- Perhaps you’ve discovered your main Enneagram Type and started digging into your Core Motivations and path to growth. The next step is to discover your Wing!
Everyone is a blend of their main Type and the two Types directly adjacent to it on the Enneagram. For example, a Type 2 will also demonstrate several of the characteristics of both a Type 1 and a Type 3. We use both our adjacent Types to some degree, and each number brings a unique flavor to our personalities. You can think of wings like salt and pepper that enhance the flavor of a beautifully cooked filet mignon (your main Type)!
Most of us gravitate to one of our adjacent Types more than the other, and that’s called our Wing. This is one of the reasons you may know two people of the same Enneagram Type who think and behave very differently.
I’m a Type 9 with a strong 8 wing. I notice myself exhibiting Type 8 characteristics when I passionately protect the vulnerable and help others gain more self-awareness, and when I’m bold and assertive. My 8 qualities motivate me, and make me a force (both good and bad) to be reckoned with at times!
You may have heard people talking about their wings, but maybe you didn’t have a firm understanding or know how to use this knowledge as a tool for growth. I’m here to help! In this series, we’ll dive into the way each Type’s Wing influences their thoughts, words, and actions. I hope these Enneagram insights will lead you to more understanding of the way you were intricately created, accelerating your transformation and freedom.

😂she's so comfortably crazy. Its amazing to witness!
It helps my understanding so much when you refer to "using" rather than "being" the wings. Behaviorally, I don't seem to display too many actions of either of my wings, but the idea of using them to enhance my core number and tendencies opens the door to strategies for growth into the best version of myself.
thank you so much for this video!! it was super insightful and helpful :)
Fantastic. This is one of the best, if not the best, explanation/breakdown of the wings. I appreciate your series and all the work that you do. I eagerly await all of your videos. What would you recommend for further study that impacted your practice and understanding of this beautiful system?
Thank you. I am so glad these have been so helpful to you. Talking to and asking questions to people who are well versed in their Type will help you to understand the Types on a much deeper level. Be curious and learn from the Types themselves.
I'm a 7w6, very helpful and accurate 👌
Great explanation, really helped.
Agreed
I'm type 8 and recently realized I'm 8w9. Any time I read or listen somehing about the nastiness of type 8 I'm like yeah I do have that in me as fist impulse but I really work hard to not be a jerk! First of all because people deserve to be treated decently just for being people, and secondly because life is just much nicer when you pay attention to how you treat people! If that's not wing 9 then I don't know what is :) Also I relate a lot to "really don't want to bring out the big guns unless they have to" and to controlling situations more with the presence than by acting out. One more thing I read/heard is that an 8w9 is more likely to choose their battles carefully instead of reacting to everyhing that outrages them, for me it's definitely true. I do have access to w7 too if the situation really calls for it but that doesn't come as naturally as w9.
How come there's nothing about the instincts? Would love information on them.
I am a type 8, when I was younger, I think I was an 8w7 but as I grow older and if I want people to respect me, I had to become an 8w9. Interesting. thank you this was very helpful.
I took the enneagram several times. I keep getting the same result(I scored highest at 9 and 7 one percent off, and a tad bit lower score 5) my question is it possible for the three types to show in different situations? Like can one be more dominant at different times? I identify with them all. Good video!
Thank you
I'm a 9 wing 1. In order to grow does that mean I have to use my 8 wing more to integrate to a 3? How do I do that? Thanks.
