My mother is a 7w6 and I’m an 8. We both value autonomy but the easiest “tells” are how we tolerate conflict and stress. My mother loves people but hates conflict. She will leave a room before she will argue, she won’t confront issues - She has much more relationships and I have far fewer. She tends to comfort people while I tend to coach people - usually with harsh truths. When she’s stressed she seeks escape, I tend to dig in - to lean into it and obsess over it until I can push through it, it’s like I can’t “move on” when stressed I need to defeat it
funny thing how the person who typed me got my enneagram wrong. He typed me as a 7w8, but I feel more of that challenger side as a primary. This is because as someone who is currently under an intense amount of stress, I obsess over it and cannot let it go until it is dealt with. Waiting for a face to face conversation about addressing the issues is difficult for me. I do not avoid pain overall. Of course I'll do things like destress, take - or attempt to take my mind off of things for the sake of my sanity, but I'm a fighter lol
Im a year late to this but I am an 8w7 and I dont feel like I am very assertive unless I have to be but Im an introvert I do tend to be very guarded around people and not afraid to set firm boundaries idk if that is considered as assertive but over the years i think I have become more of an assertive introvert and sometimes I feel that I fit into the 8w9 more but idk if its more situational I can be very assertive or very passive.
I love your energy and the way you relay the information in a brief yet clear way. Thanks! Do you mind if I ask what enneagram type you are? For awhile I have thought that I am a 7. I can relate to avoiding my own pain/painful emotions but I don't avoid confrontation with others. Can sevens still be confrontational like eights if necessary?
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad it was helpful! I identify most as a Type 7...and yes, 7s will tend to avoid "difficult" emotions, but for many anger/confrontation doesn't feel difficult and can be more easily expressed. What's under the anger or trigger for confrontation can be the more difficult thing to face. I hope that helps! Great question.
