what do eights look like?Type eight people care more than most about who is in charge. They can become trapped by compulsive domination of others. One of their talents is an intuitive sense of strategy and tactics.
Except in rare cases, people of type eight show a flavoring from one of the two adjacent wing points, so we can say they are eight with a seven wing (8/7) or eight with a nine wing (8/9).
Like all humans, eights also come in three instinctual flavors: social (8sc), sexual (8sx), or self-preserving (8sp). In addition, eights also experience nine distinct levels of mental-emotional health (briefly described by the phrases at the top of this page). Therefore, it is possible to distinguish fifty-four distinct subflavors of type eight.
Eights are also influenced by the connections shown as colored lines in the diagram above.
