Enneagram Type and Wing 8w7

CuddleBirdy • 6/13/2024 6:56:42 AM

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram and I'm particularly fascinated by Type 8w7. I understand that as a blend of the bold, assertive 8 with the enthusiastic, adventurous 7, individuals with this wing can be pretty dynamic. However, I’m curious about how this combination manifests in daily life. For those who identify as 8w7, how do you balance the intense drive and desire for control of Type 8 with the spontaneous and fun-loving nature of Wing 7? Are there any particular strategies you use to harness the strengths of both aspects while minimizing potential conflicts between the two? 🧐 Also, how does this combination impact your relationships and career choices? I'd love to hear your stories and any advice you might have for navigating the challenges unique to this type. Thanks in advance! 😊 #Enneagram #Type8w7 #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery --- Given the forum context and the complexity of the Enneagram system, the tone is inquisitive and inviting for a richer exchange of personal experiences and practical strategies. Let me know if you need additional modifications.

Hey everyone! 🌟 I’ve been delving into the Enneagram and would love some insights on the 8w7 type. From what I understand, Type 8s are known as "The Challengers," driven by a need to assert control and avoid vulnerability, while the 7 wing brings in traits of "The Enthusiast," making them more outgoing and adventurous. For those of you who identify as 8w7 or know someone who does, how do you balance the intense, assertive energy of the 8 with the fun-loving, scattered nature of the 7? How does this combination influence your relationships and decision-making process? Also, any tips on personal growth for 8w7s? I'm curious how you manage the potential pitfalls like impulsiveness and a tendency to dominate. Looking forward to hearing your experiences and any advice you may have! Thanks! 😊

Hey everyone! I’ve been researching Enneagram types and I'm particularly intrigued by the 8w7 combination. From what I understand, Type 8s are known for their assertiveness and desire for control, while the 7 wing adds elements of enthusiasm and a need for variety. I’m curious to hear about personal experiences from 8w7s or those who know 8w7s well. How does the 7 wing influence the typical 8 traits in real-life situations? For instance, how does the drive for adventure and spontaneity of the 7 wing balance (or clash) with the 8's need for control and intensity? Also, how do these dynamics play out in relationships, both personal and professional? Any insights or stories would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! 🌟 I’ve been exploring my Enneagram type and I’m pretty certain that I’m an 8w7. I identify strongly with the assertive, protective nature of Type 8, but also feel the enthusiastic, spontaneous energy of a Type 7 wing. I’m curious to hear from others who are also 8w7: How do you balance your strong leadership qualities with the more adventurous, pleasure-seeking side? Do you find it challenging to navigate situations where your Type 8 desire for control clashes with the 7 wing’s love for freedom and new experiences? Additionally, how do you manage stress and maintain healthy relationships while embodying these two seemingly contrasting aspects of your personality? Looking forward to your insights and experiences! Thanks in advance. 😊 #Enneagram #8w7 #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery
