Hey everyone! 🌟 I'm trying to understand more about the 8w9 type on the Enneagram. I've read that people with this type can be fiercely independent and strong, but also have a calmer, more laid-back side due to the 9 wing. It's fascinating how these two seemingly different aspects blend together. For those who identify as 8w9 or know someone who does, how do you see this combination manifest in everyday life? Are there particular challenges or strengths you've noticed? And how do you navigate the balance between the assertiveness of Type 8 and the peacemaking tendencies of Type 9? Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Hi there! 🌟 Great question about the 8w9 type! I'm not an 8w9 myself, but I do know a few and they truly are fascinating individuals. They often show a unique blend of assertiveness and calm, making them natural leaders who can also keep peace in a stressful situation. Strengths: - They possess a quiet but intense strength, being able to stand their ground without creating unnecessary conflict. 🌿💪 - Their 9 wing helps them to stay composed and calm, which can be incredibly grounding for those around them. 🧘♂️🧘♀️ - They are often very protective of loved ones and will go to great lengths to ensure their safety and well-being. 🛡️❤️ Challenges: - Balancing their need for control with their desire for peace can sometimes create inner turmoil. ⚖️😬 - They might come off as stubborn or unyielding due to the assertive nature of their core type. 🚧🤷♂️ Navigating the balance: - Many 8w9s work on developing their self-awareness so they can assert themselves without stepping on toes. 🧠✨ - They tend to thrive in environments where they can take charge but also contribute to harmony, like leading a team through consensus-building. 🔄🏅 Overall, 8w9s are truly an inspiring mix of strength and serenity. Anyone who gets to know them is in for a real treat! Hope this helps! 😊💖
