Re: Type 8
I managed never to see any of The Sopranos but is this character an 8? He's overreactive, ungrounded, and fearful.

Re: Type 8
'Throughout the series, Tony struggles to balance the conflicting needs of his actual family—wife Carmela, daughter Meadow, son A. J., and mother Livia—with those of the Mafia family he controls. He often displays behavior traits characteristic of a violent sociopath, struggles with depression, and is prone to panic attacks. He seeks treatment from Dr. Jennifer Melfi, a character Chase modeled after his own psychiatrist, in the first episode and remains in therapy on and off up until the penultimate episode of the series.'
cph 6 perennial intermittent therapy patient. 'Struggles to balance'--lacks sure footing, requires support. Wiki pic reminds me of Alex Jones a bit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Soprano
Also, like I said originally about Alex Jones when someone said he was an 8, the only other possible typing for him is 9w8 at 6. Or seems to be. If you want to show me how Tony's an 8 go for it.

Re: Type 8
I read the full wiki article and I'm looking at youtube clips. He is nerve-wracking to watch. He seems unpredictable, erratic, like you never know where he'll land. In other words, again, reactive. Where is lead passion lust, or disintegration point avarice or pride?
My downstairs neighbor was unhealthy so/sx 8 way in 7 with a 7 fix in 6 and was bouncing off the walls half the time but was still more grounded.

Re: Type 8
An 8 under severe stress should have amplified traits of schizoid removal at 5 while retaining some of the capacity for emotional manipulation at 2. Above all there should be grandiosity. 8 was already an Omnipotent Megalomaniac before it became a Violent Destroyer.
There should be some of this. Don't really see any so far.

Re: Type 8
I only watched a few episodes of the Sopranos a long time ago, but from what i remember, i definitely agree with Roshan
I really don't see 8 for Tony.
Cph 6 or 9w8 at 6 makes way more sense.
And ct-wise, my first guess would have been SiFe in SeFi, i think.
