It’s crazy how spot on this is... 👀 As a 7, I’m shook rn. No words; every point you made was true. I HATE waiting on packages and I love trying new things on the menu 😂
I didn’t know until my late 20s about the enneagram and I found out I am a hard 7. I think my ability to reframe things to the positive has helped me escape the long-term effects of a trauma that I suffered when I was a teen. You’re correct in that I didn’t realize that I was reframing at the time and I definitely do it subconsciously. The only point I didn’t subscribe to was the patience thing. I find ways to keep myself occupied when I have to wait and there have been several times when I ordered something online that I could’ve just driven to the store for.
I love trying new places to eat and I OFTEN say I just want one or two bites of everything. I always reframe every situation. I do get bored easily but I reframe that by always doing something I love to do. I love seeing new shows, new books, new hobbies, broadway traveling shows (I’m in California) but love Broadway quality when seeing a play. I love concerts and traveling in Europe. I’m an Executive assistant so I get to be the jack of all trades but the master of none. I hate waiting, I do not know delayed gratification but I am WORKING on it. Amazon next day delivery is life changing. I live and die by my planner. I have to plan because I look forward to events and what’s coming up. I research everything because when I go and spend my money I want to make it as enjoyable as possible. We only have one life to live why not go to that play, see your favorite singers at a concert, try that restaurant. I was born a Pollyanna and can’t help it but who cares. I’m a happy person and I like it. All the negatives or faults of a 7 I’ve been working on. Having them described really helps me identify them when they are showing up in my life. Just like everyone else I’m a work in progress.
Wow! The biggest "OMG that's me" moment was the bit about ordering many small plates at a restaurant. I will often order 3-4 appetizers instead of one meal. I absolutely love trying new restaurants, as well as new vacation spots, new shows, new-new-new. I'm like the "scout" when I'm on vacation, because I'll scout out all the fun things in town that might be worth trying.
I agree.. I’ve felt defective for so many years because I can’t really stick to anything unless there’s variety. So happy my therapist recommended I take the enneagram test.
Also - the one I appreciated the most was #7 that sevens know what they want out of life. My number one value is authenticity and knowing who I am and what I want out of life. Sometimes I have to fight my "seven brain" to make my goals happen as fast as I want them to (how seven of me haha)! Also dig the job recommendations. I'm in the middle of switching from a graphic designer to become a wellness coach!
I might have to make an appointment with you because I relate to every characteristic of a 7 AND 9! Even in the 7 mistype video when you were talking about being interrupted I could relate to the 7’s response and the 9’s response. It really just depends on the situation! I’m a creature of habit and I love some structure and yet I love to mix it up and try new things so I don’t get bored. Sometimes I’m confident in what I’m doing and where I’m going in life and other times I’m a total chameleon to whoever I’m around. Not sure where to land when I can relate to both.🙃
You are spot on! I would so much rather shop in person than online because 1) I hate waiting but also because of the creativity aspect 2) I feel like in stores I can see more options and better see/pick. ☺️
Im a 7. I start stuff and get bored after doing it so I don't finish tasks. I also reframe a lot; sometimes others get upset because they think I'm being insensitive but I'm trying to pull out a positive, even when people don't see any positives. I'm pretty carefree; I just go with what seems exciting to me. I don't like sharing my emotions/feelings it's hard when dating because Id rather show/flirt than flat out say it.
In response to the question at 12:07, I would prefer buying stuff in person. One of the things I miss pre-quarantine is just randomly going to the mall at night. I like seeing stuff that's out there, interesting things, what board games look nice, try on new clothes, etc. If I'm with friends, it's even better, but I don't mind going alone. I like looking at furniture and home items and imagining how I'd like my future home to be decorated (but the kind of decoration I want changes all the time haha). I also like to people-watch. On the other hand, I'm not opposed to online shopping. But it sometimes feels meh because it's just a visual sensory thing, you know? You just see the stuff. That's all. When I buy stuff in person, I can feel stuff, smell stuff, hear stuff, etc. Much more satisfying. And the waiting, too. Ugh. Saw some cute stuff online, saw that the waiting time would be about a month (!?!?!) because it would be shipped from overseas, and I went, "Oof" and promptly exited the app. Great video, by the way! It crossed all the Is and dotted all the Ts. 😂😂
Well done, Hillary! I'm a 7w8 and I related to most everything you talked about. 😊I am a "silver-lining" specialist! Romans 8:28 is one of my favorite verses and I hold God to His Word! He never fails. I had never thought about admiring Peter Pan until you explained the traits that he exhibited. I do consider myself happily child-like and I do love to have fun! Yes, I hate to be bored! But that is very rare for me as I love to do sooo many different activities! Another "handle" I've heard for the Type 7 is "the Generalist". This suits me well, in that, I'm good at many different things rather than mastering just one thing. I adore variety!! You are totally right...at any given time I'm reading 7 books! 😂 And I will totally drop a book/show/movie if it's boring, like it's hot! I have no time for boring... unless it's totally necessary. In that case...I make it fun! Although, I don't mind waiting (either in line or for something in the mail) maybe because I was an only child and am VERY good at entertaining myself. I order a LOT of items online rather than waste time (in my opinion) driving to a local store. I absolutely LOVE efficiency... and I can get much shopping done online! That may be due to my dominant 8 wing. I also tend to finish things... maybe not right awaaaaaay...but eventually. Thanks for your insights! I enjoy your videos! God bless you abundantly! ❤
Thank you! Yes! Such a great verse. You sound like a amazing 7 that I would love to hang out with! I like that handle, The Generalist. So true! Thank you for sharing all about being a Type 7...amazing insight!
@@enneagramandcoaching thanks so much! I'd like to hang out with you too! If not on earth, then definitely in heaven! My husband of 23 years is a Type 9 and we get along superbly! ❤ 9s are GREAT! My close friends tend to be 1s, 9s, and 7s. I wondered if you'd consider doing a video series on which types tend to match well as friends or spouses?? Could be super interesting!!
Just found out I'm a type 7 and stopped here to see what it looks like. The majority of these are spot on. I love trying new things on menus. I'm not someone that usually goes out to restaurants but whenever I do I love try something new. As for shopping, I actually prefer to shop online (mostly because I hate being around crowds and rude people). Since I can usually get whatever I want the next day from Amazon I will go ahead and order it. However, if there is a long wait for delivery then I will go out to the store and pick it up. But generally I'm pretty patient with waiting, lines, etc. I am also reading several books at a time (usually one ebook, one audiobook, and one physical book) and I love watching new movies, shows, theater, etc.
A 7 here. #4 and #6 are extremely accurate. I switched my college major probably 10 times because I’d get bored in a certain class then suddenly think I wasn’t meant for that degree. It took about 6 years to finish because of it. I love working at start ups (risky and unpredictable) and having a job where I wear multiple hats (sales) I dropped out of an MBA program because the classes got mundane and having that degree sounded new and cool in theory I guess. The number of online courses I’ve dropped and then re-enrolled in is too embarrassing to mention! If a tv show doesn’t hook me in about 5 minutes I’m not watching it. And reading books faster so I can get to the next interesting one would be the superpower I want! And I’m legitimately willing to pay $60 extra to get overnight shipping on something hahaha or even same day I just discovered the enneagram test very recently and learning this stuff about myself is so eye opening (and relieving!!) in the past I’ve definitely felt like the jumping around is a defect I have.
Yeah, the food thing.. As a 7w8 it's more than just ordering something to eat; it's all about the experience. As a child I could never decide between chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ice cream even when I knew I would be asked. Still can't decide.. If you picked the strawberry "experience" you missed out on the chocolate.. Neapolitan ice cream must have been invented by a type 7. I remember the first time I saw it. Whaaat! What a great idea! Really! Fomo to da utmo? It's a real thing. I don't know much about Peter Pan. I can totally relate to Dr Who though. If I order socks online I will be checking the door all day until they are delivered. I will always go to a store to buy something instead of waiting. You can get an oil change in ten minutes. I can do it myself in eight. Col 3:23 has always been my verse. I do get involved in too many things but try to do them well. Love these videos and this is embarrassingly accurate.
AH...yes I can see this. You are so right! It does have to do with the experience. I love that you saw the verse...its a fav of mine too! Thanks for sharing!
It is so beautiful how spot on this is! I identify with every single one of these as a 7, but I particularly relate to #3 Trying new things on the menu. I am constantly changing things up with where I go and what I eat there. I will never have “the usual” because it’s always changing 😁. Loved this so much, thank you Hillary!
Online shopping is the best - can read/watch heaps of reviews, and a huge amount of options for whatever I want to buy - rather than having to take the only one in the store! As much as I like to support my local seller!
Haha holy crap. This nailed me on the head. Reframing was an interesting point. I've had so many people lately mention, 'Wow, you're so positive' or 'I never thought of it like that.' Even with difficult situations, I'm like, 'this sucks. This is terrible, but I got this. I can do this.' Literally every point was spot on. Lol I love to travel, (booked a trip to India to go to a wedding a month and a half before, trip to South Africa a month before for fun, etc). I love trying new things, learning new things etc. FOMO is/can be a thing. I love life and live it fully. I have SO many hobbies and different friend groups. Yeah, spot on. Thanks for the video! Excited to learn more
These are fun. My 7 wing feels pulls me to read 3-4 books at the same time. I have one for bed, one in my purse, one in my car, and one in my backpack. That way, I never have to be bored. I also love trying new restaurants, but I tend to order similar things each time because I know my tastes. Occasionally I will be really adventurous, but there’s a time and place for that. I also know what I want for really important decisions. The only times I don’t know is when it’s something minor. Like, I really don’t care if I have parmesean or asiago cheese on my pizza. I just want pizza. This definitely helps me understand my brother better, because we are so alike sometimes and so opposite other times. He’s a 7w8 and I’m an 8w7.
I’m a seven but I think I’m actually a VERY patient person but I think that has more to do with my upbringing and environment as I had to wait around A LOT as a kid. I can easily wait 2 hours for a haircut if they are behind. I hate waiting for packages to arrive tho and check the tracking multiple times a day 😂
I’m a 7 for sure... in regards to online shopping, I used to love going in the store, but lately it seems as if most department stores are not keeping stocked very well (even if they say they have something in stock) so I’m SUPER drawn to online shopping as it can be delivered to your doorstep sometimes within an hour in Nashville!!! It also allows me to budget correctly, as I am very prone to impulse purchases!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
okay no one ever understands me when i say i would rather buy IN PERSON at a store vs. online shopping ! i can confidently say i never online shop cause i hate waiting and i’d rather go on an adventure hunting it down anyways this is sooo spot on ! 😂
I have a lot of things in common with the 7, but it is probably because I am in the positive outlook group. I spent a lot of time being active as a kid, but I also enjoyed being still while drawing, playing with dolls, and sitting in the tops of trees to enjoy the sound of the leaves in the rustling wind, and I still don't have a problem with downtime. One thing that stands out is I LOVE Peter Pan. It is my favorite ride in Disneyland because it feels magical, and there isn't a Peter Pan movie I don't love.
Ma'am you honestly said it all, made me so excited for wanting to be and do moree! I AGREE! but personally for me sign 9,im pretty patient with waiting. Yeah once in a while i could be like "is it here yet?" but i believe we can personally learn how to be patient.
You are a breathe of fresh air Hillary. You nailed it for me at the restaurant! Then you got the whole boredom and caring thing. It’s our minds that are our downfall, I swear! Anyway, the shopping thing-here’s the thing, OPTIONS! It’s not about instant gratification, it’s about the options. I only shop with Amazon, because they do options so well. Just my little two cents. Keep feeding us your enthusiasm, you make this fun and refreshing! Peace and love to you 💖🤙 Karina
Wow! I’m just now discovering the Enneagram and I know I’m a 7, especially because number four CALLED ME OUT! I get really excited about EVERYTHING and love thinking about and planning it, but I have a real hard time finishing/actually completing the project.
haha I'm TOTALLY a 7! This is great! I love following your stuff! You know what's funny - I'm realizing so many things are aligning! I'm an Enneagram 7, an ENFP (Myers Briggs) and a Sagittarius! I notice SO many commonalities between these!
I’m still working on narrowing down my number between 9 and 7 but I obviously relate so much to all of this! As far as sign number 4 I’m gung ho about an idea and will do it until it gets too hard or isn’t so fun anymore(depending on what the activity is) and then I usually want to move on. It’s that the idea of doing is often more fun than the actual doing so when the doing becomes not as fun let’s move on.
I've done a few tests and got 7, 6, and 8 on those tests. So I've been trying to study the nuances of each of those. I think I may be a 7w6. I love adventuring, exploring, going and doing things. Can't stand being bored, or missing out on events, especially events where friends are doing something I like doing and I'm not there. A funny story, in highschool I went for a class trip to the Culinary Institute of America, with my Culinary class mates. Everyone was given the option to pick one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert. Everyone else played it safe, I went all out. I had the lemongrass soup, herb-roasted Quail stuffed with Mango salsa, and don't remember the dessert. Never tried Lemongrass anything or Quail before. My friends and I had been on a quest for the best burger in New Orleans for the past few years. New restaurants, new flavors. All of it. I've been through a lot of hard, bad, difficult things in life so I've found I usually joke about things that hurt.
I was introduced to enneagram this week, and I thought it was insane to be a seven, but as I hear it, it makes more and more sense, I’ve got 5 trips planned and I go insane if I don’t have a trip planned, my hobby is trying new restaurants, and this week someone hit my car and my first thought was “well, I’m going to a concert this week, so the car isn’t a problem till I’m over and done with the good part”. And I’m a pole dance instructor… (I also have a travel blog and a post grad in fashion)
Check, check, and check, lol. Definitely all have been true, esp earlier on in my life. The stuff that has fallen off over the years are 2 FOMO, 4 leaving things unfinished, 6 being bored, and 9 impatience. My temperament has also gotten a lot less explosive and exuberant over the years, and I wouldn't be surprised if people typed me as a 4 or 5, because I can be very introverted, quirky, and observant. I may be a model of serenity and patience on the outside, but there is much excitement and imagination happening within, lol. 1.) I knew as a kid that getting old was not for me. Age is just a number, and that's a fact. As a 7w8, I highly object when people use phrases like "act your age", and talk about societal norms for how one "should" act. Peter Pan is a maverick, and he's a great character for a 7. We also seem magical and super creative, because we don't do boxes. When people try to put us in boxes, we are likely to say, "I've already tried that, no thanks." 3.) I love trying new things, esp delicious things. I'm okay with trying new clothes, styles, places, shows, etc, so yeah, that about covers it. I enjoy variety, but I can also enjoy the same thing. I laugh when people ask me where or what to eat, because I'll often be in the mood for something they find extreme, so I let people pick where to go, 'cause I'll enjoy anything. Like, I'll suggest to eat some super spicy Thai or Szechuan food, and then realize the person I'm with can't do spicy, LOL. 5.) Master reframing, that's for sure. I've expanded this to other areas as well, including writing and philosophy. The one that often shocks people is when I say "I can eat my cake, and ice cream too", which is reframed from "You can't have your cake, and eat it too". As a 7, I never understood that phrase. I'll eat some cake, ice cream, cookies, fruits, tarts, and like, the all available desserts at a party. 7.) I have a lot of things I enjoy doing, and a list of projects that are in the works for my life purpose. I'm doing a lot of digging into this enneagram stuff, 'cause it feels related to my grand project. 8.) This is very true, yes. Fun is integral in the experience and process. My saying is "Do what you love, and love how you do it." 10.) I have keen senses, so I thoroughly enjoy all the aspects of life and experiences. Colors, sounds, flavors, smells, physical sensations, feelings. All of these make life so vibrant and amazing. The more satisfying and delicious something is, the slower I eat, so people are surprised by how slow I eat at times, because I'm enjoying every bite, and savoring the experience.
