The last time I spoke with Jen Hatmaker on her \\u201cFor of Love\\u201d podcast, we talked about how she identifies as a Three. As our conversation continued I began to think, \\u201cMan, you\\u2019ve got a lot of features of an Eight. I wonder if you should check out this other type.\\u201d \\xa0

Threes and Eights are both assertive, ambitious, and competitive. But the difference is that an average eight wants to get their way pretty fast because they just don\'t want to waste time. They\'re not afraid to get into an argument, but they\'re like, "Whatever, I just want to get the power and the control in the room here a little bit or in life." They\'ll compete for dominance, but it\'s less about social or status issues, it\'s more about power. For Threes, it\'s much more about status and appearances.\\xa0 Threes are less interested in having the power rather they are more interested in being admired by others. \\xa0

In today\\u2019s episode, we discuss the similarities and differences of Threes and Eights and how that manifests under the umbrella of fighting for justice and grace.\\xa0 Listen as we talk about Jen\\u2019s need to stand up for various social issues, her ability to embrace confrontation for what is just, and the emotional response to doing just that. \\xa0\\xa0
