The Enneagram is a system which divides all human behavior into nine personality divisions. Your main type is whichever of those nine behaviors you use most, in your case Type 9w8. Your mean type, Type 8w9, is whom you are on average, based on the sum influence of all nine behaviors.
Most Enneagram books and tests focus on main type and use an additional "variant" classification (instead of mean type) to account for the influence of all nine behavior types. This is the same thing as mean typing, except instead of 9 delineations, there are only three. Based on your test results your variant is Sexual. So when reading other Enneagram books or websites refer to the Type 9w8, Sexual variant descriptions.
Everyone utilizes (and should utilize) all nine behaviors to some degree, the problem is how to choose the right behavior in each situation. Ideal decision making is undermined by irrational behaviors (how you act) and irrational motives (why you act). The ideal is to prioritize understanding/knowledge (type 5 behavior) in choosing how to act and why to act. If your main type and mean type are both five, you are usually driven by understanding/knowledge. For any other type combo, your decision making is compromised to some degree by irrationality. Example, you want success (type 3) because you can't tolerate being a nobody (a motivation which makes no rational sense). The root cause of irrationality is motivation based more on feelings and instincts than knowledge/understanding. Main type / mean type 1,2,3,4s are motivated more by feelings (desire for acceptance) and 6,7,8,9s are motivated more by instincts (desire for pleasure). Even if your main type is 5, if you have a non 5 mean type, underneath the surface of your rational manner lies an overall irrational motivation driven by instinct/feelings (extreme example: serial killer).
Intelligent thinking exemplified by the scientific method (learn/observe, theorize, experiment, analyze results, modify - repeat cycle) is the spine of progressive human evolution and becoming more fivish means applying that system to your own life. Choosing to always be a tough person (type 8), nice person (type 9), insecure person (type 4), reduces your options and compromises your problems solving ability. Don't misunderstand, those who prefer One and Nine behaviors can be very able minded (and academically accomplished) but in so far as they err on the side of tradition (type 1) or peacefulness (type 9) they are less likely to come up with and pursue innovative solutions to problems which is what drives progress. Remember, our thinking ability has taken us from stone age cave people to abstract thinking creative beings, so listen to your feelings but use your mind to determine what makes sense.
