8 - MC - MIEP>COSA

Quite easy perhaps to imagine how someone can place metaphysical pleasure as their core value. 8s are usually submerged in interpretations of their experiences, which manifest as daydreams. Usually religious and very romantic. Often they write poetry, books, or in other ways express their artistic nature. What separates them from E-types is that they do it on a whim, not to grab attention, but because it brings them pleasure, kind of like P-types when they cook for themselves. Uncautiously optimistic, whatever pattern they recognize almost always leads them to believe that something good is about to happen.

8s like money and gifts but are too weak-willed to pursue them, they’d rather imagine that they have them. 8s dress with a lot of bare skin showing, usually they have tattoos that symbolize something. By the way, all of that applies to guys, too, but most 8s I’ve seen are women. They have dampened physical sensors, so they require strong physical stimuli. For that reason, they like spicy food, but in general, they don’t eat much, because they don’t feel hunger as acutely as others. For that reason, perhaps they are usually very skinny, but 8s tell me that even if they eat a lot, they don’t gain weight at all. Again, because of dampened sensations, they can exercise a lot, especially to look good. Of all the sports, they prefer combat sports (boxing, karate, etc.). It’s hard to say why, either because they are masochistic or because they get to act as though they have instincts that are usually weakened for them. For that reason, 8s do not feel fear and experience abulia.

8s are usually in a great mood, and even when they need something, they don’t pretend to be upset like 2s; they carefully nudge people towards 8’s currently desired goal. It’s quite nice being an 8 in all honesty, all they need is money/stuff and time to dream/think/reflect. In fact, they have these persistent beliefs that the universe (god, fate) will provide for them. As a result, when they see a rich/good-looking person, they think the universe (God, fate) has finally delivered. Then they shower them with love and promises of a great life, while asking for money and things. When they sense (with their excellent pattern recognition skills) that their partner cannot provide for them, they move on to someone else. Usually, only 7s/9s can provide for them, not just because they make a lot of money, but also because they are careful about who they give it to. 

8s are naturally curious. To be able to analyze information, recognize patterns, and gain pleasure from it, you need to have some information to start with. They care about their status and want a good “label”, but it’s not super important to them, and they might, for example, run away from their husbands, wives, etc., in a way that, for example, 3s-6s would never.
