Are your wings helping or hurting you? - Type Eight

Season #2

In this episode, Kelsey Taylor interviews Enneagram Eights, Daniel Palmer and Sarah Hammond on their wings. In the context of the Enneagram, your wings are the two numbers directly adjacent to your primary Type.

The 8w7 is known as “The Maverick” and these two coexist well together. They both are confident and inspirational. The Eight pushes through obstacles, while the Seven finds the silver lining in hardship. When healthy this Eight is passionate and motivational. They are resourceful and commanding. They stand up for what they believe in and they are able to discern when to exercise mercy.

The 8w9 is known as “The Bear” and this merger is one of conflict.  The Eight stands up for what they believe in and is energized by healthy controversial conversations, while the Nine wants to avoid conflict at all cost. When healthy this Eight is calm, protective, and a force to be reckoned with. They are steady, firm, and anchored.
