Sexual Eight MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Sexual Eight? Sexual Eight is an ESFP personality type in MBTI, 8w7 - sx/so - 827 in Enneagram, SLUEN in Big 5, SEE in Socionics.
You might not know but the only coherent PY type with this subtype is VFLE, and the sexual E8 is the most VFLE of all the possible subtypes for this type, which includes the three E8 subtypes, and SX1. The reasoning is very easy to understand, VFEL is a dry type, they are more serious and inexpressive, think Frank Castle, Billy Butcher. Even SP8 when they are VFLE they are more expressive than the usual, like Sukuna. But SX8 is described as someone who takes the attention of the whole scene, they are charismatic, Naranjo described it as: 》“This word also has to do with taking ownership of the entire scene: the sexual eight always wants to be the center. It is always fascinating. Their power comes from a greater seduction, from a greater power of fascination, which differentiates them stylistically from others. The other subtypes do not have as many colors in the feathers.” VFLE is the most expressive among 4Es, because 1V accentuates it, and also 1V2F makes them more openly aggressive. VFEL is more guarded about emotions, they are not charismatic or people that can entertain a group and make them have fun and laugh, they are not charismatic, they're emotionally severe. The SX8 is completely indifferent about emotions, he just doesn't care, and he's charming because of it, the VFEL's “charm” comes from his inexpressive nature. The SX8 relationship with intellect also resembles 3L more, since they like to present themselves as “my values are different from the norm”, which is not fittable for 4L, which is more indifferent to that and just does have his dogmas in a more natural and pragmatic, indifferent way, like Gordon Ramsay, for example. The overall VFLE is the archetype for SX8 and SX8 is only functional with VFLE. You are forgetting of what makes 3E a 3E: discomfortable at expressing himself, sensitive to the emotions of others, emotionally guarded and blunt. Which are traits that you're never gonna see in SX8s, and there are zero examples of SX8s being VFEL in fiction and in reality, because it is not possible to identify with the SX8 descriptions and with 3E at the same time.
