Honor, honestly, determination and integrity are hallmark Leader (8) traits, and these can be balancing for Achiever (3)s who can be swayed by concerns over image and failure.

The Achiever (3) and the Leader (8) make an effective, formidable couple who achieve their shared goals while sharing a deep emotional connection. Here we explore the compatibility of an Enneagram Type 3 with a Type 8 and what the relationship looks like when it is in balance and when it starts to spiral downward.
Enneagram Type 8 is called the Leader, the Challenger and the Protector because of their keen awareness of power dynamics: who is in control, who might need protection, who needs to be challenged. Not a bad combination if you ask me.Enneagram Type 3 Achievers/Motivators are typically energetic, optimistic, self-assured and goal-oriented. Thanks to the Four wing, they often have finer senses for the aesthetic, the artistic and the creative, while maintaining their goal-driven, ambitious and confident basic personality. Intelligence often becomes more important to them than personal attractiveness, and they tend to put all that hard work Threes are famous for into more serious projects than simply being the star everyone adores. Take it in a different direction though, healthy Threes with this wing benefit from much more self-awareness than the Three type usually suggests. “Threes with this wing benefit from much more self-awareness than the Three type usually suggests.”
They are more in touch with their emotions, yet need to suppress them to be able to keep up appearances. These Threes struggle with depression much more than their counterparts with a Two wing.
If you take this to the most unhealthy levels, you get a constant swing between inflating your ego and getting crushed by self-doubt. This often becomes their field of competition – and Threes are very competitive. Since Threes with a Two wing pour their energy into their success in relationships rather than more materialistic forms of success, relationships is where they truly shine: You get these dazzling, incredibly attractive people who use their shape-shifting abilities to turn on their charm whenever they need to in order to wow people into liking them.
“For Threes with a Two wing, relationships is where they truly shine.” Their efforts of making sure they are seen as accomplished can veer away from purely public recognition to a more private kind of success: having a stable family, a satisfying private life and an enviable home. Yes, they still want to be admired for their achievements, but it becomes more likely that some of those achievements are helping others to succeed as well. With a Two wing, the most social one of these – coming across as loving, generous and altruistic – often actually becomes true. For one, Threes are used to employ a lot of character traits to get people to like them, even if they have to fake them. So, what happens when you add the people-oriented Two personality as a wing to it? This: All the good (and bad) qualities of Threes are pushed into the realm of relationships. The Three personality type is highly image-conscious, ambitious and goal-driven.
