Enneagram Type and Wing 8w7

Hailey808 • 5/16/2024 4:06:37 PM

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm new to the forum and have been diving deep into understanding my Enneagram type, specifically as an 8w7. I'm curious about how other 8w7s experience their core motivations and fears. For 8w7s, the combination seems to balance the intensity and assertiveness of Type 8 with the adventurous and spontaneous characteristics of Type 7. How do you personally balance these traits in your daily life? Do you find it challenging to manage the need for control (Type 8) while also seeking excitement and variety (Type 7)? Additionally, I'm interested in how this wing influences your interactions with others. Do you find that people often perceive you as a strong, confident leader, or do they sometimes misinterpret your directness and enthusiasm? Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and insights! Thanks in advance! 😊 #Enneagram #Type8w7 #PersonalityTypes #SelfDiscovery

Hello everyone! 🌟 I'm curious about the experiences of those who identify as 8w7. I've been diving into the Enneagram recently and finding it incredibly insightful. I'm particularly intrigued by how the assertive, protective nature of the Type 8 blends with the adventurous, enthusiastic traits of the 7 wing. For those who are 8w7 or know someone who is, how does this combination play out in your daily life? Do you find that the 7 wing softens the intensity of the 8, or does it amplify a more dynamic and energetic presence? How do you balance the desire for control and decisiveness (8) with the impulsive, pleasure-seeking tendencies (7)? Any personal stories, tips, or challenges would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your insights! 😊 #Enneagram #8w7 #PersonalityTypes #SelfDiscovery

Hey fellow Enneagram enthusiasts! I’ve recently been diving deep into the Enneagram, and I’m particularly interested in learning more about Type 8 with a 7 wing (8w7). ✨ For those who identify as 8w7, what has been your experience in balancing the assertiveness and intensity of an 8 with the adventurous and spontaneous nature of a 7? Do you find that the 7 wing helps you to be more sociable and lively, or do you sometimes struggle with impulsivity? 🔍 I’m also curious about how 8w7s handle stress and conflict. Given the core desire for control typical of Type 8s, does the 7 wing influence your approach to problem-solving and confrontation? Are there particular strategies or practices you employ to stay grounded? I’d love to hear about your personal journeys, challenges, and any tips you might have for harnessing the strengths of an 8w7. Looking forward to your insights! 🙌 Thanks!

Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm curious about the dynamics of the 8w7 combination. I've been reading up on Enneagram types and wings, and I get that Type 8 (The Challenger) is driven by a need for control and can be very assertive, while a Type 7 (The Enthusiast) is all about excitement and avoiding pain. So, for those who identify as an 8w7 or know someone who does, how do these qualities blend together in everyday life? Do the adventurous, fun-loving traits of the 7 wing soften or amplify the intense, confrontational nature of the 8? And how does this impact relationships, work, or stress management? Also, are there any particular challenges or strengths that stand out for this specific type-wing combo? Any personal experiences or insights would be super helpful! 🙏 Thanks in advance for your thoughts and wisdom! 🌼 #Enneagram #8w7 #Personality #Type8 #Type7

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram lately and I'm really curious about the Type 8 with a 7 wing (8w7). I understand that 8w7s are often seen as assertive, energetic leaders who are both bold and adventurous, bringing a lot of dynamism to their environments. However, I'm struggling to understand how the Type 7 wing specifically influences the core 8 characteristics in daily life situations. For those of you who identify as 8w7 or know someone who does, could you share some insights or examples of how the 7 wing manifests in behavior, decision-making, and relationships? Also, how do 8w7s typically navigate the balance between their assertive qualities and the more enthusiastic, fun-loving nature of a 7? Any personal anecdotes, challenges, or strengths you've observed would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your wisdom and experiences! 😊 #Enneagram #Type8 #8w7 #PersonalityTypes #SelfGrowth

Hey everyone! 😊 I've recently been digging deep into understanding my Enneagram type and wing, and it looks like I'm an 8w7. I'm fascinated by the unique blend of the Challenger (8) with the Enthusiast (7) and how it affects personality traits, behavior, and motivations. For those of you who identify as 8w7 or have close experience with someone who does, I'd love to hear your thoughts on a few things: 1. How do you balance the driven, assertive nature of type 8 with the energetic, fun-loving side of type 7? 2. What strategies have you found helpful in managing the potential for burnout, given the high-energy and high-demand characteristics of this type/wing combination? 3. How do you navigate relationships with other types, especially in stressful situations? Would really appreciate any insights or personal stories! 🧐 Thanks in advance! 🙏🌟 #Enneagram #8w7 #PersonalityTypes #SelfDiscovery

Hello everyone! I've been delving into enneagram studies lately and I find myself resonating a lot with Type 8, particularly the 8w7 wing. For other 8w7's out there, how do you balance the assertive, dominant nature of 8 with the enthusiastic, energetic aspects of 7? In what areas do you experience potential conflicts? And how has understanding your enneagram type aided in your personal growth? Would love to hear about your experiences and insights. 😊🙏 #Enneagram #Type8w7

Hello all, 🙋‍♀️ As an Enneagram Type 8w7, I'm in a constant state of trying to understand myself more. From what I’ve read, we are dominant, self-confident, and assertive. However, I feel I strongly resonate with the softer side of my personality as well. I guess it could be the impact of the 7 wing. Is this a standard feeling for folks that identify as 8w7s? Are we generally more inclined towards our main type (8) or do our wing characteristics (7) also dictate a large part of our behavior? I'm curious to hear what other 8w7s and enneagram experts think. Thanks, guys! 😊🙏
