ENNEAGRAM TYPE 8 "WINGS" | 8w7 & 8w9 | The Maverick & The Bear 

I’m an 8w9, and the bear description is 100% accurate. You do your thing, I’ll do mine. But you touch what’s “mine” or interfere with spaces that are “mine” or “home”, you see a very no bullshit, gtfo, snappy side of me. I’m also VERY different at work than at home. At work, you see the more outgoing, go getter, efficient side, but home is a place strictly for relaxing. Great video! Can’t wait to explore around you’re channel more!

ESTP-A and 8w7 here. (+ developed Ni ) If I feel it is a proper cause for it in defense of self or I am defending someone in my inner circle, I won't back down. Was considered "mouthy" as a child and often tested boundaries.

Female INTP 8w9 here! I used to hate the facts that I am 'that person' but now I understand myself, I am trying to embrace the qualities that most people would shun.

Oh wow 8w9... when you described aggressive at work and peaceful at home. But in childhood I challenged everyone and fought with my family a lot (my dad is toxic). I always stood up to him and tried to defend myself and everyone else.

ENFP 8w7 here.. yeah

I’m a 9w1 married to an 8w9. I love my “bear”; he really likes to take care of me. He can be a lot to deal with sometimes, but he puts up with me, too!

I'm an 8w9, INFJ-A female and really connected to how you described the 8w9 at work vs at home! Felt spot on.

Thanks for the great video. I am a 8 wing 7 and also a INFP - A (assertive) male and I am not you usual 8 or INFP as I have heard that my combination is the rarest match up for a type 8. Being a introvert 8 wing 7 and a INFP-A I can surprise people as I am very laid back and easy going but when people mix up my kindness for weakness the challenger side of me will assert myself very unpredictably and seemingly out of no where and can be shockingly discombobulating to the person it is directed at. As I have gotten older I have understood better how humility is not weakness but strength and mercy is the better part of valor. Hope you and your viewers are being smart and safe during this unusual time of pandemic.

This was short and sweet, but also really informative!

I am a fairly odd bird I think. I am a 8w9 and INTP-A male It's funny because I was a fairly undeveloped when I was a child but in my late teens I really started to grow. I was fairly quite at school but had a temper and hated to listen to authority but the teachers usually liked me, probably because I was quite. But when I started working and college I always seemed to be put into leadership positions without seeking them out. I am a executive chef now and leading just seems natural but I am not a micromanager at all. I like to teach people to believe in themselves and to become strong and independent but I will always protect the people in my inner circle.

INFJ 8w7. This psychology stuff is pretty cool

5w4 INTJ, my girlfriend is a 8w7 ENTP. INTJ-ENTPs are ideal matches so I'm lucky haha. Congrats to all the ENTJ-INTP comments below, also ideal match. It's hard to be in a gold pair relationship but totally worth it.

Wow your eyes are SOOOO pretty!

i love a 8w7. we hd a lot of issues at first but now that i understand his thinking, i have learned so much patience and ive also learned some strength from him and hes learned how to be emotion and vulnerable and trusting with me and i love it and hes very protective

Amazing! I am an ENFJ 8w7 but can show the 9 wing when healthy.

Great video! I have 8w7 preference and have learnt how to use my 9 wing for patience. Also exploring growth in the Enneagram 2. MBTI ENTJ

8w9 here and this is accurate! Finding out that 8w9 especially for females is super rare!

