Are You A Type Eight?
Type Eights are known as the confronter. They are usually outspoken people who find it easy to voice their opinions, and take a tough stand towards being treated unfairly. Though it is normally perceived that they have a need to dominate, it is more accurate to say that they have a need to not be dominated.
Type Eights belong to the instinct triad, and have over expressed aggression. Unlike Type Ones who suppress their anger or aggression because they find that it is wrong to get angry, Type Eights are not likely to hold back should they have any anger or displeasure within them.
They have an assertive energy, and are aggressive in asserting themselves. In most cases, they have a do first, think later attitude. Thus, they like to see themselves as forceful and decisive, usually choosing to go with their gut instinct and charge ahead, rather than worry about the details.
Generally, they find it easy to make decisions, and are usually confident about their abilities. It doesn’t matter if others disapprove of what they do because they don’t see a need to seek approval from others. One of the best way to build rapport with Eights is to be direct and honest with them. Ironically though, because of the forceful nature of Eights, people usually avoid being direct with them.
