Eights’ preoccupation with self-protection means they are the best equipped to challenge oppressors and stand up for people who aren’t as strong as they are. I love this about the Eights I know. Their concern about injustice and their belief that they are responsible for protecting the innocent is both powerful and gentle at the same time. However, Eights often miss out on what’s in it for them; when Eights engage with those who are marginalized, they need to be aware that the giving can be mutual and relational.
