Enneagram Type and Wing 8w9

TheOnion’sBestFriend • 6/8/2024 10:12:09 AM

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been diving deep into Enneagram Types recently, and I'm especially intrigued by the 8w9 (Type Eight with a Nine wing). From what I understand, 8w9s blend the assertiveness and leadership qualities of a Type Eight with the more peaceful, easy-going characteristics of a Type Nine. I'm curious about how this plays out in real life. If you're an 8w9, how do you balance your drive for control and power with the Nine's desire for peace and harmony? Do you find that your Nine wing softens some of the more intense aspects of being an Eight? 🧐 Also, how do 8w9s typically manage conflict, both in personal and professional settings? Do you approach challenges more aggressively like an Eight, or do you sometimes take a more diplomatic, laid-back route thanks to your Nine wing? I'd love to hear your experiences and insights! Thanks in advance for sharing. 😊 #Enneagram #8w9 #PersonalityTypes #Balanceการ

Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm curious about the Enneagram Type 8w9 and would love to hear your thoughts. As an 8w9, how do you balance the assertive, strong-willed nature of Type 8 with the peace-seeking, easygoing tendencies of the Type 9 wing? 🧐 I've read that 8w9s can be both protective and more laid-back compared to other Type 8s. How does this dynamic impact your relationships and work life? Do you find the 9 wing helps you mellow out, or does it sometimes create an inner conflict between getting things done and keeping the peace? Any personal experiences, tips, or insights would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 Thanks! 😊

Hey everyone! I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently and am particularly interested in Type 8 with a 9 wing (8w9). From what I understand, 8w9s combine the assertiveness and leadership qualities of Type 8 with the more laid-back, peacekeeping aspects of Type 9. This seems like a fascinating blend of traits that could create a unique dynamic in both personal and professional settings. I'm curious about your experiences if you're an 8w9 or know someone who is. How do you navigate the balance between the strong, assertive energy of Type 8 and the more easygoing, conflict-averse nature of Type 9? Do you find that these traits complement each other or create internal conflict? Any specific strategies or insights on how you manage this combination effectively would be greatly appreciated! 🌟 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and stories! Thanks 😊

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been diving deep into the Enneagram and wanted to gather some insights on a specific subtype: the 8w9 (Eight with a Nine wing). I’m curious about how this blend influences behavior, especially compared to the core Type 8 and its other wing, 8w7. From what I’ve read, 8w9s seem to have a unique balance of assertiveness and peacemaking tendencies. They’re described as being more grounded and mellow than the 8w7, but how does this play out in real-life scenarios? For those of you who identify as 8w9 or know someone who does, how do you see these traits manifesting in relationships, work, and personal growth? Also, any tips on how an 8w9 can leverage their strengths and work on potential challenges unique to this subtype? I’m really looking forward to hearing your personal experiences and any wisdom you might have. Thanks in advance! 🌟
