6, 7 and 8 are wrong. Use "contentment" for the noun. Note that 'content' is stressed on the end syllable the way you've used it. Most people would read this as 'content' - The content of something is what it contains.
Use 'content' as the adjective. A contented person is content. He has contentment.
4. is interesting, but not sure why it's there!

4. is interesting, but not sure why it's there!

Agreed.

The proverb is 'Enough is as good as a feast'.
