Here is the boxplot in question (since the OP doesn't have the rep to post pictures):
It looks like the medians (and likely also the means) are pretty much identical, but the variances differ between the eight categories, with category 1 having the lowest and 8 the highest variance. Depending on the real question involved, these two pieces of information (similar median/mean, different variance) may already be enough.
If you want a formal significance test whether the variances are equal, you can use Hartley's or Bartlett's test. If you want to formally test equality of means with unequal variances (so ANOVA is not appropriate), look here.
