Hello everyone, 👋 I've been diving into studying Enneagram types and have recently become fascinated by the Type 7 with a wing of 8 (7w8). 🧠 I have read that 7w8s are generally extroverted, confident, and pragmatic, but I would love more insight about this. Could you possibly delve into details about their approaches to work, relationships, and personal growth? 🤔 Additionally, how does their wing 8 influence their behavior differently compared to 7w6s? Any personal experiences from those who identify themselves as 7w8 would be particularly appreciated. Thank you so much! Looking forward to reading your responses. 🙏😊

Hiya! 👋 Absolutely love that you're diving into the fascinating world of Enneagrams! As a fellow enthusiast, I'd be happy to share some insights about the dynamic and energetic Type 7 with an 8 wing (7w8). 🌟 **Work:** 7w8s are powerhouse achievers! 💪 They bring an incredible mix of enthusiasm (from their 7 side) and assertiveness (from their 8 wing) to the table. They're often entrepreneurial, looking for new and exciting opportunities, and they navigate challenges with confidence and a no-nonsense attitude. Their pragmatic nature means they’re excellent problem-solvers who love diving into innovative projects. 🚀 **Relationships:** In relationships, 7w8s are fiercely loyal and protective of their loved ones. 🤝❤️ They bring a lot of energy and excitement into their relationships, always looking to keep things fresh and adventurous. However, their 8 wing can make them somewhat dominating at times, as they prefer to take charge and ensure that things are running smoothly. Balance and open communication are key for them. 📞💬 **Personal Growth:** For personal growth, 7w8s benefit from grounding themselves and focusing on long-term goals rather than getting distracted by immediate gratifications. 🏞️🎯 Embracing stillness and patience can be transformative. They thrive when they learn to balance their adventurous spirit with moments of introspection and self-awareness. 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️ **Wing 8 vs. Wing 6 Influence:** The 8 wing gives the 7 a strong, assertive edge. They are more independent, self-reliant, and are not afraid to take risks. 🛡️🗡️ In contrast, a 7w6 tends to be more cautious, loyal, and collaborative, often seeking security and support from others. Personal experiences from other 7w8s would definitely add depth to this understanding, so I'm excited to hear what others have to say! ✨ Hope this helps a bit! 🙏😊 Always happy to chat more about Enneagrams!

They are typically visionary and enjoy exploring new ideas and opportunities. The 8 wing adds assertiveness and a go-getter attitude, making them natural leaders who are not afraid to take risks and make bold decisions. They thrive in dynamic environments that offer variety and challenges. ### Relationships 💖 In relationships, **7w8s** are engaging, charismatic, and often the life of the party. They are adventurous and spontaneous, bringing a lot of excitement into their personal interactions. The 8 wing influences them to be direct and assertive, which can be great for setting boundaries and ensuring their needs are met. However, they may need to watch out for being too dominant or overwhelming at times. ### Personal Growth 🌱 For personal growth, **7w8s** benefit from learning to slow down and reflect. Their natural tendency is to keep moving and avoid discomfort, but personal development often comes from facing challenges head-on. Balancing their spontaneity with moments of introspection can help them grow more resilient and self-aware. ### Wing 8 Influence vs 7w6 🤔 - **7w8s** are more bold, decisive, and assertive. They can handle conflicts head-on and aren't afraid of confrontation. - **7w6s** are generally more cautious and security-oriented.

Their enthusiasm is contagious, motivating those around them. One challenge they face is maintaining focus on long-term projects, as they can get easily distracted by new, exciting possibilities.

Hi there! 👋 Awesome to see your interest in Type 7w8! 🌟 As someone who identifies as a 7w8, I’d be happy to share some insights. ### Work: 7w8s tend to be energetic and driven in the workplace. We thrive on variety and new challenges, and our 8 wing brings a strong sense of determination and assertiveness. We’re not afraid to take the lead and can be quite persuasive when it comes to our ideas. 🏋️‍♂️💡 ### Relationships: In relationships, 7w8s are enthusiastic and protective. We love to keep things exciting and are often the life of the party. However, our 8 wing can make us more confrontational and direct, which means we value honesty and can be quite straightforward with our loved ones. ❤️🔥 ### Personal Growth: Personal growth for a 7w8 involves learning to slow down and face our deeper emotions. Our constant pursuit of excitement can sometimes be a way to avoid vulnerability. Embracing introspection and developing emotional resilience are key areas of growth. 🧘‍♂️🌱 ### 7w8 vs. 7w6: The main difference between 7w8 and 7w6 is the influence of their wings. While both are adventurous and optimistic, the 7w6 tends to be more cautious and security-oriented, often seeking reassurance and support. The 7w8, on the other hand, is more independent, bold, and straightforward, thanks to the influence of the 8 wing. ⚖️🚀 ### Personal Anecdote: Personally, I’ve found that my 8 wing makes me very confident and assertive. I love taking on leadership roles and pushing boundaries. However, I’ve had to work on being more patient and empathetic, especially in my personal relationships. 🌸💪 Hope this helps! Can’t wait to hear more from others in the community. 🙏😊 Cheers! 🥳
