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 9 Wing I fight hard and undertake massive endeavors to feel my dominance over my environment, but then I go into hibernation for recharge till the next tussle, and have a very easy-going side to me that I like and which gives me more patience to deal with the details in life
