Type 8 – Active Controller
“Fire, aim, ready!”. Eights are powerful forces of nature whose presence can be felt in most of the rooms they occupy.
They have a strong personality that values being in control, or not being controlled.
With an action orientation they are often guarded themselves, but equally long to care for and protect those around them. They fear being vulnerable and will mask this with a tough, straight-to-the-point exterior that appears as physical, emotional or mental armour.
For some, Eights may seem confrontational or intimidating, but often for an Eight their direct approach and energy makes them feel connected to others.
At their best, they blend their direct and strong approach with a compassionate and caring heart, becoming collaborative and lowering their defences for the greater good.
