Eights attempt to master the world by being strong. They like to solve problems through sheer willpower and have no problem with confrontation.
Strengths of Enneagram 8s
Care about truth and justice and are willing to protect the weak
Are confident in their decision-making skills
Don’t worry what people think of them
Have a charismatic knack for leadership
Are fearless and inspire others to overcome their fears
With a natural confidence and the charisma to get things done as well as their disinterest in taking no for an answer, Eights often automatically end up in positions of leadership. They find it easy to take care of things nobody else would, and are honest and upfront in their communication.
Eights have the ability to inspire strength and endurance in others and can push through things that other people simply lack the will, energy and grit for. But their straightforward all-or-nothing approach often intimidates other people, and it’s hard for Eights to admit they’re wrong and respect people that aren’t as tough as them.
What motivates Enneagram 8s
Eights want to feel strong and in control so they can protect themselves and those they love.
