3+8: The Challenger
Double assertive.
Pairing that is the most aggressive and assertive.
Think of a steamroller or a tank: fearsome, bulky, resistant, yet difficult to steer and manoeuvre.

• Know how to make an impact and have it their way despite not always following the rules.
• Can use intimidating tactics in order to win.
• They often have a determined look on their face.

“Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud, as she had me so young and couldn’t support me, so I am living her dream, it’s sweeter for both of us. It’s her 40th birthday soon and I’m going to buy her 40 presents.“ — Adele

Enneagram Type 8: Vice
The Eight’s vice is excess and going to extremes. Whatever they like, they want more of, and whatever they do, they overdo at full speed. Quick to respond, Eights can over react and come on too strong. They can be too much, too intense, and unwilling to self-limit. This can lead to escalating conflict due to an over reliance on their own truth and self-defined justice. Under stress they can become myopic, believing their truth as ‘The Truth’. Seeing life as a battlefield or a contest of wills, they can become confrontational and have difficulty backing down or admitting defeat. Eights have a tendency to push things to the edge and sometimes may run over others in the process.
