Manipulation. No, boys, I'm not talking about what I do after I slink my naked body down into a hot bubble bath, when the bathroom is awash in a sea of candlelight and the musky sent of incense. I'm talking about how I get others to do what I want. There are two ways I go about doing this. I either come at you with an in your face command or direction, or I trick you into it. Either way I do it, I get immediate gratification. I am a control freak.
In almost any situation, I have an agenda. There is either something I want you to do for me, some way I want you to FEEL for me, or some way in which I think you could help me get someone else to do/feel as I please.
Sounds pretty heartless, eh? Not so much. I think everyone's like this, but nobody wants to admitt it.
I'm just putting it out, right here, I'm a manipulator, and when I manipulate you, you either realize it when it's over, "Damn, I played RIGHT into that"- or you know it's happening when I'm doing it, yet you're powerless to stop yourself. (I'm awfuly charismatic)
I must be strong, and in control, to get what I want.
You may not manipulate like I do, maybe you don't have that "in your face" mentality that I like to use. But you do it.
***
Do you strive for perfection to get your way? If you never do anything wrong, can your actions and motives not be questioned? Must people do as you wish, simply because it's OBVIOUSLY the right way to do things?
You might hate being questioned.
You like setting the standards. You are the one making posts telling others how to act on Uber.
You plan out what you're going to say, or you take a long time saying it, making sure you're understood.
You're a perfectionist.
You'd make a great judge or priest.
You like to compare what IS with what SHOULD be.
You are: http://www.ubersite.com/m/20445 Not Apologizing.
***
Maybe you think you'll get what you want if you're more helpfull and caring?
You define yourself by how much you can help everyone else. You confuse how you think you should feel with how you actually are feeling. You are the least manipulative type of person, but when you do manipulate you pull the "love" card.
Most likely, you don't even REALIZE you manipulate people, but you do it.
Before you post, you wonder if it's a worthy post. Will people appreciate what you have to say? Will it make someone chuckle/smile/think? You use flattery and god-natured means to get your way.
You are: http://www.ubersite.com/m/32866 GodChicken
***
You think that you can impress people into doing what you want? If you're attractive enough, who could RESIST?
Image means a LOT to you. You define yourself by your accomplishments. Unlike the GodChicken types, you want people to appreciate what you can do, not who you are. You are a bit squeemish about those lovey-dovey types, to be honest.
You're a strong leader, high profile, and productive. When you fail at doing these things, you try to at least project the image of greatness. You often compare yourselves to others, and see no problem with pointing out others flaws. You are doing them a favor (it's not your fault they get angry with you, SOMEONE needs to tell them).
You are: http://www.ubersite.com/m/32043 iddqd
***
Maybe you get what you want by being special, or insecure? People often do you favors... that's how you get your way.
You're caught up in the emotional world. You might be artistic, articulate and inspiring or whiny, elitist and negative. You're similar to the GodChicken type... you tend to compare what IS and what SHOULD BE. But you focus inward. You try to figure out what's wrong with YOU.
You probably see yourself as of defective, and that makes you feel unique, and even a little special. Maybe you're upset at your inability to succeed in the everyday world, but this complaint could carry a subtle quality of boasting. You're romantically tragic but also an elitist.
You are: http://www.ubersite.com/m/10802 InsaneTheMind
***
Or you're the type that thinks that you can get your way by being energetic and entertaining. People will be drawn to your winsome attitude, and, How could they NOT cave in to you? It doesn't even require much work!
You're well rounded. You have many different interests and knowledge bases.
You have a zest for living.
You're charming, creative and outgoing.
You are: http://www.ubersite.com/m/27733 Kristen

The greatest type of person to be is the type that I am.
"Type 8".
I'm protective, caring, and loyal. My friends mean a lot to me, the rest of you can just fuck off... all I'm trying to do is manipulate you, anyway.
This post alone shows us all the perfect example of this Type 8 personality.
Why?
Let me put it to you, verbatim:
"Most Eights don't quite realize how belligerent they can seem."

Anj, the sexual part isn't so much about jealousy... I'm not jealous at all. Although I have a whole set of self-esteem issues and such, once I'm WITH a guy, I don't worry about him going after other girls- Why WOULD he? It's just more about how you see life... it's often described as "intimate" instead of sexual.

