SX1 all the way. Stop typing E8 for everything that has to do with anger. E1 is anger, E8 is lust. While lust can manifest as anger, it more so manifests as rebelliousness and egotism. Ordering people around? That's archetypally E1. E8 is archetypally a very independent type who acts dominant as a way to never appear vulnerable. They play the macho to avoid pain and weakness. Their dominance is generally not aimed at correcting others' behavior or wanting to influence others to be a certain way. They're too self-serving and autonomous to care about people's conduct. So many characters and traits typed E8 are SX1s. Please learn the difference.
Biography
It is known by a handful of stock phrases: 1. "Because I said so." 2. "Because I'm the mommy/daddy, that's why." 3. "Because you're just a kid and you don't know any better." 4. "Because you're too young to know what you want." 5. "Because! That's why!" Essentially, adults who believe that simply being the parent grants them the right to rule unquestioned over their child, so there's no need to explain anything to their child. The problem is that it is in the nature of children to test boundaries and ask questions. (Of course, it is also in the nature of children to be ignorant, so it kind of equals out.) So, when mothers and fathers see their child about to do something they believe or know to be a bad idea, their reaction happens like a bad, conditioned reflex. As a result of their belief that they should rule unquestioned, the parent will just say "No!" with increasing emphasis (and increasing ire the more the child questions the mandate).
