One thing for you to look at - are your five traits unhealthy or healthy - and so on for your four's? I would assume that your inherent point would be your "healthiest" numbers. : On another point - my spouse is a definite 8. I have persistently tested him to figure out his MBTI. They are all coming out with different letters - with extremely low scores. His last one was the most lengthiest test - outcome: ISTJ 4,3,4,6. Does this mean he's balanced? This is a military guy. Isn't that an oxymoron? Are you sure he's not a counterphobic six ? Bouth the MBTI type and sixes are mutch more military freaks than eight's I hope you have studied c.ph six, because if he is a eight, I don't think he Does his anger comes as a fight for truth and justice (8), or against Andy (just asking you to check once) Of course you most likely are right... Andy (that also have had an ex-military teather, that was six (could look like an eight) and ISTJ)
