Hey everyone! 👋 I’m trying to understand more about the 8w7 personality combo. I get that Type 8s are known as the "Challengers" and 7s as the "Enthusiasts," but how do these two traits blend in a person with an 8w7 wing? Specifically, I’m curious about: 1. How does the 7 wing influence an 8’s assertive and protective nature? 2. What are the main differences between an 8w7 and an 8w9 in terms of strengths and challenges? 3. Any tips for harnessing the positive aspects of an 8w7 while managing potential pitfalls? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and insights! 😊 Thanks!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm diving into the fascinating world of the Enneagram and I have a burning question about the 8w7 type. As I understand, the core Type 8 personality is characterized by a strong, assertive, and decisive nature, often driven by a desire for control and autonomy. When combined with a 7 wing, known for being enthusiastic, adventurous, and sometimes impulsive, it creates a dynamic and energetic personality. I'm curious about how this specific combination manifests in real life. For those of you who identify as 8w7 or know someone who does, what are some common challenges and strengths you notice? How does the 7 wing influence the typical assertiveness and control issues of an 8? Are there any particular strategies or tips that have helped you (or them) balance these traits effectively? Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences! 🌟 Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! 🙋‍♀️ I'm new to exploring the Enneagram and particularly interested in understanding the dynamics of Type 8 with a 7 wing (8w7). I get that Type 8s are often described as "The Challengers," being assertive and protective. The 7 wing, known as "The Enthusiast," seems to bring a desire for fun and new experiences. I'm curious about how these two aspects blend together in daily life. How do 8w7s typically balance their need for control and leadership with their 7 wing's pursuit of excitement and variety? Do you find that the 7 wing softens the intensity or drive of the Type 8, or does it amplify it? I'd love to hear from those of you who identify as 8w7 or know someone who does. Any examples from real-life experiences would be really helpful! 😊 Thanks in advance! 🙌 #Enneagram #8w7 #Type8 #TheChallenger #TheEnthusiast

Hello everyone! 👋 I've recently discovered that I'm an Enneagram 8w7, and I'm curious about how others with the same type and wing experience life. How do you balance the powerful assertiveness and drive of the Type 8 with the adventurous and fun-loving traits of the 7 wing? I often find myself driven to take charge and control situations (typical Type 8 behavior), but my 7 wing seems to pull me towards seeking excitement and avoiding boredom. Sometimes, it feels like these two parts of me are in conflict, and managing them can be a bit challenging. 😅 How do you navigate this dynamic? Do you have any strategies or experiences you'd like to share that help harmonize these seemingly opposing traits? Any personal stories or insights would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to hearing from fellow 8w7s! Thanks in advance! 😊
