   Riso - Discovering Your Personality Type
 

Type Eight

The Functions of Self-Assertion and Leadership:
The potential for self-confidence, self-determination, self-reliance, magnanimity, and the ability to take personal initiative.
Negatively, the potential for domination of others, crude insensitivity, combativeness, ruthlessness, and megalomania.