Now why wasn't there an easy explanation like that on the site..... Thanks!
Most of this is true. I must not be a very sexual 8 because, I don't get jealous. But I've been with my BF ( a musician) for 8 years (living together for 7) and I guess I'm not jealous because he's passed all my tests.
I'll need to ask him how I was when we first started going out....

oh, and the other instincts people have...
Okay, sexual instinct I already talked about.
A self-preservational type would go into a party, and think, "Where's the food? It's kinda warm in here... Is there anywhere comfortable to sit?". They are very aware of their bodies and their comfort.
A social type walks into a party, and it's imediately obvious to them whos-who. They see the social structure set up, and they desire to talk to someone at any powerful or meaningful position... say, the host, or the semi-famous author, or the attractive man that every girl is looking at... etc...

Oh sorry, Anj, you want an explanation... okay, 8w9 (that means your an 8 with a 9 wing).
The Powerful, Dominating Type:
Self-Confident, Decisive, Willful, and Confrontational
Basic Fear: Of being harmed or controlled by others
Basic Desire: To protect themselves
(to be in control of their own life and destiny)
Self-assertive, self-confident, and strong: have learned to stand up for what they need and want. Take initiative, make things happen: champion people, provider, protective, and honorable, carrying others with their strength.
Most 8s show a very hard/strong exterior. You're a natural leader, and you hate that someone might control or manipulate you. Deep down you're sensitive, and you try pretty hard to keep that "deep down". You're independant, and you're a "do-er", if something needs to get done, you have the courage to do it.
The SEXUAL part of it is like this...
When you walk into a room (say, at a party), you imediately look around and notice the people. Who's attractive? You are more drawn to talking to someone that draws you to them (it might be looks/charisma/anything), and you don't care about their status, or "who they are".
You want stability, loyalty and predictability in close relationships. You might feel easily betrayed, and are prone to suspicion. You can love deeply, have a genuine close-up interest in and concern for spouse. You are choosy about who you let close to you in any sort of relationship. You are drawn to the idea of being able to trust completely, yet it's extremely difficult for you to do this- lots of testing of your partner's motives. If they pass the tests then then you relax a bit.
Sexual Eights can get codependent, jealous, hooked into the other. Sometimes can't let go; their partner's every move is (over)reacted to.
You sometimes play the "bad kid" role... you can be a bit of a rebeillious sort.
(some of that is just stuff I read from varrious books, other is relevant copy and pasted stuff)

I'm a 7.
AT BEST: Assimilate experiences in depth, making them deeply grateful and appreciative for what they have. Become awed by the simple wonders of life: joyous and ecstatic. Intimations of spiritual reality, of the boundless goodness of life.
HEALTHY: Highly responsive, excitable, enthusiastic about sensation and experience. Most extroverted type: stimuli bring immediate responses — they find everything invigorating. Lively, vivacious, eager, spontaneous, resilient, cheerful. / Easily become accomplished achievers, generalists who do many different things well: multi-talented.
AVERAGE: Uninhibited, doing and saying whatever comes to mind: storytelling, flamboyant exaggerations, witty wise-cracking, performing. Fear being bored: in perpetual motion, but do too many things — many ideas but little follow through.
UNHEALTHY: In flight from self, acting out impulses rather than dealing with anxiety or frustrations: go out of control, into erratic mood swings, and compulsive actionsOften give up on themselves and life: deep depression and despair, self-destructive overdoses, impulsive suicide.
Wow. That is messed up. It's so accurate. I have been at all those stages at one point or another... WOO ! I am "AT BEST" right now!! Woo!!

Good one.
But when your diagram refers to me as judgemental, remember that I am not outwardly judgemental. Meaning anyone I know might have been judged as a 'fucker' by me, and simply not know it because I am also an actor (aka liar).
Also, remember that what you know about me could be exactly what I want you to know about me...

that is accurate.
I am strong, confident, and loyal. I am a protector of my friends. I love being in control, and I'm a natural leader. I often speak too harshly, and deny hurting peoples feelings, although it happens quite often.
But, underneath (and don't tell anyone) I am sensitive and a bit insecure. It's very rare that anyone sees this side of me.
