They protect the weaker and the group, and stand up for people who are being treated unfairly. They have more warmth, stick with people, and put their strength in the service of others. At first glance, people may mistake them for the Altruist.
Social Eights put their strength in the service of others. They protect the weaker, stand up for people who are being treated unfairly, and fight for the group they belong to. They're warmer and more loyal than other Eights. Of all Eights, they least resemble a typical Eight: they're gentler, and their anger doesn't come as quickly.
They have a strong sense of justice and can stand up to anyone who abuses power. At first glance, people may confuse them with a Two, because they help so much. Underneath, though, is Eight energy: directness, strength, and a willingness to go into conflict.
