[@jennajustman]

Enneagram 7w8 here! 💛 I definitely lean into my six wing when I’m experiencing something new or I’m anxious, but eight is my everyday comfort zone

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Oh, I love your self awareness! Thanks for sharing!

[@aliciaseptember]

I'm an 8w7 and just recently started dating a 7w8 (I think... I'm just guessing). Omg..... our relationship is insane so far, in the best ways possible. Never felt this before. We have so much energy, conversation, light hearted fun..... LOVE!

Wow, is strange, when i met 8w7 i usually figth with them xd, i'm 7w8, that need to control of 8 with need to freedom of 7 and don tell what do, when both sick is so caohtic lmao

[@KristinSwaim]

I'm DEFINITELY a 7... I thought I was an 8 wing, but after this video, I'm now sure my 6 wing is MUCH more dominant but I do access my 8 wing when needed.

I’m a 7w8, so strong! I definitely recognize when I’ve been the performing, but I am sooo w8. I am a serious extrovert but am fine being alone and need it to recharge sometimes, and I am assertive and focused when I set my mind on something… i pretty much always get what I want, but not by taking it. I have had MANY traumatic experiences and failed business plans and have never seen them as set backs, only challenges to overcome- and I have always overcome them & come out better. I have a tendency to be jaded, and fall into work and seek productivity when I’m stressed. This video was so insightful!

[@karieanne25]

You are so right. This is life-changing. I have taken about 10 or more enneagram tests and I ALWAYS come out a 7w8. It is uncanny. and very comforting to know I am not 'weird' because I think nothing of popping off on a cross-country trip, no reservations made and you can buy a toothbrush anywhere along the way! Three weeks in Europe alone would be heaven to me😊 It also was VERY helpful to learn that I am an INFP (or ENFP....I am an Ambivert and right on the line between I and E....and was raised by a mom who was ESTJ.....can you imagine how difficult that was?? She did not understand me and I always thought there was 'something wrong' with me and tried so hard to adjust behaviors and fit into the boxes I was supposed to. It is tremendously freeing to know that I am 'ok' and as you said, to love and accept myself and also others.

[@stevenicholas8453]

I believe that I am a 7w6. I love adventure and trying new things, but I want to know that they are going to be safe. I would also 99% of the time want to have fun friends join me in those adventures. I barely see my 8 wing at all (I strongly desire it though!).-Mychelle

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Love it!

[@brooklyndonnigan9679]

i thought it was so interesting when you said, "7w8 wings tend to be more okay w being alone." and i am definitely like that but i thought that was like a bad thing because being alone in the past for me was always a failure to me hahaha (peep the hardworking ambition the 8 wing puts inside of me)... so this makes me feel a lot better!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Oh good!!!!

[@karbear04]

So Im a 5 but I was having a hard time figuring out how I move to 7 in stress.. so when you mentioned the 7w6 in stress, reaching out to avoid the inner struggle, it finally clicked with me. Now I can see when compartmentalization is starting to fail, how I have a tendency to move to outer distractions with social undertones. Thanks a lot! ♡

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Awesome! You’re so welcome!

[@hsgjkhagljkh]

I've been a 7w6 forever, but recently I did some major inner healing and it really reduced my anxiety. Interestingly, I shifted toward the 7w8. I think the inner work just makes it easier for me to balance on both wings.

[@BernardoPatino]

same for me. i felt like a 6w5 for a long time, now a 6w7.

[@darwinwatterson4568]

7w8, inner healing led me to accept family connections with the 6 wing.

[@live.travel.]

Thanks so much! Definitely helped me understand myself better. I've usually always had 2 jobs but when I'm only working 1 I always manage to keep myself busy but it never phased me. I love, love, love to travel and mostly solo trips- go skydiving/trekking. More of a 7w8, I feel like an extroverted introvert- like I need down/alone time to recharge but love to be with friends/social and in busy cities!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Love this! Thanks for sharing!

[@intuitiveeatingmama]

I appreciate that you did a previous interview with a 7 so I could have a reference of the type!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

I love this! Thank you! ❤️

[@meganpalombaro2774]

Wow! I've been trying to figure out my wing for months and this is the first video to put it in a way that clicked for me. I'm definitely a 7w6 day to day, but I also tap into my w8 sometimes: like when I'm in the thick of an intense work project where I have a lot of passion and focus, also occasionally when my introverted side comes out and I need time alone to recharge. Thanks for this!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Yes! This! So good! Thank you for sharing!

