Type Eight
We have named personality type Eight The Challenger because, of all the types, they enjoy taking on challenges themselves as well as giving others opportunities to prove themselves. They have a charismatic personality that can persuade others to follow their efforts both physically and mentally. Type Eight represents the archetype of people who deny weakness and vulnerability, seeking protection in fearlessness, power, and strength.
What are they like?
In life, they hope to rely on their own strength to dominate their environment and control their situation. When in a position of advantage, they often unabashedly display their regal demeanor; when at a disadvantage, they are often accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to fully counterattack. They are confident, strong, and decisive. They are protective, resourceful, outspoken, and decisive, but can also be self-centered and domineering.
Personality Development Levels
All types have strengths and weaknesses: Some parts of your personality work well, while others may hinder you from achieving your ambitions and goals. The extent to which this affects you is not fixed, these changes in your strengths and weaknesses are called development, and are divided into three stages: healthy, average, and unhealthy. Ideally, the goal is to develop yourself into the healthy category and pay attention to the signs that you are slipping into the unhealthy category. Once you have identified these, you can improve your strengths and learn to make up for your weaknesses, thereby making you a more fulfilling and successful self.
