8-Strongly relate to all of it.
So I do have an 8-fix,it's just softened,if you will, by my core 4?
