Hey everyone 🙋♀️ I've recently discovered I'm a 6w7 on the Enneagram type and I'm hoping to get a deeper understanding 😊 I gravitate toward both types 6 and 7 traits, with a stronger inclination towards 6. I often find myself being loyal and skeptical (type 6) but also enthusiastic & adventurous at times (type 7). Anyone who can share their experiences being a 6w7? What strengths and challenges have you faced due to this combination? Additionally, I'm eager to understand how the 7 wing influences the behavior pattern of my core type 6. I’d deeply appreciate resources or valuable insights from you seasoned 6w7s. Thanks in advance! 🌺

Hey 👋 Welcome to the world of Enneagram 6w7 exploration! 🌍 As a 6w7 myself, the best way I can describe it is being in a constant juggle between security and adventure 🎯 We love adventure, but need to feel secure too; a mixed bag of fun and caution, I'd say 😄 One strength is definitely our loyalty 👫 We're the kind of people who stick by our friends through thick and thin 🤝 On the flip side, this combo can also lead to anxiety since we're always anticipating problems 👀 A 7 wing adds a dash of excitement and adventure to our core type 6. While we may stress about uncertainties, we strive to keep things light and look at the brighter side ☀️ Reading books on Enneagram 📚 and participating in discussions here helped me a lot. One book I'd recommend is "The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge" by Beatrice Chestnut 📖 The journey to understanding your type is a beautiful one. Enjoy every bit of it! 🎈 Happy exploring, fellow 6w7!

Hello there! 🙋♂️ So cool that you've discovered you're a 6w7! As a fellow 6w7, I can definitely resonate with your traits description 😃 Being loyal yet skeptical, enthusiastic yet adventurous, it's quite a balanced personality in my opinion. In terms of strengths, our type tends to be excellent in crisis situations 😎 We're able to anticipate problems and come up with solutions quickly! As for challenges, the main struggle I face is anxiety, as we tend to worry about the future due to our ‘worst-case scenario’ thinking 😞 The 7 wing essentially makes us more sociable and extroverted than the traditional 6’s. We're definitely a bit more open to new experiences and often seek variety and excitement in our lives 🎢 Here's a tip: observe your behavioral patterns and learn about your triggers. This will help you gain a better understanding of your enneagram type and how it influences your daily life 🕵️♂️ There's an amazing book called "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson. It's been one of the best resources for my journey. Also, podcasts like "The Enneagram Journey" or "Typology" often bring valuable insights about our type. Stay curious, and continue exploring! 📚🌍🎧 Welcome to the adventurous journey of self-understanding 😊👏🎉
Greetings! 🙋♂️ Welcome to the 6w7 club! 🎉 As a fellow 6w7, I can totally relate to what you're experiencing. 😊 Our type is such an interesting blend of loyalty and skepticism from the 6, mixed with the enthusiasm and spontaneity of the 7. It can be quite the rollercoaster! 🎢 **Strengths:** 🌟 1. **Adaptability:** Our 7 wing helps us be more flexible and open to new experiences, which can be a great asset in unpredictable situations. 🌍 2. **Energetic Loyalty:** We bring a combination of excitement and steadfastness to our relationships, making us reliable yet fun friends and partners. 😊💪 3. **Curious Minds:** Our innate skepticism makes us question things, while the 7’s curiosity drives us to explore and learn more. 🔍🧠 **Challenges:** 😅 1. **Anxiety:** The core type 6 anxiety can be quite strong, sometimes overshadowing the more carefree nature of the 7. 😬 2. **Indecisiveness:** Balancing caution with adventure can lead to indecisiveness, making it tough to choose a path and stick to it. 🤔 3. **Overcommitting:** The 7 wing drives us to seek out new experiences, often leading to overcommitment, which can cause stress. 🗓️😓 The 7 wing definitely adds a layer of zest to our cautious nature. It can help in lightening the mood when things get too intense and encourages us to take more risks, which can lead to personal growth. 🌱✨ But it's important to find that balance to not get overwhelmed. For resources, I recommend checking out "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson 📚 and joining Enneagram groups where you can share and learn from collective experiences. 🌐 Happy enneagram journey! 🌈 Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences. 😃🗣️ Take care, A fellow 6w7 🌼

It's an interesting and dynamic combination! 😊 ### Strengths: 1. **Reliability & Trustworthiness**: Your core type 6 brings a solid foundation of loyalty and dependability.

We love bringing joy and fun to our circles! 🎉 3. **Problem-solving**: Being skeptical yet enthusiastic helps us tackle challenges creatively and with a positive outlook. 🧠✨ ### Challenges: 1. **Anxiety Management**: That 6-type worry sometimes competes with our desire for new experiences, leading to moments of indecision or anxiety. 😬 2. **Overcommitment**: With our enthusiasm from the 7 wing, we might bite off more than we can chew, leading to burnout if we're not careful. 🏃♂️💨 3. **Balancing Act**: It can be tricky to find the right balance between cautious planning and spontaneous adventure. ⚖️ ### Insights: - The 7 wing helps soften some of the 6's more intense anxieties by encouraging light-heartedness and spontaneity. 🌈 - Leaning into mindfulness practices can help mitigate some of the stress and anxiety. Meditation or even simple breathing exercises can be really grounding. 🧘♀️ - Building a strong, supportive community is key. We're social creatures who thrive on connections, after all! 🤗 For resources, I'd recommend diving into books like "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson, and exploring online communities for shared discussions. 📚💻 Nice to see another 6w7 here! 🌟 Feel free to reach out anytime if you need more insights or just want to chat about our unique type combo! 😊
Hey! 🙋♂️ Welcome to the 6w7 club! It’s awesome that you’re diving into your Enneagram type. As a fellow 6w7, I can totally resonate with what you’re saying! 🌟 Being a 6w7 can feel like a balancing act 🏄♀️. On one hand, our core 6 brings that loyalty and skepticism, always looking out for potential pitfalls 🕵️♀️. On the other hand, the 7 wing injects that zest for life, making us more adventurous and spontaneous 🎢. **Strengths:** 1. **Adaptability:** We blend cautious planning with spontaneous action, which helps us navigate various situations smoothly 🌐. 2. **Loyalty with Enthusiasm:** Our relationships often benefit from our unwavering support combined with a fun-loving vibe 🤗. 3. **Problem-Solving:** The skeptical side helps in identifying issues, while the 7 wing adds creativity in solving them 🧩. **Challenges:** 1. **Anxiety vs. Impulsiveness:** Sometimes, our cautious side gets into a tug-of-war with our adventurous side, causing internal conflict 😅. 2. **Over-Commitment:** Our enthusiasm may lead us to take on more than we can handle, only to feel overwhelmed later 🌪️. 3. **Trust Issues:** Balancing skepticism with openness can be tricky, making it hard to trust sometimes 🤔. **7 Wing Influence:** Your 7 wing likely makes you more outgoing and optimistic, compared to those who are strong in core 6 traits alone. This might lead you to seek new experiences and adventure, helping you break away from the constant worry and anxieties of type 6 🌟. **Resources:** - **Books:** "The Complete Enneagram" by Beatrice Chestnut is fantastic 📚. - **Podcasts:** Check out "The Enneagram Journey" – they have episodes specifically on 6w7 🎧. - **Forums/Groups:** Being active here and other Enneagram communities can give you varied perspectives from those living the 6w7 life 🌐.
