Of the nine Enneagram types, Type Eights may be the easiest to spot since they stand out from the pack – literally. These natural born leaders are motivated by their need to be stronger than others and overcome their environment through sheer willpower.

Type Eight investors are perhaps the gutsiest of all Enneagram archetypes. Absent any compulsion to follow rules or hesitate, these alphas are always ready to pounce. With intense energy, they love big ideas and making large investments. Taking concentrated risks is more aligned with their innate qualities of bravado and self-belief.