[@alexs2351]

7w8 here and I have a 7w6 colleague. You described our similarities and differences perfectly. When together, we are cheeky little kids up to no good. We both struggled with addiction before and have an intellectual streak. Though we have slight mean streaks, his is unintentional and is afraid of truly offending people. He can be excessively self-sacrificing because he wants to be loved through attention. Contrarily, my meanness is always intentionally directed towards someone I dislike and I couldn't give a shit about what people think unless its to achieve a goal.

[@ranikster9955]

Finally! 7w6 This one fits like a glove 💃😍

[@enneagramandcoaching]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Rachelle_Creates]

The 7w6 was spot on I do see some of the w8 in me as well. Thank you

[@mariagraziaraiola732]

Yesterday I saw your video and I want to thank you because with little time I understand my type better. Until now I prefer see as much as possible of type 7 for understand myself better. I'm sure of be a seven until now I thought that you could be only one wing but now I understand it better, it's very clear. I think to be an 7w6.

[@lorrielee885]

I had trouble figuring out my type from the test. But when my son was reading about the 7 particularlu when it talked about weaknesses...even the things I didn't necessarily have, I could see that being a direction I could easily go. I didn't know that much about the wings but when I heard another coach who happens to be a 7w6, describe things about that type, I was like I my gosh! That is so me. No wonder I've felt so torn through life having this "I just want to have fun and be happy" part and then this other part always trying to convince me to be responsible or reasonable. It has opened my eyes to so many things and yes to give myself grace in areas.

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Love this. Thank you for sharing!

[@martinalvarez7983]

I’m definitely a 7w8 I have been such a workaholic all my life and people call me that all the time and I’m a really direct person. I almost never see myself as a 7w6 tho at least nowadays since as a child I definitely leaned more toward a wing 6. Loved the video!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Yeah they say we switch wings between our childhood and adulthood. Thank you for sharing!

[@laurielicata8174]

I appreciate your insights and all I'm learning. There's only one tweak I would make to your channel. As a 7, I get distracted by background music and it's sometimes harder to concentrate on what you are sharing. Easily Distracted Seven!!

[@joris2982]

Oh that makes sense because I'm an introvert it usually goes against the type 7 but being a 7w8 means I could recharge myself and would likely to be alone although I love people in general.

[@agodley1249]

I am a 7 w 6 wing! Fun loving, playful, enthusiasm and lots of passion. Global pandemic has impacted me this year, not able to travel or go on adventures 😒 will global impact you? I am less spontaneous because I have health risk with asthma..

[@AnnieIsaLau]

I'm definitely a 7w6, that's super obvious. The only thing is a sometimes like to be alone like the w8, but that's it. lol

[@thenegotiator6338]

Very educational I am a 7w8, but i definitely go into my 7w6 when i am on the stage or i am brainstorming new ideas.

[@standnamemercuria7079]

I think I am an ENFP 7w6 because I adore having relationships with other people and I care deeply of how they see me.

[@mkellymay7889]

Looong before I knew anything about the enneagram, or what a Type 7 is, let alone what a 7w8 is, I've called myself a realist! Haha... not surprised at all that I'm a 7w8!!! Feels so good to fit somewhere so well (although I resisted typing myself, because I don't like feeling boxed in!)! That's so 7 of me! Lol!

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Thanks for helping me understand my 6 wing!

[@crsntav1954]

I'm an INFP, I was surprised knowing that I'm enneagram type 7, but yeah I tried to take the test one more time and it doesn't change. So here I am, after listening to your explanation I think I'm more 7w6 but I still can relate to how dependant 7w8 is. I have an ENFP friend, we've been friends for 15 years (maybe) and I think that's how I become type 7 lol and I think she has the same enneagram type as me (I'll ask her to take the test very soon). But idk which she lean on the most, is it 7w6 or 7w8. Both wings are really describe us so well 🙈

[@sarahmotlong949]

Ive always struggled to believe you could only be a wing on either side of your core type… because I tested highest 7 which I KNOW is me, but also almost tied for second was 2 & 3, followed by 5 🤔 so I’ve not really identified with wing 6 or 8 because they don’t seem as resonant with me… I probably lean more towards the 6 based on your description… is it possible to be just a pure 7 without a wing? What would explain the high scores of 2 & 3? I resonate with parts of both of those and LOVE to research for days like a 5… does this question make sense?

[@calebwatson1020]

I'm the definition of a 7w8, but the stereotype 7 is a 7w6, so people usually box me in there minds as something I'm not 😫

[@enneagramandcoaching]

The 7w6 and 7w8 are so different and you are 💯 correct that the stereotype of the 7 is the 7w6. I hate that this happens.

