T30 - The Enthusiast (Type7)

We talk about Enneagram Type 7 - The Enthusiast; their strengths, weaknesses, and comparison to Bible characters.

Enneagram Type 7

Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied.

Basic Fear: Of being deprived and in pain
Basic Desire: To be satisfied and content—to have their needs fulfilled

Key Motivations: Want to maintain their freedom and happiness, to avoid missing out on worthwhile experiences, to keep themselves excited and occupied, to avoid and discharge pain.

Bible figure: King Solomon 

Strengths

You’re a straightforward, even aggressive, leader, and you care intensely about justice.
