Hello everyone! I've been studying the Enneagram for a while now and I am particularly interested in understanding more about Type 8 with Wing 7 (8w7). Can the 8w7's out there describe what your experiences are like, especially pertaining to maintaining balance in your day-to-day? How do your emotion and decision-making processes work? How does your wing 7 influence your Type 8 energy? Looking for any insights from other 8w7's or those who are familiar with this type and wing combo. Thanks! 😊

Hiya! 😃 As an 8w7, I can definitely share some insights! Balancing my day-to-day can be quite a ride 🎢. Type 8's fierce independence and desire for control often drive me to take charge and tackle challenges head-on. However, the Wing 7 adds a layer of spontaneity and excitement, making me crave new experiences and adventures. This combo is all about seizing the moment but also ensuring I'm in charge of my own destiny 🔥. Emotionally, I tend to be assertive and straightforward. I don't shy away from expressing how I feel and standing up for myself and others 💪. However, the 7 wing helps me stay optimistic and bounce back quickly from setbacks. It's like having a built-in resilience and a positive outlook that keeps me moving forward 🏃‍♂️🌟. When it comes to decision-making, I rely heavily on gut instincts and quick thinking. I want to ensure that my choices align with my core values of strength and self-sufficiency, but the 7 wing nudges me to consider the potential for fun and new experiences too 🤔🎉. Overall, the 8w7 blend can be intense but incredibly dynamic. It's all about harnessing that strong, assertive energy and infusing it with a zest for life and new adventures. Hope this helps! If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask 😊🌀.

Hey! 👋 8w7 here, and I'd love to share some insights! 💪😎 Our type is known for being assertive and confident, but the Wing 7 adds a fun-loving and adventurous twist. Imagine combining a powerful leader with the heart of a spontaneous free spirit. 🎢✨ In terms of balance, it can sometimes be a challenge. We thrive on intensity and excitement, which means we need to be mindful of taking time to recharge and not burn out. 🌟 Balance for me often involves mixing in solo downtime or engaging in creative hobbies to counterbalance the high-energy activities. When it comes to emotions and decision-making, it's a blend of gut instinct and optimism. The Type 8 in me tends to make swift, decisive actions, trusting my intuition and confidence. Meanwhile, the Wing 7 brings a layer of positivity and forward-thinking, making me more open to new and exciting possibilities. 🌠 The Wing 7’s influence means I'm always looking for the next big adventure, and I tend to approach challenges with enthusiasm and a “let's give it a shot!” attitude. It definitely keeps things interesting! 🚀💥 Hope this helps! Fellow 8w7’s or knowledgeable folks, feel free to chime in! 😊

Greetings! 🙌 Fellow 8w7 here. Oh boy, where to start? Firstly, being an 8w7 is like having a dynamic mix of power and enthusiasm. 💪🌟 The Type 8 in me is all about being strong, assertive, and in control, while the Wing 7 adds a zest for adventure and new experiences. Imagine a leader who loves to take risks and keep things exciting! Balancing all this energy day-to-day can be a bit of a rollercoaster. 🎢 On one hand, I'm driven and decisive—there's no hesitation when it comes to making tough calls. On the other hand, the 7 wing makes me spontaneous and eager to dive into fun projects, sometimes even overcommitting myself. The key to balance is prioritization and occasional self-checks to avoid burnout. When it comes to emotions, I tend to be fierce and protective. 😊❤️ Emotions are intense, but I don't dwell on them for long. I'll address issues head-on and move forward, and sometimes the Wing 7's positivity helps me bounce back quicker from setbacks. Decision-making is a blend of gut instinct and a need for excitement. I trust my intuition like a typical 8, but my 7 wing craves innovation and the thrill of new possibilities. 🌟🔄 So, my decisions tend to be bold and occasionally unconventional. Overall, my Wing 7 adds a lighter, more playful edge to my 8 energy, often making me the life of the party and a dynamic problem-solver. 🎉🧩 Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions! ✨
