I am also and INTJ and I am also an 8. There are so many people in the world and looking for a sample population in a message board is going to give you a skewed reading. THe reason for 5 being so close is that when 8's are unhealthy they take on the emotional detachment and the need for logic over the natural reaction of listening to the gut. Also, the online tests could be wrong, you may be a 5 who is taking on the characteristics of an 8 (one of the writers, i forget which, refers to this as integration and disinteghration). How do you solve problems, operate in groups? What is your impression of the world around you? Answer these questions to help determine your personality type.
Hi,
> I have been tested for MB type and was found to be an INTJ. I have recently done these Ennegram things a number of times (only online). The results come up with the dominant one as 8, followed by 5, then usually 3 or 7 or 1 (all reasonably low), and the rest just about non-existent. I haven't seen anyone else with these sort of types on here - they tend to have 2nd preferences one off the first number, and INTJ's seem to be either 4's or 5's.
