Enneagram Wings and Subtypes

Tess646 • 5/30/2024 9:23:28 AM

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the world of the Enneagram, particularly interested in the concept of wings and subtypes. I understand that each person can have one of two adjacent wings (e.g., a Type 4 can have a 3 wing or a 5 wing) which add unique flavors to their core type. Additionally, I know there are three subtypes (self-preservation, social, and sexual/one-to-one) that further refine our personality. How do you all experience the interplay between your main type, wing, and subtype? Do you find that one has a stronger influence over the others in certain situations? How has this knowledge helped you in your personal growth journey? 🤔 Looking forward to hearing your insights! 🌱 #Enneagram #Wings #Subtypes #SelfDiscovery

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm diving deeper into the Enneagram and am curious about how wings and subtypes interplay with our core types. For context, I'm a Type 4 and I've noticed that I fluctuate between my 3 and 5 wings depending on different life situations. However, I'm also trying to understand how my social, self-preservation, or one-to-one subtype impacts this dynamic. Do wings significantly shift your core type behavior in specific subtypes? For example, as a social 4, does this mean my 3 wing will manifest differently than a self-preservation 4? Would love to hear about your experiences or any insights you have on balancing wings and subtypes! 🌿✨ Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #Wings #Subtypes #Type4

Hello everyone! 😊 I'm diving deeper into understanding my Enneagram type and would love some guidance on Enneagram Wings and Subtypes. I'm a Type 6 and still figuring out my wing, but I'm also curious about how subtypes (self-preservation, social, and sexual) come into play. How do you balance the influences of your wing with your primary type, and how do the subtypes shape your overall personality? I sometimes feel pulled in different directions, and I'm wondering if that's just part of the journey or if there are tips for integrating this information in a meaningful way. Would love to hear from those with similar experiences or anyone with insights on this! Thanks so much! 🙏✨ #Enneagram #Type6 #Wings #Subtypes #PersonalGrowth

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm diving deeper into the Enneagram and have some questions about wings and subtypes. I understand the basics: wings are the numbers directly adjacent to your core type, and subtypes are the instinctual variants (self-preservation, social, and one-to-one/sexual). But I'm curious about how these interact in real-life scenarios. 1. Can anyone share personal experiences or insights on how their wing influences their core type's behavior? For example, does a 7w6 behave significantly differently from a 7w8 in specific situations? 2. How do subtypes further nuance the way your type and wing manifest? If you're a 3 with a self-preservation subtype, how does that look versus a 3 with a social subtype? 3. Have you found that these nuances (wings and subtypes) have changed over time for you, or do they remain pretty consistent? Looking forward to your thoughts and experiences! Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm diving deeper into the Enneagram and wanted to get your insights on wings and subtypes. I understand that wings are the numbers adjacent to your core type and that subtypes (self-preservation, social, and sexual) add another layer of complexity. But I'm curious about a few things: 1. How do you identify your dominant wing and subtype effectively? Are there specific signs or behaviors that made it clear for you? 2. Have you found that your wing or subtype influences you more in certain aspects of your life (e.g., work, relationships, personal growth)? 3. Can someone share their personal experience of how understanding their wing and subtype provided greater clarity or helped them in their Enneagram journey? I'm eager to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance for shedding some light on this intricate topic! 🌟 #Enneagram #Wings #Subtypes #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery

Hello Enneagram enthusiasts! 👋 I'm diving deeper into the fascinating world of Enneagram Wings and Subtypes and could use some insights. I understand that our main Enneagram type is influenced by the neighboring wings and our instinctual subtypes (self-preservation, social, and sexual). However, I'm curious about how strongly these wings and subtypes shape our overall personality and behaviors. 🤔 For example, can the influence of a wing or a specific subtype be stronger in some individuals than the core type itself? How do you identify and balance these aspects within yourself? Any personal experiences or resources that helped you grasp the dynamic interplay between your type, wings, and subtypes would be greatly appreciated! 🌟 Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom and experiences! 😊 #Enneagram #Wings #Subtypes #PersonalityGrowth

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently, and I'm curious about how wings and subtypes interact. Specifically, can you share your insights on how these two elements influence one's primary type? For instance, if someone identifies as a 9w1, how might their social, sexual, or self-preservation subtype further shape their personality and behaviors? I've been reading mixed opinions, and real-life examples or personal experiences would be super helpful! 📚✨ Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and learning from you all. Thanks in advance! 🙏 #Enneagram #Wings #Subtypes

Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm diving deeper into the world of enneagrams and I have a question about wings and subtypes. I understand that each main type can be influenced by one of its neighboring wings (either side of their main number) and that subtypes (self-preservation, one-to-one/sexual, and social) add another layer of complexity. How do you personally identify and embrace your specific wing and subtype? Have you found that one has more of an impact on your behavior and decision-making than the other? Any tips for distinguishing between them and integrating this understanding into personal growth? Thanks in advance for your insights and experiences! 😊

Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram, particularly focusing on wings and subtypes, and I'm curious about how others experience and integrate these aspects. From my understanding, wings can offer additional flavor to our core type, while subtypes (self-preservation, social, and one-to-one) can significantly influence our behaviors and motivations. For those of you who have explored your wings and subtypes: 1. How do you feel your wing influences your core type? For example, if you're a 4w3 vs. a 4w5, what differences do you notice? 2. How do your subtypes play out in your daily life? Do you find one subtype more dominant than the others? 3. Any tips for identifying and balancing these aspects within ourselves? I’m excited to hear your insights and personal experiences! 😊 Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom. #Enneagram #Wings #Subtypes #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth

Hey everyone! 🖐️ I’m diving deep into the Enneagram and trying to understand how wings and subtypes influence personality. I’ve got a couple of burning questions and would love your insights. 🔍 1️⃣ How significant is the impact of your wing on your core type? For example, if you’re a Type 5 with a 6 wing (5w6), how does that change your behavior compared to a 5 with a 4 wing (5w4)? I’d love to hear some personal experiences or examples! 2️⃣ Regarding the subtypes (self-preservation, social, and sexual), how do they interact with your main type and wing? Does one tend to influence you more than the other? Can your subtype change over time, or is it more stable? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experiences! 🌟 Really looking forward to learning more from this community! #Enneagram #PersonalityTypes #Wings #Subtypes #PersonalGrowth
