Enneagram Type and Wing 8w7

Norton666 • 5/10/2024 7:57:00 PM

Hello everyone! I'm new to the world of Enneagram - fascinating so far 💫. I've identified myself as a type 8, more specifically 8w7. I've read articles, watched videos, you name it. Overall, I resonate with a lot of the characteristics. However, I sometimes question whether I am a "true" 8w7 as there are some traits I can't fully relate to. For example, the idea of always wanting to be in control. I like being in a leadership role, but I'm not against letting others take the lead occasionally. I am curious if other 8w7s feel the same way, or if perhaps I might be mistyping myself? If you're an 8w7, how do you personally interpret and live out this type and wing? Also, do you have any good resources or insights you'd like to share? I'm eager to dig deeper! Thanks, everyone! 🙌

Hello fellow Enneagram explorers, 🌍 I'm trying to understand more about being an Enneagram Type 8 with a 7 wing (8w7). As someone who identifies with this descriptor, I still find myself grappling with a few details 😌. What are some defining characteristics of an 8w7 compared to other types and wings? How do the strength and dynamism of 8 integrate with the vitality and optimism of 7? Are there any common pitfalls or challenges that 8w7s should be mindful of, and if so, do you have any advice for dealing with these? 💪 I’m also intrigued to hear about any notable differences in interpersonal relationships for an 8w7. Looking forward to your insights! 🙏🏼💡

Hello fellow Enneagram enthusiasts!😊 I've been exploring my Enneagram type (8) with a wing of seven (8w7) and would love to dig deeper into it. Could any of you elaborate on the key characteristics, strengths, and potential areas for growth for an 8w7? I'm particularly interested in understanding how the influence of the seven wing might affect the overall behavior of a type 8. How does it differentiate from an 8w9? Thanks in advance for your insights! 🙏
