this is the basic gist I get of the differences. feel free to add or, refute any of my observations
- if 8w9 is The Bear, 8w7 is The Wolverine
- 8w7s tend to have higher energy and respond swiftly and with sudden intensity while 8w9s are slower moving
- 8w9s are the boundary setters of the enneagram. they tend to be generally agreeable until you cross their boundaries which they will hold firmly and be extremely stubborn, even if that person hold a lot of power and influence.
- conversely, 8w7 is the conqueror of the enneagram. they have, big, high energy and virile personalities. if 8w9s are boundary setters, 8w7s are the boundary pushers, trying to expand their relational, social and financial territory. many 8w7s I've met (8w7s who didn't know about the enneagram) have made some reference to being like a caged predator at a zoo.
- 8w7s more often seek to be dominant, 8w9s seek to more to not be submissive
- most type 8 descriptions lean 8w7, so many 8w9s are likely to mistype because they don't relate to the 8w7's more overt aggression. also, 8w9s in general seem to be less overtly 8
- conversely, introverted 8w7s (usually an ISTP or an INTJ) are likely to mistype as 8w9
- similar to their overall personality, the anger of an 8w7 is more high energy whereas the anger of an 8w9 is like an erupting volcano. 8w7s will tear you apart; 8w9s will crush you.
- 8w9s carry their energy more in their stomach whereas the energy of an 8w7 seems to be carried more in the back and sides of the torso.
- 8w7s tend to lead more active, intense and involved lifestyles. 8w9s are more low key and seem to prefer a more relaxed existence with the occasional amusement of a legitimate confrontation
- 8w9s tend to be a little more stern whereas 8w7s have a silly side