Totally! Not every 7 will relate to these. It’s depends on your wing, your subtype and level of health. Totally normal that you might not relate to these. ❤️
Same, I think I'm a type 7 but I have anxiety and depression so I can't relate to the stereotype of them being constantly happy or never crying. I've wondered if I'm a 4 too but still unsure. How'd you know your type?
hi!!! I'm also a 7 and I had depression and anxiety, but after medication and I moved from my toxic family I started seeing how everything alignes kinda???? like ii just love being active and try to see everything in this positive light but I need this variety anfnsnffkk I don't know I missed the point what I wanted to say is that it gets better and just feels like wow when you start seeing how you really are and that you can actually enjoy life and if you need to talk or just distract yourself I'm here :D
@@summero-my5in I thought that I was a 4 too but there are these differences and yeah I think I have this 4 tendencies but I'm mostly a 7 and 8 but I'm not that 8 anfnsmddk I say what I think and an true to what I believe and not scared to call someone out but not Workaholic or all to business I think. 7 is more about always having something to fill this kinda hole in me, and I just do things to fill me up because I kinda need it and I usually find more happiness or excitement in teh anticipation more than doing the thing itself or like my dream job would be giving amazing ideas but not really doing them akdkdkdlddl I also try to see things positively even when it is impossible because I can't stand pain and try to distract myself from it sometimes una. Bad way but yeah. That's what being a 7 is for me
@@mar-lo8ox I see, thank you! I’m 17 and I live w my toxic family so we have been in similar situations. I thought I was a 4 at first bc I’m not ALWAYS positive and I can be very emotional easily, but it’s also hard to be extra positive in this environment of people constantly pushing me down. Also I constantly just distract myself with new tasks and plan a million things to do even if I don’t do them, I enjoy the idea of it. And all I really want in the end is to be happy. I mean sure I’d like to be unique but I don’t think it’s my core desire. Anyway thanks for reading this, and I appreciate your input. I’m also glad you’re able to be more of yourself now!
Dang. I get stuck between 6 and 7 but honestly i relate to almost everything on this list. The only thing that's not like me is the positive reframe (i can do this sometimes with friends but never with myself. But for the most part i like to be realistic). And I'm not impatient with waiting in line or waiting for things but I'm EXTREMELY impatient with other people's behavior hahaha. Great video 👍🏾
For a while, I thought I was a type 9. But, didn't see myself with everything that a 9 is. But today, I realised I'm a definite type 7/7w6, almost to a tee!
I’m a 7 and I 100% agree with all of these EXCEPT the ‘try new things on the menu’. I’m not really a foodie. I’ll lean into my 6 wing on that and just pick what I’m used to.
Yea type 7 here. I can get side tracked with projects. But I can’t stand when I don’t complete something. I stuff my unfinished project in the back of my mind and WILL come around into it again.
Pretty sure I’m a type 7. I have many times when going to a restaurant, especially when it’s one I have never been too, just told the waiter to give me “his favorite thing on the menu”, or “surprise me” or “whatever the chef makes himself for lunch”. This has made my wife super uncomfortable, even angry at how easy it is for me to just be surprised.
Resident 7 over here! Also, fellow Arizonian. Hello 🎉 Loved this video. I’m just starting my TH-cam journey and I’m determined to continue what I just started. I feel like I’ve almost not started things in the past because I’ve assumed I would not follow through. Thanks for setting the stage for us!
@@enneagramandcoaching Phoenix! I’m still figuring out exactly but East Africa travel and lifestyle is where I’m at now. But, as any seven would, I’m just excited to have fun with it 🤩 I think it’s hard for a seven to niche down since we want to talk about alllll the things.
i was kind of agreeing with some things until you said 7´s can’t finish things and get too excited in the idea of doing new things... that’s me to a T (i’m also an entp... so... yeah) also i would much rather go to a store rather than order not just because of waiting but also because with quarantine i’ll take any opportunity to get outside
7's!!!! I was so excited to see this and now, you know me (I think) well enough to expect my comment to be a book...lol. I hope you don't mind. they won't be in any sort of order because my note taking on what I wanted to say was kind of all over the place. Growing up...I am in my 50's and I look at people my age and even younger and I'm like "they are most definitely an adult" and I don't feel like I fit into the "adult mold". At times I have made an effort to be more adult. At one point in my life I felt like people would be more accepting of me if I was more like my Mom (a 6)....I was good at acting that way BUT I was miserable and I woke up when one person commented "you are just like your Mom" and although I smiled outside, inside I was screaming "no...I am NOT!" days later someone else commented "You know, when you are not around your Mom, you are like a totally different person". That was the point where I began the long process of finding out who I really was. While I will admit adulting is a neccesity in life....It's not fun.and you know how 7's feel about fun. Pre-Covid it was a common thing to see posts from me saying "I'm done adulting...I'm going to Disney World". And I was seriously as excited or maybe more excited than any kid about going to Disney World. FOMO! Oh yes! Until about a year ago I didn't even realize that was an actual thing but, oh my yes! It's the reason I have trouble going to bed at night....If anybody else is still up especially, I am afraid I am going to miss something....something fun! That's also my experience in restaurants. I nhave trouble making up my mind because I might miss out on something good. With new restaurants, if I know I am going ahead of time I will study the menu ahead of time so I will not have to face indecision when I get there. Sometimes this works, other times I hear what other people are ordering and I think "ooh....that sounds good" and I abandone my original plan. I remember one time my family went to Epcot and we went to different countries there ordering food. We would order one meal and share it, then move on to the next country to try something else. Finishing...well, I was actually talking about this with a friend earlier this week and she was like "But I know you finish things all the time". And I was like "Well, you hear about the things I finish, you don't hear aboutt he things I start and don't finish. And that is true to a point but I think my 6 wing kind of pushes me to finish things because I need to do the responsible thing. So, probably it's more of an issue when I start something on my own. If I am doing something for someone else I do feel pushed to finish it. And I realized just now this could have to do with the 3 in my tri-type...if there's competition or even if I'm just wanting to show off (that sounds bad) I will finish and finish grandly. I'll include my thoughts about books here too. I might have a list of books I want to read but the odds are, it isn't going to happen mainly because reading is a solitary thing...I want to be with a group or at least with another person and that's not conducive to reading. Being bored....I HATE being BORED!!! Sadly the smart phone almost always makes that not a problem...waiting in line...pull out the phone. Call someone, text someone, play a game, scroll through social media, study the enneagram, find memes about being patient or not being patient. I'm telling you these things may not have been invented by 7s but there were definitely invented for 7s. Now when I'm at work doing webinars...yeah, that doesn't work. I can handle the first hour and stay focused but like yesterday I had one that lasted 3 hours! and by hour 2 they had pretty much lost me. In person meetings I can do more than an hour no problem. Okay well, I guess as long as it is partiaally interactive I can handle long meetings...like all day long meetings. Now this one I was at was so boring...they just had different people up there talking the WHOLE time. When it was time to do the evaluation at the end, I let them know they needed to plan for the adults just like they did for the kids meeting, break it up with fun things between speakers, do interactive things. My parting shot to them that day was "Don't make me sit here and wonder why I don't have a fidget spinner" Reframing - I'm the Queen. Even when my ex-husband (who I had been married to over 30 years) died in December within just a few hours I had decided this really was the best thing for him because he was headed for a world of heartbreak and I really didn't want to see what this person was going to do to him. I see the reframing as a good thing most of the time. I am working on sitting with my feelings as they come, not rushing to reframe. Jobs...I'll keep this one short. At least half of those things I have done or considered doing. Store or online....Store if I knew for sure they had exactly what I wanted Know what I want: Yes. I want to do the things God wants me to do. I want to be happy, I want everyone else to be happy, I want my people to be around me. I want hugs and I want quality time and I want to be present to life. I'm sorry this is so long. I will try to control myself better next time. Maybe you can look at this as me making up for being quiet for that month or so.
