The focus of attention is a preoccupation, albeit usually unconscious, with power, dominance and control of space and territory. A need to be big and strong. Doesn't know when to stop. Keeps on going or consuming whatever the Eight wants. Anger is the most familiar feeling.
Anger comes up in response to hurt, injustice, unfairness.
The Eight wants, and usually gets what he or she wants. Confronts to know what the truth is. Enjoys a worthy opponent. Others may perceive the Eight as too much, too loud, too big, too much energy, or too whatever. Yet, the internal experience of the Eight is moderation.
