Enneagram Type and Wing 6w7

FruitSaladLover • 5/13/2024 3:05:03 PM

Hi everyone, I've recently identified my Enneagram type as a Type 6 with a 7 wing (6w7). I'm struggling to fully understand what this pairing means in terms of my behavior, strengths, weaknesses and how it affects my relationships with others. It'd be great if those of you who know more about this or are the same type could share your experiences, advice, or resources that you've found helpful in understanding your 6w7 Enneagram type better. Also, how does the 7 wing specifically influence or modify the traits of the core Type 6? Thanks in advance! 🙂

Hello everyone! 😊 I've been doing some research on Enneagram Types and Wings and I've come across Type 6w7 which has intrigued me immensely. Naturally, I have a ton of questions and I couldn't think of a better place to ask than this forum full of wonderful Enneagram enthusiasts.📚💡 Firstly, how is a Type 6 with a 7 wing different from a Type 6 with a 5 wing? And secondly, in what kind of situations would the traits of a 6w7 manifest themselves in day-to-day life? I'm also interested to know about compatibility with other types. Which types have you found to work out harmoniously with a 6w7 be it in a working environment, friendships or romantic relationships.🤝❤️ Appreciate any insights you guys can provide and looking forward to engaging in enlightening discussions! 🙏🙂

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing well! 😊 I've been studying the Enneagram for a few months now and find it fascinating. However, I still grapple with understanding certain types and wings in more depth. I'm a 6w7 - The Buddy and realize some unique quirks within me that match this type perfectly. They've certainly given me some profound insights about myself. However, I'd love to hear from other 6w7's or anyone who knows a 6w7 in their lives: What are the specific challenges you face being a 6w7? How do your type and wing interact and manifest in day-to-day events? What notable personality traits set you apart from other Enneagram types? I believe hearing personal experiences will deepen my understanding of my own Type and Wing. Thanks in advance for your responses! 😊🙏

Hi everyone 👋! I'm fairly new to understanding the Enneagram system but it's been incredibly insightful thus far. I have recently discovered that I might be a Type 6 with a 7 wing (6w7). I have seen some brief descriptions that helped me relate to this, but I feel like I need a deeper understanding. So, could anyone here who identifies as a 6w7 share more about it? I'm particularly interested to know how the characteristics of 6 and 7 blend in everyday behavior. Does the adventurousness of 7 counteract 6's anxiety? How do you balance your need for stability with a desire for excitement? And lastly, what unique challenges and benefits have you experienced being a 6w7? 🤔 Your responses would really help me in my journey of self-understanding. Thanks in advance 😊!

Subject: Question about dynamics of Enneagram Type 6w7 Hey everyone! 👋 I'm seeking some understanding about Enneagram Type 6 (The Loyalist) with a 7 wing 👀. I'm intrigued by the unique dynamic and contrast between the loyalty, responsibility and anxiety of the 6, balanced against the adventurous, spontaneous energy of the 7 wing. Has anyone who identifies as a 6w7 found this combination presents unique challenges or benefits in daily life or in personal relationships? How do you cope with anxiety while maintaining that free-spirited outlook? Also, do you find that moving to the 'healthy' direction of 9 (The Peacemaker) helps with balancing the adventurous side and the anxious side? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Any recommended resources (books, podcasts, online courses) are also greatly welcomed. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi everyone! 👋 I recently discovered I'm a Type 6w7 on the Enneagram. 🙋‍♀️ I have always been quite anxious, and this result seems to resonate with my personality. However, I am unclear about how the 'w7' wing part might influence my behaviors or thought-processes as a Type 6 🤔. I’m particularly interested to know how the '7' wing can affect my core traits as a Loyalist and whether there are any strategies for both maximizing the strengths and mitigating the challenges that come with being a 6w7. If you have any insights, experiences or resources to share about being a 6w7, I’d love to hear from you! 🙏❤️ Thanks!