Lorrie, I LOVE your comments! This one was such an amazing view into who you are. Thank you for taking the time to write it. All of it was so good. Loved how you broke it down piece by piece and answered it.
Think I'm a 7. My phone has books on it, so I can always read instead of wasting time in a waiting room. Peter pan, check. Downside, scattered, check. Thanks
I’m a 7 and have a makeup artistry biz. I also work on the side as a fashion stylist and have a degree in Theatre and am a singer. Yeah...all these things and the fact that there are so many things means I am a classic 7.
I am having so much trouble finishing out my doctorate and the pandemic has made it SO difficult. I relate to that part so much. And the reframing part doesn't help because it fuels excuses for me to not worry about not finishing it. Like I'm not depressed about graduating late but... I'm stuck.
Sounds like a Type 1 in Carol Tuttle’s program “ It’s just my nature” and her Dressing Your Truth program. She goes by facial features , hands and then nature.,
Yes, when I want something I want it now LOL ... and I HAAAAATE Lines ... so when we go to Disney (I love it) but I refuse to wait in any of the lines lol
Adding another one, LOL, the joy of life so resonates with me. Thank you for your coaching/helping us determine who we really are. But do we ever really know? Ha ha, probably not! Have a blessed day!
This describes mostly except for the impatient. I am a very patience person. But I would rather shop in person so I can see it and touch it. And see if there is something better 😁
Buying in person is better for me, but I can be impulsive so I like Amazon because I can put it in a list and then come back later and pick and chose what I'm actually going to buy and waiting two days is something I dont like, but can handle bc I go and focus elsewhere in the meantime.
Literally went to the store yesterday to get new headphones. Could not wait to get them online in the mail. They didn't have it in one store, so I went to another one that day to get it right aways!
In the video for signs of type 8, I found myself in some questions, such as love of power and love of imposing opinion, but I did not find myself in all the questions, such as saying no easily, but in this video, most of the questions apply to me So I do not know whether I am seven or eight, knowing that I like the personality of eight more and I feel that seven is a little reckless personality from the description of the sites, although I am the most calm person in problems, even the big problems
Lol I think I am a 7w6. I thought I was a 9w1 because my energy isnt as high as I thought a 7 would be but I do know what I want and am not self forgetting like at all. I never wanted to grow up I kwpt going trick or treating until I was a teen and was mad when people told me I was too old for it. I am always late cuz I get distracted but I'm always like oh no I'm gonna miss things so rushing to get there 😅. Tapas is my favorite thing small bites of everything for the win. I do like shopping online but hate waiting. I just like to see all of the options in front of me I do like thrifting though that is an adventure
Oof. I related to all this so hard *guilty looks at the 483 unfinished projects and 57 unread books*. Now I'm wondering if we mistyped me (8w9 so/sp). Time to go watch mistyping videos. And how dare you say Peter Pan isn't real! We were BFFs until I was 12 and not allowed to go back to Neverland because of some technicality about it being only for kids.
I should have waited til the end to comment all my thoughts but I can be impatient, shocker.🤣😜 The point about ordering or going to a store to get it...100% going to go pick it up. I’m too excited to wait or else I just want it out of my mind to move on to the next thing.
I think I'm not 7 dominant, but do have it in my tritype. Like I relate,but I don't at the same time. I'm grounded also desire to be happy, I hate being carefree. I also hate Living,I don't hate missing out.
Married to a 7... he hates lineups. He will go to the truck while I cash out if there is more than two people in the line. Also... he discovered Amazon during Covid... That is shopping Nirvana for him!!!
Oh yeah!!! I love new restaurants and places, had more FOMO a when I was younger but I still have that at times! I also reframe ALL the time and am very able to see my future/goals. OMG I hate waiting hahaha you hit me BANG on....I am such a STORE shopper! ☺️ 7’s for the WIN 🙌
Seven here and I definately would go but it from the store if I can get it now. Pretty much all 10 hit me although Fomo is not as bad as I've gotten older.
I believe i can relate to the signs the only thing is the jobs you mentioned they are absolutely interesting for me but as hobby cuz i believe it's gonna be boring after time, and i believe i would search for something super serious such as a politician, high rank definitely

Can a type 7 be socially ambieverted/introverted?
@@_linlin_ Yes!
I’m a 7 with a strong 6 wing. I describe it as “I love parties, but I will be the first one there because I don’t like to be late.” 😁
😂😂😂
@@enneagramandcoaching I have that too. It is FOMO.
7w8 my wife just don’t get fashionably late. I am the party!
It’s crazy how spot on this is... 👀 As a 7, I’m shook rn. No words; every point you made was true. I HATE waiting on packages and I love trying new things on the menu 😂
LOL!!! 😂
I didn’t know until my late 20s about the enneagram and I found out I am a hard 7. I think my ability to reframe things to the positive has helped me escape the long-term effects of a trauma that I suffered when I was a teen. You’re correct in that I didn’t realize that I was reframing at the time and I definitely do it subconsciously. The only point I didn’t subscribe to was the patience thing. I find ways to keep myself occupied when I have to wait and there have been several times when I ordered something online that I could’ve just driven to the store for.
I love trying new places to eat and I OFTEN say I just want one or two bites of everything. I always reframe every situation. I do get bored easily but I reframe that by always doing something I love to do. I love seeing new shows, new books, new hobbies, broadway traveling shows (I’m in California) but love Broadway quality when seeing a play. I love concerts and traveling in Europe. I’m an Executive assistant so I get to be the jack of all trades but the master of none. I hate waiting, I do not know delayed gratification but I am WORKING on it. Amazon next day delivery is life changing. I live and die by my planner. I have to plan because I look forward to events and what’s coming up. I research everything because when I go and spend my money I want to make it as enjoyable as possible. We only have one life to live why not go to that play, see your favorite singers at a concert, try that restaurant. I was born a Pollyanna and can’t help it but who cares.
I’m a happy person and I like it. All the negatives or faults of a 7 I’ve been working on. Having them described really helps me identify them when they are showing up in my life. Just like everyone else I’m a work in progress.
Wow! The biggest "OMG that's me" moment was the bit about ordering many small plates at a restaurant. I will often order 3-4 appetizers instead of one meal. I absolutely love trying new restaurants, as well as new vacation spots, new shows, new-new-new. I'm like the "scout" when I'm on vacation, because I'll scout out all the fun things in town that might be worth trying.
I’m low key tearing up while watching this because I FEEL SO SEEN!! I finally can put my finger on why I am the way I am and it’s just so relieving 😌
Awww LOVE THIS!
I agree.. I’ve felt defective for so many years because I can’t really stick to anything unless there’s variety. So happy my therapist recommended I take the enneagram test.
Also - the one I appreciated the most was #7 that sevens know what they want out of life. My number one value is authenticity and knowing who I am and what I want out of life. Sometimes I have to fight my "seven brain" to make my goals happen as fast as I want them to (how seven of me haha)! Also dig the job recommendations. I'm in the middle of switching from a graphic designer to become a wellness coach!
I would much rather shop in person! Shopping is an adventure!
LOL! Love this!
This is excellent and SO TRUE!!! We are the color in a black & white world.
I might have to make an appointment with you because I relate to every characteristic of a 7 AND 9! Even in the 7 mistype video when you were talking about being interrupted I could relate to the 7’s response and the 9’s response. It really just depends on the situation! I’m a creature of habit and I love some structure and yet I love to mix it up and try new things so I don’t get bored. Sometimes I’m confident in what I’m doing and where I’m going in life and other times I’m a total chameleon to whoever I’m around. Not sure where to land when I can relate to both.🙃
I totally can relate to this! Yes! I’d love to help you!
@@enneagramandcoaching Me too please!!
You are spot on! I would so much rather shop in person than online because 1) I hate waiting but also because of the creativity aspect 2) I feel like in stores I can see more options and better see/pick. ☺️
Haha! So good!
Im a 7. I start stuff and get bored after doing it so I don't finish tasks. I also reframe a lot; sometimes others get upset because they think I'm being insensitive but I'm trying to pull out a positive, even when people don't see any positives. I'm pretty carefree; I just go with what seems exciting to me. I don't like sharing my emotions/feelings it's hard when dating because Id rather show/flirt than flat out say it.
In response to the question at 12:07, I would prefer buying stuff in person.
One of the things I miss pre-quarantine is just randomly going to the mall at night. I like seeing stuff that's out there, interesting things, what board games look nice, try on new clothes, etc. If I'm with friends, it's even better, but I don't mind going alone. I like looking at furniture and home items and imagining how I'd like my future home to be decorated (but the kind of decoration I want changes all the time haha). I also like to people-watch.
On the other hand, I'm not opposed to online shopping. But it sometimes feels meh because it's just a visual sensory thing, you know? You just see the stuff. That's all. When I buy stuff in person, I can feel stuff, smell stuff, hear stuff, etc. Much more satisfying. And the waiting, too. Ugh. Saw some cute stuff online, saw that the waiting time would be about a month (!?!?!) because it would be shipped from overseas, and I went, "Oof" and promptly exited the app.
Great video, by the way! It crossed all the Is and dotted all the Ts.
😂😂
Wow! Thank you for sharing all this! Such great insight in the 7. Loved all of it!
The one that hit me was positivity. I rarely have a bad day even if something bad happens.
Well done, Hillary! I'm a 7w8 and I related to most everything you talked about. 😊I am a "silver-lining" specialist! Romans 8:28 is one of my favorite verses and I hold God to His Word! He never fails.
I had never thought about admiring Peter Pan until you explained the traits that he exhibited. I do consider myself happily child-like and I do love to have fun! Yes, I hate to be bored! But that is very rare for me as I love to do sooo many different activities! Another "handle" I've heard for the Type 7 is "the Generalist". This suits me well, in that, I'm good at many different things rather than mastering just one thing. I adore variety!! You are totally right...at any given time I'm reading 7 books! 😂 And I will totally drop a book/show/movie if it's boring, like it's hot! I have no time for boring... unless it's totally necessary. In that case...I make it fun! Although, I don't mind waiting (either in line or for something in the mail) maybe because I was an only child and am VERY good at entertaining myself. I order a LOT of items online rather than waste time (in my opinion) driving to a local store. I absolutely LOVE efficiency... and I can get much shopping done online! That may be due to my dominant 8 wing. I also tend to finish things... maybe not right awaaaaaay...but eventually. Thanks for your insights! I enjoy your videos! God bless you abundantly! ❤
Thank you! Yes! Such a great verse. You sound like a amazing 7 that I would love to hang out with! I like that handle, The Generalist. So true! Thank you for sharing all about being a Type 7...amazing insight!
@@enneagramandcoaching thanks so much! I'd like to hang out with you too! If not on earth, then definitely in heaven! My husband of 23 years is a Type 9 and we get along superbly! ❤ 9s are GREAT! My close friends tend to be 1s, 9s, and 7s. I wondered if you'd consider doing a video series on which types tend to match well as friends or spouses?? Could be super interesting!!
Just found out I'm a type 7 and stopped here to see what it looks like. The majority of these are spot on. I love trying new things on menus. I'm not someone that usually goes out to restaurants but whenever I do I love try something new.
As for shopping, I actually prefer to shop online (mostly because I hate being around crowds and rude people). Since I can usually get whatever I want the next day from Amazon I will go ahead and order it. However, if there is a long wait for delivery then I will go out to the store and pick it up. But generally I'm pretty patient with waiting, lines, etc.
I am also reading several books at a time (usually one ebook, one audiobook, and one physical book) and I love watching new movies, shows, theater, etc.
Strong 7, and yes to all of these. I love how you said don’t confuse carefree as careless or we don’t care. I’m very driven
A 7 here.
#4 and #6 are extremely accurate. I switched my college major probably 10 times because I’d get bored in a certain class then suddenly think I wasn’t meant for that degree. It took about 6 years to finish because of it.
I love working at start ups (risky and unpredictable) and having a job where I wear multiple hats (sales)
I dropped out of an MBA program because the classes got mundane and having that degree sounded new and cool in theory I guess.
The number of online courses I’ve dropped and then re-enrolled in is too embarrassing to mention!
If a tv show doesn’t hook me in about 5 minutes I’m not watching it. And reading books faster so I can get to the next interesting one would be the superpower I want!
And I’m legitimately willing to pay $60 extra to get overnight shipping on something hahaha or even same day
I just discovered the enneagram test very recently and learning this stuff about myself is so eye opening (and relieving!!) in the past I’ve definitely felt like the jumping around is a defect I have.
Yeah, the food thing.. As a 7w8 it's more than just ordering something to eat; it's all about the experience. As a child I could never decide between chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ice cream even when I knew I would be asked. Still can't decide.. If you picked the strawberry "experience" you missed out on the chocolate.. Neapolitan ice cream must have been invented by a type 7. I remember the first time I saw it. Whaaat! What a great idea! Really! Fomo to da utmo? It's a real thing. I don't know much about Peter Pan. I can totally relate to Dr Who though. If I order socks online I will be checking the door all day until they are delivered. I will always go to a store to buy something instead of waiting. You can get an oil change in ten minutes. I can do it myself in eight. Col 3:23 has always been my verse. I do get involved in too many things but try to do them well. Love these videos and this is embarrassingly accurate.
AH...yes I can see this. You are so right! It does have to do with the experience. I love that you saw the verse...its a fav of mine too! Thanks for sharing!
It is so beautiful how spot on this is! I identify with every single one of these as a 7, but I particularly relate to #3 Trying new things on the menu. I am constantly changing things up with where I go and what I eat there. I will never have “the usual” because it’s always changing 😁.
Loved this so much, thank you Hillary!
You are so welcome!! ❤️
Online shopping is the best - can read/watch heaps of reviews, and a huge amount of options for whatever I want to buy - rather than having to take the only one in the store! As much as I like to support my local seller!
Woot! Woot!
Haha holy crap. This nailed me on the head. Reframing was an interesting point. I've had so many people lately mention, 'Wow, you're so positive' or 'I never thought of it like that.' Even with difficult situations, I'm like, 'this sucks. This is terrible, but I got this. I can do this.'
Literally every point was spot on. Lol I love to travel, (booked a trip to India to go to a wedding a month and a half before, trip to South Africa a month before for fun, etc). I love trying new things, learning new things etc. FOMO is/can be a thing. I love life and live it fully. I have SO many hobbies and different friend groups. Yeah, spot on. Thanks for the video! Excited to learn more
Yes!!! Love it!
