okay...
do you really have no one around? why is that? parts of your post strike me as 3-ish...worrying about how others watching me watch the kid get beaten for example, but others seem 6-ish...like putting yourself on the level of the people you are in charge of. that eliminates, or alleviates the tension in my brain when i have to give someone orders, even if i have the right to. um...
you look for truth, which makes me believe you're in the honesty fixation triad of 6,8, and 4. i don't believe you are really an 8, but there are hints to that effect (like getting really pissed about people deliberately damaging your stuff)
so the next batch of questions are :

what about truth makes it so important? is it good for its own sake, for a useful and efficient social setting, or because the truth is a kind of rotection? in other words, what is wrong with lying?

next, where have all the people gone? do you have close personal relationships? how did the last few significant relationships (intimate/love/you know) end? how do you react to someone getting that close to you?
what kind of person (not necessarily type specific) could you see yourself getting close to, or can you not see that?

do you have a "best friend" or a confidant of that type? if so, describe him/her briefly, if not, why not? have you wanted that kind of emotional "dumping grounds"

have you ever said something like, "i am just having one of those moods!" in an emphatic manner?

are you in a position of authority at work or somewhere else (church/therapy/what have you)?

aight, this should help narrow the list down.

btw, if you disagree and think 6,8,4 are totally off-base, tell me why.

latez,
hamster
