THE ENNEAGRAM

Type 8

Type Eight is sometimes called The Boss or The Challenger. Eights tend to be oriented toward strength and power. Eights usually move toward conflict and confrontation more easily than other types. They also have more ready access to anger than most of the other types. Eights focus their attention on creating order out of disorder, the big picture, and who has the power. They have big energy, which can be intimidating to those around them, but they can often underestimate their impact on others. They can be excessive, impulsive, generous, and protective of others. They are natural leaders but can have a blind spot when it comes to expressing vulnerability.
