: 8's are power brokers and like to achieve to gain control of their environment, whatever particular environmnet that happens to be.

I agree with most of what you said. However, an Eight explained to me that Eights aren't as
concerned with getting power as with stopping other people getting power over them. The best
way to see it IMO is as 'attack is the best form of defense.'
Emphasise 'attack' in that phrase; if one emphasises 'defence' one gets the counterphobic Six
mindset.
