Justice is the most important thing in the world to 8’s. They believe in order to get justice they must cut injustice. They get majorly pissed at things like someone cutting in line. They think people involved with the oil spill should be forced to live in the oil, there should be special jails for politicians, and wouldn’t mind pain amplifiers for people in jail.
They are punitive leaders and bosses and channel their energy into correcting injustice by being over-justice makers. They become obsessed about punishing the unjust and feel it’s in the name of “good”.
They’re often viewed as tough and mean, because they think that’s the only way people will listen to them. The worst thing for them is to be perceived as a wimp.
