“Social Eights are more loyal, more overtly friendly, and less aggressive. They are helpful Eights—people who are nurturing, protective, and concerned with the injustices that happen to people. Male Social Eights can look like Type Nines, and female Social Eights may resemble Type Twos. However, these Eights can be distinguished from Nines and Twos because they act in more direct, powerful ways, engage more readily in conflict, and express more power and control in seeking to protect and support other people.” LoveChristianCompassionMarriageBest FriendsEnneagram Book:The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge Source: The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge
“Social Nines can look like Type Threes because they work very hard and accomplish a lot without showing the stress of it. But they differ from Threes in that they are much more reluctant to be in the spotlight and they don’t support the group to create an image or to win admiration from others. They may also be mistaken for Twos because they are active in meeting the needs of others, but they have much less need for approval and appreciation than Twos, and are generally more emotionally steady.” LoveCompassionChristianityEmpathyEnneagram Book:The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge Source: The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge
