Type 8w7s combine the Challenger's raw power with the Enthusiast's appetite for life. They are the most outwardly energetic and expansive Eights — bold, charismatic, entrepreneurial, and in constant motion. The Seven wing gives them a love of variety, a quick wit, and a magnetic social presence. They are visionaries who move fast, take risks, and bring enormous energy to their ambitions.
The
Blend
The Seven wing adds enthusiasm, humor, and a love of stimulation. They are more outgoing and entertaining than 8w9s, more willing to take risks and try new things. Their power is expressed expansively — they want more of everything.
At Their Best
A visionary leader who combines extraordinary personal power with infectious enthusiasm and the drive to build something genuinely great.
Under Stress
Reckless, domineering, and excess-driven — using power to get more of everything while running roughshod over anyone in the way.
Type 8s always have one of two wings. See how 8w7 compares to 8w9.
