smileitsfree • 5/14/2024 4:44:22 AM

Hey everyone! 👋 I've recently discovered through some in-depth tests and self-reflection that I classify as an Enneagram Type 8w7. I'm fascinated by the whole concept, but I'd like to gain a more thorough understanding. Particularly, I'm interested to know how this combination (8w7) influences my personality, decision-making, and potential areas for personal growth. Also, how can I channel both my dominant type 8 and wing 7 in a balanced and productive manner in different aspects of life? If anyone else here identifies as an 8w7, how does this manifest in your life on a day-to-day basis? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 😊

Hello Everyone 😀, I'm currently exploring the realm that exists in type 8 with a wing 7 personas (8w7), specifically in the Enneagram system. I've read that these individuals are known to be quite assertive, passionate, and energetic in their pursuits. Yet, they also reputedly have a more sociable, outgoing, and extrovert-ish side that might be attributed to the influence of the wing 7💡. Is there anyone here who identifies as an 8w7? Can you share your personal experiences on how this combination manifests in your life? How do you manage to balance your inherent type 8's assertiveness and need for control against the 7-wing's desire for fun and avoidance of pain? Any recommendations for others who might fall into this category on how to better understand and navigate this type? Your insights and guidance in this area would be truly appreciated. Thanks! Best, [YourName] 🌻

Hello fellow Enneagram enthusiasts! I'm a Type 8 with Wing 7 (8w7) and I'm trying to better understand my personality style. I often read that Type 8s are perceived as intimidating and controlling, while Wing 7 adds a desire for freedom and resistence to constraints. How could these seemingly conflicting aspects interact in one personality? Are there any other 8w7s out there who can give insight on what it's like for you? Do you have any advice for balancing the assertiveness of an 8 with the spontaneity of a 7? Can any experts on the subject share their perspective? All thoughts and experiences welcomed! Thanks! 😊
