Hi everyone! 🤗 I’m really curious to learn more about the 7w8 type on the Enneagram. I understand that core Type 7 is known for being adventurous, enthusiastic, and a seeker of new experiences, while the 8 wing adds a layer of assertiveness and decisiveness. For those of you who identify as 7w8 or know someone who does, how do you see the influence of the 8 wing manifesting in daily life? Do you find that it helps balance the 7’s tendency to avoid pain and discomfort, or does it sometimes lead to even more intense desires for control and excitement? Additionally, how do you feel the 8 wing impacts relationships and career choices? Are there particular challenges or strengths that stand out? Looking forward to hearing your insights! 😊 #Enneagram #Type7w8 #Personality #SelfDiscovery

Hi there! 😊 As a 7w8 myself, I'd love to share some insights! The 8 wing definitely adds a bold twist to the adventurous spirit of the 7. 💪 In daily life, I often find that the assertiveness from the 8 wing can help me push through discomfort more readily. Instead of just seeking to avoid pain, I face challenges head-on and use my enthusiasm to propel me forward. 🚀✨ However, that same assertiveness can sometimes fuel an even stronger desire for control and excitement – it's like a double-edged sword. 🔥🗡️ There are times when I have to remind myself to slow down and not overwhelm others with my intensity. When it comes to relationships, the 8 wing can make me fiercely loyal and protective of my loved ones. ❤️🤝 But, I do need to be mindful not to come off as too domineering. Balancing the need for freedom with the desire for deep connections can be a challenge. In terms of career choices, the adventurous 7 side makes me want to explore diverse opportunities and take risks, while the 8 wing’s decisiveness helps me be a strong leader. 🌟📈 The blend can be powerful, but I need to stay cautious of not overcommitting or becoming too controlling. Hope this gives you some clarity! Looking forward to hearing more from everyone. 😊🌈 #Enneagram #7w8 #PersonalityJourney #Insights

Hi there! 👋 Exciting conversation topic! As a 7w8 myself, I can definitely share some experiences. For daily life, the 8 wing does bring a good mix to the playful and adventure-seeking nature of the 7. I find that the assertiveness of the 8 helps me push through obstacles to achieve my goals 🏔️. It can indeed balance the 7's tendency to avoid pain by driving me to face challenges head-on 💪. However, the 8's influence can sometimes amplify the desire for control and intensity, making the quest for excitement even more pronounced 🔥. In relationships, the 8 wing helps bring a protective and loyal side, ensuring that those I care about are well taken care of ❤️. But it can also make me a bit uncompromising and independent, which sometimes needs conscious effort to manage 🧩. As for career choices, the combination of adventurousness and assertiveness makes 7w8s thrive in dynamic and demanding roles 🎢. We’re often drawn to leadership positions where innovation and bold decisions are valued 🚀. The challenge is to avoid getting bored or feeling confined in repetitive or too-structured environments 🌀. Overall, the blend of 7’s enthusiasm and 8’s decisiveness creates a vibrant, driven, and resilient personality. Hope this helps! 😄 #7w8Vibes #EmbraceTheAdventure #DynamicDuo

Hi there! 🤗 Great questions! As a 7w8 myself, I can definitely share some insights. The 8 wing definitely adds a strong layer of assertiveness and determination to the natural enthusiasm and adventurous spirit of a 7. 💪✨ In daily life, you might notice that 7w8s are not only eager to seek out new experiences but also to take charge and make things happen. This can indeed balance the typical 7 avoidance of pain by encouraging us to confront challenges head-on rather than just escape from them. However, it can also sometimes lead to a bit of a "need for speed" attitude, where the desire for control and excitement is ramped up. 🏎️💨 When it comes to relationships, the 8 wing can make us fiercely loyal and protective of our loved ones. But it can also mean we're a bit more prone to confrontations if we feel threatened or if our independence is at stake. Balancing that assertiveness with the natural charm and social nature of the 7 is key. ❤️🛡️ In terms of career, 7w8s often thrive in roles that allow for both creativity and leadership. We’re great in dynamic environments where we can innovate and push the envelope while also directing and influencing others. Some challenges might include a tendency to take on too much or struggle with boredom in routine tasks. But our ability to stay energized and motivate others is a big strength! 🚀👩‍💼 Hope this gives you some useful insights! 😊 Looking forward to hearing from other 7w8s out there. #Type7w8 #LifeAsA7w8 #EnthusiasticLeader

Hi there! 🤗 As a 7w8, I've noticed a few key dynamics that might help give you some insight. ✨ The 8 wing definitely brings a strong dose of assertiveness and decisiveness to the table. Where Type 7s are always on the lookout for the next big adventure 🌏, the 8 wing ensures we're more likely to take charge and make those adventures happen 💪. It’s not just about dreaming big, but also executing those plans with confidence and power. 😊 In terms of balancing the 7's tendency to avoid pain, the 8 wing can be a mixed bag. On one hand, the 8's boldness can help confront challenges head-on rather than avoiding them, which can be super helpful. But on the flip side, it can also lead to an even more intense pursuit of control and excitement, which sometimes means skating on the edge 🌟. ❤️ When it comes to relationships, the assertiveness of the 8 wing can mean we're fiercely loyal and protective of our loved ones. However, it can also sometimes feel a bit overwhelming for partners who might not match our intensity. Clear communication is key! 🗣️ 💼 In careers, 7w8s often thrive in dynamic environments where they can both innovate and lead. We tend to do well in roles that require both creativity and determination—think entrepreneurs, leaders, and roles in fast-paced industries. Our challenge can often be in sticking with one path long enough to see it through, but our passion and drive are undeniable strengths. Hope that helps! 😊 Looking forward to hearing more from others too! #Enneagram #Type7w8 #Insights #PersonalGrowth

Greetings! 👋😊 As a fellow Enneagram enthusiast, I love diving into the unique dynamics of each type. For 7w8s, the combination of the adventurous spirit of Type 7 😃 and the assertiveness of Type 8 💪 can create a really interesting and dynamic personality. Here's my take based on personal experience and observation: **1. Influence in Daily Life:** The 8 wing can bring a certain boldness and decisiveness to the typical 7 energy. While 7s might avoid discomfort, the 8 wing can push them to confront issues head-on instead of dodging them. This can be super empowering, but it can also lead to a desire for more control and intense experiences. 🚀 **2. Balancing Tendencies:** In terms of balance, the 8’s assertiveness can help manage the 7’s inclination to evade painful situations. It can provide a groundedness and a more pragmatic approach to handling life's challenges. However, there can be a constant push-pull between seeking new thrills and maintaining control. 🎢 **3. Impact on Relationships:** In relationships, 7w8s are often seen as exciting and passionate partners. Their assertive side means they’re clear about their needs and boundaries, which can be a strength. On the flip side, that same assertiveness can sometimes come across as domineering if not kept in check. Finding a balance is key! ❤️💪 **4. Career Choices:** Career-wise, 7w8s thrive in environments that allow for spontaneity and leadership. They tend to excel in fields that combine innovation with a bit of risk-taking, like entrepreneurship, entertainment, or any role that involves negotiation and strategic thinking. Their decisiveness is a major asset, though occasionally they might struggle with routine tasks. 🚀👩‍💼✨ **Challenges and Strengths:** - **Challenges:** Managing the intensity of their desires and balancing the need for control with moments of vulnerability. - **Strengths:** Bold decision-making, adventurous approach to life, and the ability to lead with enthusiasm and confidence. Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing other insights! 😊🙌 #Enneagram #7w8 #AdventureAwaits #BoldMoves
