I'm an 8 and not that way at all. If someone matches me I'll take it to the next level until they apalogize or just give up. I don't follow after them trying to provoke but I cannot back down.

the first part sounded like me (especially the social counter attack when verbally insulted) but the second part didn't. expecting a non 8 to match the choleric energy of an 8 is just stupid. energy level has nothing to do with who's right.
I'm a Type 2 and most of the 8s I've known tend to treat me like either a surrogate "little brother" (if they're male and well-adjusted), as a confidant (if they're well-adjusted and open/trusting, male or female), or as a doormat (if they're socially stunted).
Agreed. This person is Type Two (One wing). My daughter is exactly like this. Eights aren't going to be "catty" when someone humiliates them. Quite the contrary.
@zenbrat Eights are more like junkyard dogs when they get confrontational. I'm a 2w1 with a tendency toward the receptive side (that's receptive, NOT submissive -- there's a difference) and I admire that kind of assertiveness.
If somebody responds with anger to injustice, that doesn't make her an 8 automatically. Might be 6 or 1 as well... but 8 types have spontenous, intimidating power in conflicts... they never think, analyse, explain... but do it hell-bent!
See Paul Teutul sr in Orange Country Choppers, he is definitely an 8! :)

Have to agree, she seems more 2-like. All the 8's that I know have this certain FU attitude and energy that exudes from their very pores.

This woman does not strike me as an 8. I would say she's a 2 (lower average to unhealthy 2's) move to 8 when unhealthy.

Cool, it's great to hear from an actual person with the type.. instead of just reading about it. I can relate to some of these things.