These are fun. My 7 wing feels pulls me to read 3-4 books at the same time. I have one for bed, one in my purse, one in my car, and one in my backpack. That way, I never have to be bored. I also love trying new restaurants, but I tend to order similar things each time because I know my tastes. Occasionally I will be really adventurous, but there’s a time and place for that. I also know what I want for really important decisions. The only times I don’t know is when it’s something minor. Like, I really don’t care if I have parmesean or asiago cheese on my pizza. I just want pizza.
This definitely helps me understand my brother better, because we are so alike sometimes and so opposite other times. He’s a 7w8 and I’m an 8w7.
Yes! Love this Francesca! Love that having a 7 wing leads you to experience so much a the great things about a 7!
I say go for Asiago and Parmesan on your pizza!
I’m a seven but I think I’m actually a VERY patient person but I think that has more to do with my upbringing and environment as I had to wait around A LOT as a kid. I can easily wait 2 hours for a haircut if they are behind. I hate waiting for packages to arrive tho and check the tracking multiple times a day 😂
I’m a 7 for sure... in regards to online shopping, I used to love going in the store, but lately it seems as if most department stores are not keeping stocked very well (even if they say they have something in stock) so I’m SUPER drawn to online shopping as it can be delivered to your doorstep sometimes within an hour in Nashville!!! It also allows me to budget correctly, as I am very prone to impulse purchases!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
okay no one ever understands me when i say i would rather buy IN PERSON at a store vs. online shopping ! i can confidently say i never online shop cause i hate waiting and i’d rather go on an adventure hunting it down anyways this is sooo spot on ! 😂
😂❤
I have a lot of things in common with the 7, but it is probably because I am in the positive outlook group. I spent a lot of time being active as a kid, but I also enjoyed being still while drawing, playing with dolls, and sitting in the tops of trees to enjoy the sound of the leaves in the rustling wind, and I still don't have a problem with downtime. One thing that stands out is I LOVE Peter Pan. It is my favorite ride in Disneyland because it feels magical, and there isn't a Peter Pan movie I don't love.
Ma'am you honestly said it all, made me so excited for wanting to be and do moree! I AGREE! but personally for me sign 9,im pretty patient with waiting. Yeah once in a while i could be like "is it here yet?" but i believe we can personally learn how to be patient.
Woot! Woot!
I'm so impatient that I listen to an audiobook at the same time as read another book on kindle .
😂
You are a breathe of fresh air Hillary. You nailed it for me at the restaurant! Then you got the whole boredom and caring thing. It’s our minds that are our downfall, I swear! Anyway, the shopping thing-here’s the thing, OPTIONS! It’s not about instant gratification, it’s about the options. I only shop with Amazon, because they do options so well. Just my little two cents. Keep feeding us your enthusiasm, you make this fun and refreshing! Peace and love to you 💖🤙 Karina
Thank you! Your words are so sweet! ❤❤❤
Wow! I’m just now discovering the Enneagram and I know I’m a 7, especially because number four CALLED ME OUT! I get really excited about EVERYTHING and love thinking about and planning it, but I have a real hard time finishing/actually completing the project.
Hahaha!!! I love you handle name! Thanks for sharing!
i can’t explain in a few short sentences how accurate this was. literally all of it.
❤️❤️❤️
I am definitely a type 7, I know I can drive my family crazy sometimes with my optimism 🤭
Trying new restaurants is one of my favorite hobbies as a 7w8!!!
🥳🥳🥳
haha I'm TOTALLY a 7! This is great! I love following your stuff! You know what's funny - I'm realizing so many things are aligning! I'm an Enneagram 7, an ENFP (Myers Briggs) and a Sagittarius! I notice SO many commonalities between these!
LOL I traveled the world and trying new restaurants is a must!
I've currently got six books on the go 😂 and about 800 projects that I started but am really struggling to finish 😅 pretty sure I'm a 7w6(sx/so)
THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you for sharing!!! 😂
Omgg sameee I'm also a 7w6 sx/so!!!
I am a type 7 and these are all spot on! Great video!
Awesome! Thank you!
I’m still working on narrowing down my number between 9 and 7 but I obviously relate so much to all of this! As far as sign number 4 I’m gung ho about an idea and will do it until it gets too hard or isn’t so fun anymore(depending on what the activity is) and then I usually want to move on. It’s that the idea of doing is often more fun than the actual doing so when the doing becomes not as fun let’s move on.
I so can relate!
I've done a few tests and got 7, 6, and 8 on those tests. So I've been trying to study the nuances of each of those. I think I may be a 7w6. I love adventuring, exploring, going and doing things. Can't stand being bored, or missing out on events, especially events where friends are doing something I like doing and I'm not there.
A funny story, in highschool I went for a class trip to the Culinary Institute of America, with my Culinary class mates. Everyone was given the option to pick one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert. Everyone else played it safe, I went all out. I had the lemongrass soup, herb-roasted Quail stuffed with Mango salsa, and don't remember the dessert. Never tried Lemongrass anything or Quail before.
My friends and I had been on a quest for the best burger in New Orleans for the past few years. New restaurants, new flavors. All of it.
I've been through a lot of hard, bad, difficult things in life so I've found I usually joke about things that hurt.
Yes I’m a seven and love to try new restaurants and foods!
Yes! Thank you for sharing!
I was introduced to enneagram this week, and I thought it was insane to be a seven, but as I hear it, it makes more and more sense, I’ve got 5 trips planned and I go insane if I don’t have a trip planned, my hobby is trying new restaurants, and this week someone hit my car and my first thought was “well, I’m going to a concert this week, so the car isn’t a problem till I’m over and done with the good part”.
And I’m a pole dance instructor… (I also have a travel blog and a post grad in fashion)
Check, check, and check, lol. Definitely all have been true, esp earlier on in my life. The stuff that has fallen off over the years are 2 FOMO, 4 leaving things unfinished, 6 being bored, and 9 impatience. My temperament has also gotten a lot less explosive and exuberant over the years, and I wouldn't be surprised if people typed me as a 4 or 5, because I can be very introverted, quirky, and observant. I may be a model of serenity and patience on the outside, but there is much excitement and imagination happening within, lol.
1.) I knew as a kid that getting old was not for me. Age is just a number, and that's a fact. As a 7w8, I highly object when people use phrases like "act your age", and talk about societal norms for how one "should" act. Peter Pan is a maverick, and he's a great character for a 7. We also seem magical and super creative, because we don't do boxes. When people try to put us in boxes, we are likely to say, "I've already tried that, no thanks."
3.) I love trying new things, esp delicious things. I'm okay with trying new clothes, styles, places, shows, etc, so yeah, that about covers it. I enjoy variety, but I can also enjoy the same thing. I laugh when people ask me where or what to eat, because I'll often be in the mood for something they find extreme, so I let people pick where to go, 'cause I'll enjoy anything. Like, I'll suggest to eat some super spicy Thai or Szechuan food, and then realize the person I'm with can't do spicy, LOL.
5.) Master reframing, that's for sure. I've expanded this to other areas as well, including writing and philosophy. The one that often shocks people is when I say "I can eat my cake, and ice cream too", which is reframed from "You can't have your cake, and eat it too". As a 7, I never understood that phrase. I'll eat some cake, ice cream, cookies, fruits, tarts, and like, the all available desserts at a party.
7.) I have a lot of things I enjoy doing, and a list of projects that are in the works for my life purpose. I'm doing a lot of digging into this enneagram stuff, 'cause it feels related to my grand project.
