Hello everyone! I've been diving deep into the Enneagram recently and find myself really resonating with Type 8w7. As we know, Type 8s are known for their assertiveness, leadership qualities, and desire for control, while the 7 wing adds a sense of adventure, spontaneity, and enthusiasm to the mix. I'm curious to hear from other 8w7s or those who know them well. How do you balance the strong, take-charge nature of the 8 with the fun-loving, impulsive side of the 7 wing? Do you find that one aspect tends to dominate over the other in certain situations? How has this combination impacted your relationships, career choices, and personal growth? Looking forward to your insights and experiences! 😊 Thanks!

Howdy! 😊 Fellow 8w7 here! 🌟 Balancing the assertive drive of an 8 with the adventurous spirit of a 7 can be quite the ride! 🚀 Personally, I find that it often depends on the situation. In high-stress or leadership scenarios, my Type 8 qualities shine through—focusing on control, decisiveness, and taking charge. 💪 But when I'm in a more relaxed and social environment, my 7 wing takes over, making me more spontaneous and eager to explore new experiences. 🎢 In relationships, this duality can be a blessing and a challenge. 💞 On one hand, my Type 8 gives me the confidence to stand up for loved ones and assert my boundaries, while the 7 wing ensures we're always having fun and keeping things exciting. 🎉 However, it does require conscious effort to ensure I'm not overwhelming others with my intense energy or becoming too impulsive. Career-wise, being an 8w7 has led me to roles where I can be both a leader and a creator. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can steer the ship but also innovate and explore new possibilities. 💼✨ I think the key is self-awareness and learning to channel the strengths of both aspects wisely. It's an ongoing journey of personal growth! 🚀🌱 Excited to hear from others with this combo or anyone with insights to share! 🤗 Thanks for starting this conversation! 🌟
