This is incredibly accurate for me. Prior to learning about the subtypes, I mistyped as a 2w3 but now my true self is…. 7w8 so/sx/sp. I LOVE all the nuances and variations in personalities that can come when we look at the subtypes. ♥️

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Yes! Love this! ❤️

[@sirbradfordofhousejones]

5:50 yes, I was very much a goody two shoes as a teenager. This lead to some pretty bad anxiety, as I was always fighting myself.

[@rainbowkitschen6442]

Same here! 😁

[@pointerdogmarketing2197]

Then you got burned, right?

[@summero-my5in]

omg me too that's why i didn't think i could be a 7 at first but I definitely am

[@MoscowCalling]

Same thing!

Things that make me believe I'm a social 7: Fidgeting and small entertainments, watching things and sort of wanting them but not pursuing them because of the hassle. Not the grand escapes of other sevens. Being an "eye-servant" (is that an expression in English?), doing things when they will be watched to avoid criticism or get praise. Procrastination and "giving myself permission" to enjoyment. Shifting interests. Learning a lot about stuff but not really committing. Reframing bad experiences, sometimes even for others (not always popular). Having all sorts of difficulty with pain, especially the pain of loosing community and communal support. Also, the 5 definitely feels like my paradise lost, being a thoughtful, thinking child sort of turning into a distracted adult.

7w6 SO/SX Wow! This video explains a lot. Some of this I knew but you definitely said some things I hadn't heard before about the 7 countertype. I always feel like there's a battle between my 7ness and that 6 wing. Only occasionally does my 7 really seem to go into overdrive. One recent time this happened was as I was being wheeled down a hallway in the hospital. I noticed I was really close to the ceiling and there was a sudden urge to reach up and touch the ceiling...I didn't actually do it but there was a mischievous smile under my mask as I was thinking it. Then I caught sight of the silver things on the ceiling so you can see around corners and I thought "ooh, I wonder if I could take my pic in one as I'm rolling by". I didn't do that either but I thought it was hilarious how I seemed to suddenly turn into that fun loving kid as I'm being wheeled into the hospital. The one thing I did give into was deciding to be "the entertainer" for all the nurses that came into my room. Not saying I want to repeat the experience but hey, you might as well have all the fun you can in a bad situation, right?

[@minaries8811]

just what i needed lol! i recently just typed myself as a 7 but i’m having doubts because i don’t see myself as one. perfect timing for this video!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Yay!!!

[@sirbradfordofhousejones]

Thanks for this video- you really captured the essence of the social 7. I have been anxiously awaiting this one because it is mine! 🤪

[@enneagramandcoaching]

You are so welcome! I’m so glad you liked it!

[@pointerdogmarketing2197]

This WAS me, but I finally burnt out and changed a lot.

[@joris2982]

Thank you. I've been waiting for this. 😆

[@enneagramandcoaching]

You’re so welcome!

[@MajorieRoyal]

Very interesting.. I thought I was a 8w7 social so countertype of the 8 for a long time but now looking at my mindset I am definitely a 7w8 social... I have this helping others thing but not to put it on my back.. I want to empire people to be strong and so find their happiness heal their pain because this makes me so sad that we suffer so much but I want this autonomy on others so they leave me alone and stop depending on me or asking for help ahah so I help for that .. or in that teaching autonomy way and saying out loud so people feel less alone being what they are... do I even make sense ahahah But I am not a 2 for sure!.. ahah

[@margaretjudice8944]

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Thanks for watching!

[@MoscowCalling]

I hate food, I want it to disappear forever from the earth because I want to eat all the time, I've never felt like I'm not hungry. This is so annoying that you can forget to breathe but you never forget to think about food. I think I'm a social 7. my weight is very small because it's the lifelong fight for me. One day I tried speed and I was like "I don't think about food 1 minute?! THIS is LIFE" (But this was not life) By the way, my friends say I'm a 4 and I thought enneagram was a stupid thing because sadness and jealousy are something that I'm not sure I've ever felt

[@kaytheimpossible1383]

Social 7s can be mistyped as 5s, 4s, 2s, the counter 3, 1s, and even 6s.

[@maxens_is_here]

Maybe you could check if you have something like hyperthyroidism or type 1 diabetes or something. If you are constantly hungry, constantly eating and yet not gaining weight or worse losing it. I hope you are okay. Maybe you're just very active and burning off all your energy.

[@maxens_is_here]

I hope my message wasn't too intrusive, it's just once I got really sick but blamed the symptoms on something else until a friend told me to get checked for anaemia and hypothyroidism. Then I found out I was anaemic 😔 I had rationalised all the symptoms as random stuff.

[@davehilljr.coaching]

Well done

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Thank you!

I'm a 'sunny' 4 with 7 in my subtype (479). I can relate a lot to this. I think the 7 in my subtype must be social. Is it a thing to specify the instinct of each number in one's tritype? If so, I'm a sp4-sx9-so7. One of each. Cool. Lol.

[@tristanortiz511]

This may be too late; but the subtype is consistent all across the numbers. If you are a 7 so/sx with tri-type 479, for example, then all your numbers are so/sx.

[@_linlin_]

@@tristanortiz511 no it isn't consistent everywhere

[@Alien-f8z]

I would have thought the countertype would be Self-preservation. - Tritype 153/513 sp/so

[@NoOne-wt6om]

Sp 7s are the most 7ish 7s.

Ehhhh, this kinda paints the So7 as a pure angel without sin, even though they still have the 7's massive trait of narcissism. So7s are narcissists who come across as generous and kind so they can subtlety satiate their gluttony. Closer to seductive charlatans as opposed to the altruistic angels you portrayed them as. Though, they tend to be much better than most sevens. (ENTP 7w6 793 so/sp btw)

[@MoscowCalling]

Really? I have the lowest score of narcissistic traits, maybe I'm not a 7? But everything in this video fits

[@CoolBurgers23154]

@@MoscowCalling so7s tend not to realise but if you read some of naranjo's stuff mainly then you'll be able to see the more sinister picture, but other authors have a more balanced way of demonstrating so7. Also i'm not even a so7 that was a mistype, i'm sp7 LOL.

[@kaytheimpossible1383]

​@@CoolBurgers23154Naranjo tried to force mental illness on Enneagram. His understanding was wrong.

[@CoolBurgers23154]

@@kaytheimpossible1383 i mean he was trying to show the extremes of a character, most people thinking is more extreme than they'll actually show or even know consciously a lot of the time, naranjos work kinda shows what the subtypes like actually want to do. At least naranjo is far better than riso and hudson (enneagram institute) who end up creating very rudimentary and basic descriptions of the types for the sake of being commercialised

[@kaytheimpossible1383]

@@CoolBurgers23154 I'm sorry but equating 7s to narcissism, schizophrenia, and bipolar are not extremes. They're blatantly ableist. Most people disregard his work as false.