8.) This is very true, yes. Fun is integral in the experience and process. My saying is "Do what you love, and love how you do it."
10.) I have keen senses, so I thoroughly enjoy all the aspects of life and experiences. Colors, sounds, flavors, smells, physical sensations, feelings. All of these make life so vibrant and amazing. The more satisfying and delicious something is, the slower I eat, so people are surprised by how slow I eat at times, because I'm enjoying every bite, and savoring the experience.
I’m a 7 with anxiety and depression, so I feel like I can only relate to like half of this. Does that even make sense?
Totally! Not every 7 will relate to these. It’s depends on your wing, your subtype and level of health. Totally normal that you might not relate to these. ❤️
Same, I think I'm a type 7 but I have anxiety and depression so I can't relate to the stereotype of them being constantly happy or never crying. I've wondered if I'm a 4 too but still unsure. How'd you know your type?
hi!!! I'm also a 7 and I had depression and anxiety, but after medication and I moved from my toxic family I started seeing how everything alignes kinda???? like ii just love being active and try to see everything in this positive light but I need this variety anfnsnffkk I don't know I missed the point what I wanted to say is that it gets better and just feels like wow when you start seeing how you really are and that you can actually enjoy life and if you need to talk or just distract yourself I'm here :D
@@summero-my5in I thought that I was a 4 too but there are these differences and yeah I think I have this 4 tendencies but I'm mostly a 7 and 8 but I'm not that 8 anfnsmddk I say what I think and an true to what I believe and not scared to call someone out but not Workaholic or all to business I think. 7 is more about always having something to fill this kinda hole in me, and I just do things to fill me up because I kinda need it and I usually find more happiness or excitement in teh anticipation more than doing the thing itself or like my dream job would be giving amazing ideas but not really doing them akdkdkdlddl I also try to see things positively even when it is impossible because I can't stand pain and try to distract myself from it sometimes una. Bad way but yeah. That's what being a 7 is for me
@@mar-lo8ox I see, thank you! I’m 17 and I live w my toxic family so we have been in similar situations. I thought I was a 4 at first bc I’m not ALWAYS positive and I can be very emotional easily, but it’s also hard to be extra positive in this environment of people constantly pushing me down. Also I constantly just distract myself with new tasks and plan a million things to do even if I don’t do them, I enjoy the idea of it. And all I really want in the end is to be happy. I mean sure I’d like to be unique but I don’t think it’s my core desire. Anyway thanks for reading this, and I appreciate your input. I’m also glad you’re able to be more of yourself now!
Dang. I get stuck between 6 and 7 but honestly i relate to almost everything on this list. The only thing that's not like me is the positive reframe (i can do this sometimes with friends but never with myself. But for the most part i like to be realistic). And I'm not impatient with waiting in line or waiting for things but I'm EXTREMELY impatient with other people's behavior hahaha.
Great video 👍🏾
For a while, I thought I was a type 9. But, didn't see myself with everything that a 9 is. But today, I realised I'm a definite type 7/7w6, almost to a tee!
I’m a 7 and I 100% agree with all of these EXCEPT the ‘try new things on the menu’. I’m not really a foodie. I’ll lean into my 6 wing on that and just pick what I’m used to.
Yea type 7 here. I can get side tracked with projects. But I can’t stand when I don’t complete something. I stuff my unfinished project in the back of my mind and WILL come around into it again.
Pretty sure I’m a type 7. I have many times when going to a restaurant, especially when it’s one I have never been too, just told the waiter to give me “his favorite thing on the menu”, or “surprise me” or “whatever the chef makes himself for lunch”. This has made my wife super uncomfortable, even angry at how easy it is for me to just be surprised.
Wow! I would be super nervous with this but I admire people who can be so trusting and excited to try something new!
Resident 7 over here! Also, fellow Arizonian. Hello 🎉 Loved this video. I’m just starting my TH-cam journey and I’m determined to continue what I just started. I feel like I’ve almost not started things in the past because I’ve assumed I would not follow through.
Thanks for setting the stage for us!
You got this! What part of Arizona? What will your channel be about? I'll have to go check it out!
@@enneagramandcoaching Phoenix! I’m still figuring out exactly but East Africa travel and lifestyle is where I’m at now. But, as any seven would, I’m just excited to have fun with it 🤩 I think it’s hard for a seven to niche down since we want to talk about alllll the things.
i was kind of agreeing with some things until you said 7´s can’t finish things and get too excited in the idea of doing new things... that’s me to a T (i’m also an entp... so... yeah)
also i would much rather go to a store rather than order not just because of waiting but also because with quarantine i’ll take any opportunity to get outside
😂😂😂
For the shopping thing- It depends on the price. I wouldn’t normally go for instant gratification over missing out a great deal. Because fomo 😅
Good point!
I feel like I relate to both 7 and 4. But I definitely relate to everything you said here on Type 7 for sure.
7's!!!! I was so excited to see this and now, you know me (I think) well enough to expect my comment to be a book...lol. I hope you don't mind. they won't be in any sort of order because my note taking on what I wanted to say was kind of all over the place.
Growing up...I am in my 50's and I look at people my age and even younger and I'm like "they are most definitely an adult" and I don't feel like I fit into the "adult mold". At times I have made an effort to be more adult. At one point in my life I felt like people would be more accepting of me if I was more like my Mom (a 6)....I was good at acting that way BUT I was miserable and I woke up when one person commented "you are just like your Mom" and although I smiled outside, inside I was screaming "no...I am NOT!" days later someone else commented "You know, when you are not around your Mom, you are like a totally different person". That was the point where I began the long process of finding out who I really was. While I will admit adulting is a neccesity in life....It's not fun.and you know how 7's feel about fun. Pre-Covid it was a common thing to see posts from me saying "I'm done adulting...I'm going to Disney World". And I was seriously as excited or maybe more excited than any kid about going to Disney World.
FOMO! Oh yes! Until about a year ago I didn't even realize that was an actual thing but, oh my yes! It's the reason I have trouble going to bed at night....If anybody else is still up especially, I am afraid I am going to miss something....something fun! That's also my experience in restaurants. I nhave trouble making up my mind because I might miss out on something good. With new restaurants, if I know I am going ahead of time I will study the menu ahead of time so I will not have to face indecision when I get there. Sometimes this works, other times I hear what other people are ordering and I think "ooh....that sounds good" and I abandone my original plan. I remember one time my family went to Epcot and we went to different countries there ordering food. We would order one meal and share it, then move on to the next country to try something else.
Finishing...well, I was actually talking about this with a friend earlier this week and she was like "But I know you finish things all the time". And I was like "Well, you hear about the things I finish, you don't hear aboutt he things I start and don't finish. And that is true to a point but I think my 6 wing kind of pushes me to finish things because I need to do the responsible thing. So, probably it's more of an issue when I start something on my own. If I am doing something for someone else I do feel pushed to finish it. And I realized just now this could have to do with the 3 in my tri-type...if there's competition or even if I'm just wanting to show off (that sounds bad) I will finish and finish grandly. I'll include my thoughts about books here too. I might have a list of books I want to read but the odds are, it isn't going to happen mainly because reading is a solitary thing...I want to be with a group or at least with another person and that's not conducive to reading.
