Symbol

The symbol that I think best represents Eights is the exclamation point which is a symbol of strong emotions.

Quick DESCRIPTION

The great thing about being an Eight is their desire to protect others, challenge the status quo and get things done.

The tricky part of being an Eight is they can often come across as arrogant, aggressive and cruel, which can be a shock to their more vulnerable side.

When it comes to the Enneagram, there is no stronger number and there is no one stronger on the Enneagram than an eight. They are assertive, competitive, forceful and know how to get things done. If you want to have a good time with an Eight, start a confrontational conversation.

The shadows side of Eights is that they don't like to be controlled. They come across as aggressive and intense which protects their very tender and vulnerable spirit.
