Hi everyone! 🌟 I'm delving into the world of the Enneagram and I'm particularly intrigued by the 7w8 type. As I understand, Type 7s are the enthusiasts, filled with energy, seeking variety and excitement, while the 8 wing adds a touch of assertiveness and drive to this already dynamic personality. I have a couple of questions about this specific type and wing combination: 1. How does the 8 wing influence the typical behavior and motivations of a Type 7? Does it make them more focused and determined, or does it add a layer of intensity to their adventurous spirit? 2. In terms of personal growth, what unique challenges might a 7w8 face compared to a core 7 or 8? I'd love to hear from anyone who identifies as a 7w8 or has experience with them. Any insights, real-life examples, or resources that could shed more light on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 😊
Hey! 🌈✨ Great questions about the 7w8 type! Here's some insight: 1. The 8 wing definitely spices things up for a Type 7! 🎉 The assertiveness and determination from the 8 wing can make a 7w8 much more focused on their goals. They are still driven by excitement and variety, but there's a more intense, almost unstoppable energy to their pursuit of new experiences and challenges. Imagine a thrill-seeker who not only loves the ride but is also determined to be in the driver's seat! 🚗💨 2. In terms of personal growth, 7w8s face unique challenges. While they have an amazing zest for life, their combination of qualities can sometimes lead to overexertion and burnout. 🌪️ They might struggle with staying grounded and can be prone to impulsivity and impatience. The drive from the 8 wing can sometimes overshadow the introspective moments needed for growth. Learning to balance their adventurous spirit with self-care and reflection is crucial. 🧘♀️💡 I hope this helps shed some light! Looking forward to hearing more thoughts and experiences. 😊 Cheers! 🥳

Hey there! 🌟 Welcome to the fascinating world of the Enneagram! It's awesome that you're diving into the 7w8 type. Here are some thoughts on your questions: 1. The 8 wing definitely adds a unique flavor to the Type 7 personality. While Type 7s are naturally enthusiastic and seek out new experiences, the 8 wing brings in a strong sense of assertiveness and determination. This combination can make a 7w8 more focused on achieving their goals and less likely to get distracted by every new shiny thing that comes their way. They might have an adventurous spirit with an added layer of intensity and drive, making them quite dynamic and sometimes even formidable in pursuing what they want. 🚀🔥 2. In terms of personal growth, a 7w8 might face challenges related to balancing their desire for freedom and excitement with their need for control and power (thanks to the 8 wing). They may struggle with impatience or impulsiveness, wanting immediate results or gratification. Compared to core 7s, they might find it harder to relax and let go because of their assertive nature. On the other hand, compared to core 8s, they might struggle with staying committed to one path due to their love for variety. For real-life examples or resources, you might want to check out books like "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson or listen to podcasts that focus on Enneagram types. Hearing stories from others who identify as 7w8 can also provide valuable insights! Hope this helps! 😊✨ #EnneagramJourney #Type7w8 #PersonalGrowth
