Type 8 – The Powerful Person

Type 8 – The Powerful Person
In their essence 8’s personify power in it’s highest form. When this inherent knowledge was lost they mistakenly perceived that they had caused the loss by doing something bad or wrong. In their adaptation they reject any implication that they are weak or vulnerable, and take on the task of defending the unprotected and innocent. There is a certain raw physicality about them. They tend to puff up when angered or challenged, and aren’t likely to back down. Their denial of weakness causes them to over cultivate their toughness.
