Enneagram Personality Type 8 Review

In One Sentence I’m all about strength and showing who’s in charge to reassure myself that I don’t have a weak bone in my body, but I can’t admit to myself how scared I really am of my buried weakness, and so I show up larger than life in nearly all situations hoping to leverage my power for the people I love

Essence Qualities Fortitude, Aliveness, Majesty

Basic Fear being shut down and violated

Basic Desire to feel strong, alive, and forceful

Type 8 with 7 Wing I’m the hardest charging go-getter who can take heat like no one else and upset others quickly with my intense energy, hardly able to turn off my own heat, but I care more about respect than I do success, and when I’m truly secure, or at least secure that people turn to me as the boss, I’ll lay down my life for what I believe in
