The body-centered types are also referred to as the “self-forgetting” triad, in that Types Eight, Nine, and One all tend to “forget” themselves through a kind of psychological inertia that occurs with regard to their physical needs. These three types, each for their own reasons, tend to put their needs and wants in the background, ignoring their practical and physical requirements for things like rest and relaxation (Eights), play and pleasure (Ones), and priorities, preferences, and opinions (Nines).
