Enneagram type 5 and 8

Hello guys, Lately, I have been swinging between type 5 and 8. When I’m confident I test as an 8, when I am not I test as a 5. Also, my very first test I was a type 5. What type should I identify as now?

It's because as an 8 you tend to assimilate 5's traits in when you're stressed or not feeling at your best. You're enneagram type might be 8 and its wing could be 8w7 or 8w9 (most probably 8w9), therefore there are high chances of your tritype to be 852 or something like that. You assimilate 2s traits while being in an environment that gets the best of you.
