The 9 types
SPOT ON TYPE 8
T Y P E 8
The strong person
As a Type 8, you are strong, brave, decisive, and protective. You express yourself directly and without sugarcoating things. You highly value honesty and would rather hear the raw truth than a lie. However, this doesn’t mean you should be communicated with directly, harshly, or provocatively. On the contrary, you open up when met with genuine warmth and, most importantly, humor.
You are a big personality who fills the room and naturally takes your place. Even when you're quiet, you "make noise" because your energy is so powerful. You display great authority and determination.
Behind that tough exterior is a big, loving heart, full of generosity and protection for those under your wings and those you trust, as well as those who, in your eyes, are innocent.
If you're vulnerable, you can be hurt by others, and you will do everything in your power to avoid that, which is why you make yourself strong.
You have respect for people who stand up for themselves, so it's okay if they disagree with you. You need to be informed, heard, and have influence. You like to be in charge, but if others can argue their points, you'll listen and might even change your mind.
When you push yourself too hard, you may end up "running over" others verbally or by forcefully pushing your actions—your rights.