I’m an ISTJ 8w9. Thanks for the information. 😊

I am an ENFJ 8w9. I believe I have a lot of patience (9) but I am unmovable when I am in my Challenger mode, just without the emotional reaction. Since childhood when I was handling a lot of stress of injustice I would feel like my heart turns into a stone and there is no much emotion left, just tentative argumentation and willingness. I am a very emotional type as you know, but in crucial moments my head gets clear and this challenger nature comes out, decent but fearless. Is an unusual combination I have heard. People normally perceive me in two drastic ways: As a wholeheartedly giving clueless naive person Or as an intimidating righteous reckless individual. Some people are intimidating “just by my presence” they say, until they get to know me and see how I am not scared of being vulnerable Some people think I am too vulnerable to ever stand up and are completely shocked when they see me do so. I love harmony, I respect rules, I follow authority, I understand other’s perspective, to the point where it becomes my hobbies to get other’s universe. But when something is unfair, false, painful and illogical. You will see that “good obedient well behaved girl” stand up, and suddenly I don’t care about authority, I don’t care about rules, someone has to stand up for what’s right. it can look very rebellious. All my life has been: -You are too young to talk like that -You are a child, accept your position and act like a child -Do you think you are greater than us? -Who do you think you are? The struggle, my Fe wants everyone to understand that I am not purposely rebellious for the sake of contradiction. I want my parents to know that since childhood I question how they do things because I am not someone who just follows around, I need to make sure that what I believe is right. I knew I had to be obedient as a kid, and a was. But whenever I could spot something wrong in what I was asked to believe or do, I would completely hesitate and start questioning them and this would drive them crazy. It was so extremely hard when I deeply wished to give them the obedience that would make them happy, but also deeply wanted to fight for what is right regardless of who they were. This contradiction inside of me is often pretty strong. It started with my parents and then with teachers, systems, religious leaders. I was not afraid of confrontation when something was wrong. But I tell you, there is nothing sadder than being deeply sacrificed and giving, basically a perfectionist people pleaser (enfj) while having this challenger fire inside that makes people judge you completely wrong. I understand my nature can be drastic, normally people get only one part, leaving out the other which is also deeply felt by me. I respect authority, rules, and harmony when I CHOOSE to. Because I chose to. But I am definitely not scared of authority and conflict, if I have to face the storm to do the right thing, I’ll do it without hesitation.

I'm a woman 8w9 and INFJ, my husband is 8w7 and ENTJ

I'm an 8w7 with absolutely no 9 chill in me lol. ENTP.

8w7 and ENFP :)

Lol nice job keeping it short, im an ENTP and I get bored of those super long vids. Thx!

Female 8w9 ENTJ. Married to a 7. I actually am fairly balanced with my wings as I can have times where I just become so spontaneous, enthusiastic, etc and that works well with my 7 husband but deep down I know I lean to more of a 9 wing because I'm EXACTLY like you said about work life vs home life. Especially when I'm feeling down I just want to be quiet and veg out. I'm very laissez faire for the most part and just want to do my own thing.

I have really been wanting to make sense out of the wings and you explained it perfectly. Thank you. I am without a doubt an 8w7.

8w9 is the best leader you can have

I am an ESTJ-T enneagram 8W9 female. I took the MBTI and Enneagram test. thanks appreciate this. n

I'm 8W9, yes all that resonates. I'm in a relationship with 8W7. All resonates.

ENTJ 8w7 and I see a little bit of 9 but I lean more towards 7

8w9 here...married to a 7w6 ❤️❤️❤️ 15 years next month!

I am a 4 wing 5, married to an 8...not really 100% sure which wing is more him, but definitely noticing our 4 year old daughter is an 8 wing 7! I'm definitely thinking our almost 6 year old son, is a 7 wing 6.

ISTP 8w9. I think I was more w7 when I was younger. I bet I was a 'lot of fun' to be around with back then :D

ENTJ 8w7 you describe precisely

I am 8w7 but 3 has also started to appear in my recent results. I have started my career so it totally makes sense!

I've been enjoying your videos so much. I'm also a 9w8 married to an 8w9. It's funny because we are so much alike and also sooo different, too. Thanks for sharing!

gotta love being a 8w7 INFJ lmao

My husband is an 8 with a 7 wing, and I am a 6 with a 5 wing.

