8s and Others 1s: Eights are committed and energetic like Ones, but they don’t share the same focus: Ones generally focus on the problem, and Eights focus on the solution. 2s & 5s: Eights share a line with both Twos and Fives on the Enneagram, moving to Two in security and Five in stress. Eights need tenderness, affection, and awareness of the feelings of others from Twos. Eights need a Five’s ability to move slowly, gathering necessary information before acting, as well as the ability to appreciate times when neutrality is of value.