[@justinbroady]

Good point

[@garlicbreadisgg8325]

I'm an intp-a 7w6 and my whole life is a contradictory

[@fashionhistoryhub]

I really like how you described 7w8, it's really been helpful in narrowing down my type. A lot of people stereotype 7w8s as party animals which isn't me at all, I'm far more ambitious and focused on what I want to do and achieve in my life. My dad is a 7w6 and it's interesting to look at the differences between us, he is more of a people person and is definitely an entertainer. I was starting to question whether I was a 7 at all but this video helped me realize that I'm probably 7w8.

[@enneagramandcoaching]

So glad this helped you. Your so right sevens do get stereotyped. Thank you for sharing!

[@shreyanshsingh1461]

Please mam, I am an ENTP 8w7. I am confused between 8w7 vs 7w8. But I am sure I have a strong 8. Can you give some practical difference between them :)

[@xnooraxxsnx4537]

I did more than one test and I always get four or seven and I’m really confused I am everything that is seven type is except I never ever run away from my feelings I actually like exploring them and understanding them and learn more and about them just like I like to learn more about everything else. So I’m really confused which one am I since I can’t have both☹️.

I'm a 7w8 and I get all I want in life carrerwise but it takes a lot much time than I expected 'cause I rather enjoy life than being too strict with a working rotine

[@benjaminfast5496]

I would have thought some points you made for each of these type would be swapped. The 7w8, I would think, would be the Entertainer. My friend is a 7w8 (ENFP) and she's a bundle of energy. She comes up with big ideas and go for it. Being 2 assertive types she doesn't really worry about what others think, but she's also very optimistic and entertaining. She also doesn't desire that alone time to recharge (though you said a 7w8 likes that alone time). In fact, she wants to be around people as often as possible. She hosts every weekend for us to hang out. If she's alone for too long she gets bored. She also jumped from job to job all throughout her 20's because she was either bored or didn't like the rigid structure of how they were run. The 7w6 I would think is the Realist. They can want those exciting, stimulating experiences just like the 7w6, but they will be far more grounded in their approach. They would more so be thinking "this sounds fun, but is it safe?" "I really want to do this, but will it jeopardize my security?" "Will I have to abandon my friends or family if I take this new job opportunity?" Their energy will be more toned down because the 6 is a compliant type rather than an assertive type. I've also been at the same job for 12 years and I can just as quickly get bored with how routine it is. I've thought about quitting countless times. But it pays well enough that I can live alone and live "somewhat" comfortably, and the thought of losing all of that is terrifying to me. So I keep enduring it. That job security and a guaranteed paycheck is too valuable to me. It's what allows me to be able to enjoy other aspects of life and not have to worry as much (though I still manage to spend money on frivolous things and end up broke anyways, lol.) I'm also an ENFP, and I've bounced between being a 7w6, 9w8, or 4w3. One thing I know for sure though, is that when my ENFP 7w8 friend and I are together, we can get that ENFP energy. But I am way more chill that she is. I can be more rigid and perfectionistic about certain things. When she starts thinking up these huge ideas I naturally start to ground her a bit. I don't meet her same level of passion, energy, or excitement. She wants to go on a big trip? I think, "yeah, that would be a lot of fun, but that's a lot of money..." I don't mean to be a debbie downer, because as an ENFP I love to explore those ideas, but I don't feel the need to actually pursue them unless I can see a more practical method to get there.

[@jim_tennant]

Wow. Little late here, but I’ve reading up on the Enneagram lately. I thought for certain I was a 7w6, but my tests kept showing 7w8. I thought that this couldn’t be possible because I struggle with conflict and being assertive at times, but I do turn to workaholism a lot if I’m not careful and I do struggle with anger and have an internal drive to keep going, so maybe I really am a 7w8 after all? Thank you!

[@bethwingate777]

I got 7 with 9 & 5 wings.....so, what does that mean?

[@enneagramandcoaching]

Are those your top 3? Because that usually means now you should learn about those 3 types to see which one is your type. And then once you figure that out your wings will be on either side of your type. So for example, if your main type is a 7 then you only can have 6 or 8 as your wings. Hope this helps!

@@bethwingate777 There is what is called a "Tritype" which you get by selecting your top score in each category. Head/Heart/Gut. So for example I am a 5 core, wing 4, but my Tri Type is 584, that means those are my highest in each category. It is strange that you scored high on 5 and 7, personally as a core 5, my 7 was the absolute lowest of all the categories.