Love it. You are great. :)

I am married to a 8. His wing is more a 9. He is more aggressive at work or working but passive at home, plus he hate conflicts in the home but is okay with them at work.

Entj and 8w7

Thank you for making this! I’m shocked that this has 77 views! Great videos , keep it up. 👍🏻 I think I might be 8w7. But I might be a mixture of both

i am an INTJ 8w9 i am very self composed and calm ig.

im an INFP 8w7. but idk if I took the enneagram test properly. Im really bad at taking personality tests because.... I understand psychology and I never know how transparent the test is being. I always test as INFJ actually but when I look at behaviors of the types, I fit in much better as an INFP.

Great information!

I’m confused as to what type I am. Everyone is telling me I am an 8 wing 7 which I partially see, but I don’t see myself as aggressive or anal on things. What would this change me to? 😭

I'm 8W9 ENTJ. Before i told my friends i am ENTJ, my online friends think i am Intj/Intp, my real world friend think i'm ENTP!

ENTP 8w7 here...

I'm getting confused recently because I thought I was either an 4w5/5w4 but now I'm wondering if I'm actually an unhealthy sp/sx 8w9... I'm been thinking all of the aspects that may be my Enneagram 8 part too much and for days and hours that now I'm feeling a bit sick. **help**

Istp 8w7🔥

I'm ENTJ 8w9 and my boyfriend is INTP 5w4

ESTJ and 8w7

I am an 8w7 married to a 9

8w7 ENFJ 🔥

Good info, but the frequency of that "popping" sound when graphics appear drove me nuts!

I took the enneagram test 3 times and everytime, I'd get an 8. But my wing (7) is only an 81%. Here's what I got: One: 77% Two: 87% Three: 94% Four: 93% Five: 72% Six: 71% Seven: 81% Eight: 98% Nine: 44% Why is three, four and two a greater match over either of my wings huhu D;

im a 8 w 7 but when I am not undergoing an intense amount of stress im a 8 w 9 (which is basically never... well actually it is just very rare) . but I really do relate to maverick.. I have been told by so many people im so insensitive and have 0 regard for others feelings. I am often called selfish because of it. My aloofness to emotion as well as dislike of emotion due to my fear of it clouding much needed decisions that need to be made cognitively. I definitely have the tendency to be very extroverted. My mother always said I have the capability to convince rock that it is a turtle... then 5 min later we would look over and see that rock suddenly turned to a turtle crawling the eff away. I know I definitely have a tendency to overindulge... I am not a recovering drug addict for no reason and I read somewhere 8w7 are most likely of all types to commit crimes of passion. I definitely understand why... because I have developed lots of patience over time. but the second I lose it, it is game over to whomever I lost it toward. I have no qualms going full on black out rage if I deem it necessary. which brings me to my final point, I read 8 w 7 and 8s in general have a tendency to sometimes come up with unorthodox ways to solving problems that may or may not be frowned upon by society norms. however, if 8s deem it the best solution, we will often push the unorthodox solution to happen/go in effect. and I relate to this because on job applications on the personality tests you sometimes have to take, it will sometimes ask "its ok to sometimes break the law if it gets the job done more effectively." I always answer unsure even those I want to put strongly agree because more than likely I won't be opposed if it is in fact the most effective solution... it honestly really depends on the law being broken. obviously I am not going to condone murder....

i'm a 9w1 and my boyfriend a 8 :)

Hi, I would like to make a suggestion please. While I enjoy your videos so much, there are many times it’s hard to clearly hear what you’re saying because there is a lot of echoing going on. Maybe you could look into getting soundproof acoustic foam or something. Thanks for the videos and all the hard work that you put into them.

entp 8w7 here :3

I’ve been getting 8w7 and my boyfriend got 3w2 but I’ve also gotten 3w2 ahhhh it’s confusing because I thought he was more chill of a personality... hmmm

8w7 & ENFJ

Just realised I may be the only enfp 8w7 ever

Hello, I am an 8! I am married to a 3! So we are reaching a as class about Enneagram! Any advice?