Being bored....I HATE being BORED!!! Sadly the smart phone almost always makes that not a problem...waiting in line...pull out the phone. Call someone, text someone, play a game, scroll through social media, study the enneagram, find memes about being patient or not being patient. I'm telling you these things may not have been invented by 7s but there were definitely invented for 7s. Now when I'm at work doing webinars...yeah, that doesn't work. I can handle the first hour and stay focused but like yesterday I had one that lasted 3 hours! and by hour 2 they had pretty much lost me. In person meetings I can do more than an hour no problem. Okay well, I guess as long as it is partiaally interactive I can handle long meetings...like all day long meetings. Now this one I was at was so boring...they just had different people up there talking the WHOLE time. When it was time to do the evaluation at the end, I let them know they needed to plan for the adults just like they did for the kids meeting, break it up with fun things between speakers, do interactive things. My parting shot to them that day was "Don't make me sit here and wonder why I don't have a fidget spinner"
Reframing - I'm the Queen. Even when my ex-husband (who I had been married to over 30 years) died in December within just a few hours I had decided this really was the best thing for him because he was headed for a world of heartbreak and I really didn't want to see what this person was going to do to him. I see the reframing as a good thing most of the time. I am working on sitting with my feelings as they come, not rushing to reframe.
Jobs...I'll keep this one short. At least half of those things I have done or considered doing.
Store or online....Store if I knew for sure they had exactly what I wanted
Know what I want: Yes. I want to do the things God wants me to do. I want to be happy, I want everyone else to be happy, I want my people to be around me. I want hugs and I want quality time and I want to be present to life.
I'm sorry this is so long. I will try to control myself better next time. Maybe you can look at this as me making up for being quiet for that month or so.
Lorrie, I LOVE your comments! This one was such an amazing view into who you are. Thank you for taking the time to write it. All of it was so good. Loved how you broke it down piece by piece and answered it.
Think I'm a 7. My phone has books on it, so I can always read instead of wasting time in a waiting room. Peter pan, check. Downside, scattered, check. Thanks
I’m a 7 and have a makeup artistry biz. I also work on the side as a fashion stylist and have a degree in Theatre and am a singer. Yeah...all these things and the fact that there are so many things means I am a classic 7.
I am having so much trouble finishing out my doctorate and the pandemic has made it SO difficult. I relate to that part so much. And the reframing part doesn't help because it fuels excuses for me to not worry about not finishing it. Like I'm not depressed about graduating late but... I'm stuck.
It's definitely me. Is there a problem? Ok, what Can We do with this to make it better?
Love it!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome Margaret!
I’m definitely a type 7 ( no question) but the other wings definitely play a role. I’ll check that out. Loved your video. Very thorough thank you.
Sounds like a Type 1 in Carol Tuttle’s program “ It’s just my nature” and her Dressing Your Truth program. She goes by facial features , hands and then nature.,
Love it, thanks Hillary! :)
❤❤❤
I literally did that last night...I dropped my original plans to go buy a top in a store instead of ordering it online and having to wait 🤣
😂😂😂
I am all of these things 😁 but im also ambitious and can be goal oriented and that comes from my wing 8
Yes, when I want something I want it now LOL ... and I HAAAAATE Lines ... so when we go to Disney (I love it) but I refuse to wait in any of the lines lol
Adding another one, LOL, the joy of life so resonates with me. Thank you for your coaching/helping us determine who we really are. But do we ever really know? Ha ha, probably not! Have a blessed day!
You are so welcome!
7 -Bartender I love holding court at work. I have never order anything on Amazon I hate waiting!
This describes mostly except for the impatient. I am a very patience person. But I would rather shop in person so I can see it and touch it. And see if there is something better 😁
I have heard that from other 7s too! LOL!
Buying in person is better for me, but I can be impulsive so I like Amazon because I can put it in a list and then come back later and pick and chose what I'm actually going to buy and waiting two days is something I dont like, but can handle bc I go and focus elsewhere in the meantime.
Literally went to the store yesterday to get new headphones. Could not wait to get them online in the mail. They didn't have it in one store, so I went to another one that day to get it right aways!
In the video for signs of type 8, I found myself in some questions, such as love of power and love of imposing opinion, but I did not find myself in all the questions, such as saying no easily, but in this video, most of the questions apply to me
So I do not know whether I am seven or eight, knowing that I like the personality of eight more and I feel that seven is a little reckless personality from the description of the sites, although I am the most calm person in problems, even the big problems
Loved your video! Thanks, I’m definitely a 7 😊
You’re so welcome!
Spot on for this 7 with 6 and 8 wings equally! I'm a big time FOODIE! And DEFINITELY have FOMO!
That FOMO thing relates to the really important things in my life! Not Fomo for distractions!
I love books and as a 7, I only finish about 1/3 of the books I start. There are so many books out there! Why waste time on one that's not for me?
😂
I may be the 7iest 7 that ever 7ed. Hahaha. Great video!
And apparently I just left the 77th comment on this video!
LOVE THIS!!!!!
❤❤❤
“I have a friend who is reading books at the same time” - me, looking at the 8 books taken from the library, only waiting to be finished
😂
I related to everything, I think I am a hardcore 7!! :D
Yes!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Lol I think I am a 7w6. I thought I was a 9w1 because my energy isnt as high as I thought a 7 would be but I do know what I want and am not self forgetting like at all. I never wanted to grow up I kwpt going trick or treating until I was a teen and was mad when people told me I was too old for it. I am always late cuz I get distracted but I'm always like oh no I'm gonna miss things so rushing to get there 😅. Tapas is my favorite thing small bites of everything for the win. I do like shopping online but hate waiting. I just like to see all of the options in front of me I do like thrifting though that is an adventure
im a 7w8, i was asking my friends to guess mine and they all got it so quick lol
🤣
Oof. I related to all this so hard *guilty looks at the 483 unfinished projects and 57 unread books*. Now I'm wondering if we mistyped me (8w9 so/sp). Time to go watch mistyping videos. And how dare you say Peter Pan isn't real! We were BFFs until I was 12 and not allowed to go back to Neverland because of some technicality about it being only for kids.
OMG! Love this! ❤😅
Yes going to the store also because I can talk to people as well
👏👏👏
I should have waited til the end to comment all my thoughts but I can be impatient, shocker.🤣😜 The point about ordering or going to a store to get it...100% going to go pick it up. I’m too excited to wait or else I just want it out of my mind to move on to the next thing.
Hahaha!!!!!
I think I'm not 7 dominant, but do have it in my tritype. Like I relate,but I don't at the same time. I'm grounded also desire to be happy, I hate being carefree. I also hate Living,I don't hate missing out.
Carefree is different than not caring!
Married to a 7... he hates lineups. He will go to the truck while I cash out if there is more than two people in the line. Also... he discovered Amazon during Covid... That is shopping Nirvana for him!!!
😂😂😂
I don't see a Growth for 2 video. Is there one? Thanks, Stephanie
Spot on!
❤
Oh yeah!!! I love new restaurants and places, had more FOMO a when I was younger but I still have that at times! I also reframe ALL the time and am very able to see my future/goals. OMG I hate waiting hahaha you hit me BANG on....I am such a STORE shopper! ☺️ 7’s for the WIN 🙌
Hahahaha! YES!!!
I related to all of these, but I'm a 4 with 7 in my tritype. Most people read me as a 7.
Seven here and I definately would go but it from the store if I can get it now.
Pretty much all 10 hit me although Fomo is not as bad as I've gotten older.
I don't ever want the same thing twice. Imma 7 🥳
😂👏
Love your channel! you are describing me to a T. scary and cool at the same time
Thank you!!!! Love that!
I believe i can relate to the signs the only thing is the jobs you mentioned they are absolutely interesting for me but as hobby cuz i believe it's gonna be boring after time, and i believe i would search for something super serious such as a politician, high rank definitely
U got it full on girl!!!!!! ALL ME!!!!❤️
Woot! Woot! 🎉
This is all so true!
I don't online shop because I'm so optimistic that I end up thinking something will suit me that is completely wrong for me 😂
At this point, I feel like a literal embodiment of the type 7, lol.
I'm 7 and Rarely order online!
😂
