hey guys welcome back to my channel we are continuing the Enneagram wing series by going
over wait for it the type 8 the challenger today i'm excited to continue the series and today we
are actually gonna go backwards I started with the 9 the peacemaker cuz that's what I am and I
had originally thought we'll all go to the one next but I have so many requests for the type 8
but I thought why don't I go backwards so that's what I'm gonna do we're gonna come backwards and
so we're gonna own what the eight on this video and some quick housekeeping before we dive into
the type eight swings is if you haven't already please subscribe it means the world to me it keeps
me going I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm actually doing two videos a week now and so
pushing that subscribe button oh my gosh it helps so much and liking it I guess in these YouTube
analytics it's super important for the videos to get a thumbs up so if you don't mind please push
the thumbs up okay so without further ado let's dive into today's video the Taipei the Challenger
they are resourceful protective um very assertive can be strong self-confident that's usually just
the the description that you get when you're reading about an eight a brief description
side note I'm actually married to a challenger I'm a type 9 married to a type 8 I actually am
finding that's a very common pairing I've had a lot of people leave comments on my youtube
channel and let me know that they're they're either a 9 or 8 and married to a 9 or 8 so I
think that's amazing the wings of the eight are the two numbers on either side and so you have
two eight so their wings would be the seven and the nine uh you can't have any other wings if your
dominant type is an eight they're always the ones on either side of your dominant type you can feel
like other numbers at time there's reasons for that we won't get into that today but the wings
of an eight are type seven and then type nine so the wings affect the behavior of the dominant type
not the core motivations those core motivations don't change that's why that's your dog type but
the behaviors that you can have can change based on the wing that you leave more towards and that's
where you can have two of any of the same dominant type to people and they look completely different
well one might be more prone to use the nine wing and the other one might be more prone to use that
seven wing and they are gonna look you know quite different at times and so that's the reason behind
that all right so they ate with the seven ways they are called the Maverick they are outgoing
ambitious energetic and pulse' they prefer to blaze their own Trail they're okay with conflict
and so yeah so that's kind of a little bit about that eight with suddenly moving over to the eight
with the nine wing they are called the bear and actually my husband is an eight with a Nightwing
and they are supportive cooperative approachable modest more quiet and gentle a natural leader they
have a great deal of patience and they could be great at leading others with support and
guidance and moving back over to that eight with a seven wing I want to go over a little bit of when
they're struggling and what that looks like they could be more focused on gaining control and power
when struggling can be impatient demanding and can lack compassion at times and then the eight with
the nine wing when struggling surprisingly they could be more intimidating with an unpredictable
temper and their aggressiveness and control and demands actually come out at work and at home
they remain more passive and accommodating and so those are the two differences between the eight
with the seven wing the Maverick and the eight with inhaling but there so I just wanted this to
be a very brief teaching to help you understand which wing you might lean towards more or if you
have an eighth in your life which one shows up more with them and so what I tell people is you
can actually use both wings but usually one is typically dominant over the other I've heard
other people say you know earlier in your life you lean towards wallowing in the lair of the
other I've heard people say you know actually I don't use either wing I don't think or I use
both at times I know for me I've a more I have a dominant wing but I can access the other wing
what I need to and I do okay so that's all I have for you guys today I hope this helped explain the
Wings a little better I'm interested to know which wing you have if you're a type 8 or any
type really leave them in the comments below I'd love to see which wing do you lean more towards
and why if you want more info on me my Instagram is Hillary underscore Bukowski under for coaching
and I also have another Instagram that I recently made that's just about the Enneagram and that is
actually called Enneagram and coaching so you just type that into your new search bar and Instagram
and I should come up so those are the two ways to find me you have any other questions leave
them in the comments below and I'll get back to them as soon as I can until next time guys bye