I'm a 9w1 and my husband is a 8w7, so I guess that we fit the stereotype. Lol Also, I'm an INFP and he is an ISTJ.

I identify myself as an ENTP-T(with a high Fe, still trying to grip that Si). Maybe I'm an 8, but it's a little hard for me to know my enneagram wing. My friends view me more as an 8w9, but i think 8w7 fits well too. I could be a 7 too, who knows. I'm even start doubting if I'm an ENTP or not, ajdsndeijoifjd-

I think your description of a 8w9 is colored given your husband is a w9, painting them to be supportive. The control aspect you attributed to 8w7 has nothing to do with the 7 wing and everything to do with the core of an 8. Recall, a type 7 is going to be flighty, avoidant of negativity and positive seeking. So an 8w7 will have those same influences, being more upbeat, seeking positivety, etc. But you applied the control nature of the 8 to the 7 wing. Something to think about....

I took mbti personality test before enneagram test and my mbti is ENFJ but when I took enneagram test I came out to be an 8! I mean, I could relate to ENTJ but I never thought I'd be an 8 but I found 8w9, I'm more social and calmer and all, basically an ENFJ but i still feel a little confused.

why did i get 8 with very close 5 , is that my wing? Closely after the 5 i got a 4 and 7. I'm so confused.

I'm fairly certain one of my characters is an 8, however I'm wavering on which wing she leans on. She's not one to fly off the handle, but she's a very stern, firm stiff upper-lip type mom with a quiet dignity to her, which makes me think she a wing 9. However she's not patient or accommodating overall. Though she has her redeeming moments. She has high standards her kids must live up to. She fears if she doesn't mold her kids into societies ideal for success they'll fail in life and she will have failed as their mother. Which type does that sound like to you?

I'm in INFP 4w5 but am researching enneagram for my book characters. I think my antagonist is an 8 so I'm really trying to understand this foreign type lol. After this vid I think she has the 9 wing. Thanku!!

I am ESTP-A 8W9.

8w7. I really wanted to be a type 7 when I was a teenager but my friends quickly told me... Nope you're an 8 😂 ENT/FJ

Hi Hillary. One thing I don't really understand is how it works to be an 8w7 and have 5 as both a stress point for my main type of 8 and a growth point for my 7 wing. Seems a bit odd and contradictory. I've never seen anything written on this subject. I'd be interested in seeing a video about that. Thanks.

My Draconic Taurus Moon + Scorpio Mars=ISTJ 8w9

🙌🏾👏🏾

8w7 ENTP

Estp 8w7. This is accurate asf

8w7 ENTJ

I’m an 8w7 but an ENFJ Is that odd ??

8w7 INTJ here.

8w7... why? I think it is more fun; 8w9 is too quiet. ;-)

I'm an 8 and my husband is a 9.

We’re going over let’s wait (pause) Type 8. Is she aware that’s in her title of the video?

I think Im an 8 with both wings

I’ve always had a really hard time figuring out my type. A pattern has emerged though. I always get 3w4, 4w3, 7w8, 8w7. With 4w3 and 8w7 most common.. Are there an similarities between these?

Ok I have both wings

I'm 8w7

Enfp 8w7!

im ENTJ 8w7, so i'll be a good dictator

another INTJ e8 (8,1,5) married to INFP e9

ENTP WITH 8w7

8 w 7

I really don’t know if I’m 8w9 or 9w8

I'm an 8w9 married to a 6w7.

I don't think differentiating between work and home behaviors is helpful. I can be a bear at home and passive at work. It depends on the person and on the job.

_ESTP, 8w7._

Here to find some ENFJ with 8w9 😂

i ve found this info to be very superficial and basically not telling at all. this video didnt help me whatsoever ~

i'm 8x7, ENFP 🥰
