Lust manifests in the direct pursuit of satisfactions and the deserved lifestyle, with complete intolerance to frustration. They cultivate revenge in the name of their needs, feeling justified in the gratification of infantile impulses. "Intensity" is crucial here, more relevant across the three subtypes, highlighting the hedonistic tendency to achieve total satisfaction. The strength of their impulses creates an uncontrolled perception, seeking immediate gratification, resistant to their own needs. Hard as steel. Believes in no evasions, resolves conflicts through confrontation. Not generous, serious, and practical. Hard to deceive, brutal, demanding, and impatient. Lacks compassion and love, speaks harshly, exploits others for self-benefit. Rude, selfish, and distrustful. Superficial intensity in seeking pleasures to avoid self-reflection, insensitive, and overwhelming. Influential, powerful, and possessive, with a passion for achieving their desires. Tyrannical, imposing on others, a bossy attitude, fraudulent, and violent. Lacks camaraderie in friendships, uses others for utility. Excessive, unpredictable, and arbitrary. Indifferent and distracted from the world, unashamed of nudity. Low interest in talking about oneself, difficulty admitting to being hurt. Keeps others at a distance, not revealing their shortcomings. Finally, individuals deemed "hard," as in E8 sexual, stand out for tyrannical possessiveness in intimate relationships. In E8 social, the 'friendship' bonds reveal themselves as complicity. E8 conservational stands out for impatience with delays, becoming demanding and cruel, lacking understanding of the impact of these demands on others. If we want to find an animal representation, E8 conservational, due to its hardness, reminds us of the crocodile. In contrast, E8 social can be compared to the pig, relatively domestic and intelligent, while E8 sexual is associated with the boar, a wild and dangerous pig, highlighted by its formidable tusks.
