MBTI Guide: Enneagram Type 7

Text overlay on two interlocking circles. One circle reads "MBTI" and the other reads "Enneagram 7 (The Enthusiast)."

 Enneagram Type 7 also known as the Enthusiast, is a personality type characterized by curiosity, spontaneity, and an insatiable thirst for adventure. This type is often described as the life of the party, with a contagious exuberance that draws others in. Enthusiasts are drawn to new experiences and can become quickly bored with routine, always seeking out new challenges and opportunities.


Famous people who embody the Enthusiast type include Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, and comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Branson's boundless energy and eagerness to take risks have led to his success in various industries, while DeGeneres is known for her infectious enthusiasm and upbeat personality on and off stage. Fictional characters who exemplify this type include Aladdin from the Disney movie of the same name, with his love of adventure and desire for a life outside the palace walls, and Tony Stark aka Ironman, whose penchant for thrill-seeking and constant innovation fuel his heroic exploits and technological achievements.


Enneagram Type 7 individuals possess a unique ability to see the world as full of possibilities and opportunities, and their unbridled enthusiasm can be an inspiration to those around them. However, their constant need for stimulation can sometimes lead to impulsive decisions, and their avoidance of negative emotions can cause them to overlook important issues or become defensive when confronted. Understanding the complexities and motivations of this personality type can help individuals better navigate their relationships with Enthusiasts in their personal and professional lives.


The Enneagram Type 7w6


Also known as the Enthusiast with a 6 wing, is characterized by a lively and optimistic personality. This type is commonly associated with individuals who are spontaneous, adventurous, and seeking experiences. In addition, their 6 wing adds a layer of loyalty, anxiety, and skepticism to their overall personality.


People with this personality type are often outgoing, social, and enjoy being surrounded by others. They have an innate ability to find joy in life and inspire others around them. However, their enthusiasm can sometimes lead to impulsivity and distraction, as they continually seek new experiences to satisfy their ever-growing thirst for adventure. They value their independence and freedom, but can struggle with commitment and staying still for too long.


Famous figures who embody the characteristics of the Enneagram Type 7w6 include Robin Williams, Will Smith, and Oprah Winfrey. Fictional characters such as Peter Pan, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story also exhibit traits of this personality type. Despite their differences, all these individuals share an infectious energy and love for life that is characteristic of the Enthusiast with a 6 wing. Understanding this personality type can help individuals better navigate their own personal growth and develop successful relationships with others.


Enneagram Type 7w8


The Enneagram Type 7w8 is one of the most interesting personality types in the Enneagram system. People who belong to this type are known for their high-energy, adventure-seeking, and proactive nature. These individuals are often charming, charismatic, and confident, and they possess a strong desire for excitement, new experiences, and stimulation. Although they have a tendency to avoid pain and discomfort, they are not afraid of taking risks and pushing themselves out of their comfort zones.
