What does a 7w8 sx/sp look like? Any good descriptions around?
7w6: for comparison, 7w6 is typically more imaginative, fantastical and has an energy more like a fox (7w8 typically comes off more like a wolf, hyena or chimpanzee). they typically have a slightly nervous energy about them and a more childlike charm to their personalities. being 7s, they are still core assertive types (3, 7 and 8), but the 6 wing softens 7's narcissistic tendencies (in contrast to the 8 wing, which magnifies them), adds a touch of caution and often results in a stronger tendency to second guess oneself.
Really good 7w6 description.

Oh dang! Just read sexual 7 too. Link please.
Sexual 7: Suggestibility.
Sexual Sevens tend to merge with whatever ideas, plans, or people they come into contact with. So they are easily influenced, especially by their partner or someone they are attracted to. The prospect of a relationship with someone sets off their mapping and planning, and the relationship gets projected well into the future, with infinite possibilities appearing just over the horizon. So they are suggestible in the sense of being easily swayed and impacted, as well as in the sense of being easily propelled into myriad fantasies by or about a relationship. The passion of gluttony appears here in the many attractions that Sexual Sevens tend to have and in their difficulty in forming deep, long-term contact with one person.
^I think the "actually not very sexual" part is bullshit, but other than that, I think this is a good descriptionSexual: Suggestibility. More extraterrestrial; actually not very sexual—more poetic, more the dreamer.
The "charmed charmer." Prestidigitator. More narcissistic. Like being in love, more enthusiastic
("Tomorrow my enthusiasm might take me in another direction"), mania. Not so much into pleasures of
this world, more extraterrestrial. May not be very sexual in the literal sense.
Sexual/Self-pres
The energy of the sexual instinct is, in some ways, at odds with the type Seven fixation. The Seven’s focus is future oriented and outward, away from the inner world, while the sexual variant is instinctual and dwells on the inner self as far as relationships and identity are concerned. This combination can make for a Seven that can be Four-like in many ways. They can have a flamboyant style and be very moody and intense. In relationships, there is often a push-pull quality. They are very attracted to the falling in love part. The buzz and high of that is very stimulating to them, almost drug-like for them. Their problems come when that buzz wears off. They want to recreate it again and again, but they also have a way of becoming attached and sometimes very dependent on their romantic partners. On the down side, they can be very clingy but don’t want at the same time to lose their freedom. When unhealthy, they can be very selfish in these relationships, things become one-sided in a way that favors the interests of the Seven.
The sexual/self-pres Seven’s addictive behavior with relationships can extend to other areas, like music, and performing in general. The rock star image and lifestyle can be attractive to the sexual Seven. Many rock stars are sexual Sevens the buzz they experience from music can be similar to what they experience in relationships. Creativity can also function as a release of frustration from the boredom.
Sexual 7s: the darkest subtype of 7 and the most in touch with 7's feelings of frustration. they're also the most introverted variant, spending lots of time dreaming of far off fantasies because, generally, there is little in the real world that really stimulates them. as a result, they often mistype as 4s and will not usually relate to the bubbly, party animal stereotype that has (quite inaccurately) been attached to 7. sexual 7s typically gravitate toward vibrant, attention grabbing dress and have a keen eye and appreciation for beauty.

PS: another 7w6/7w8 difference I've noticed is that 7w8's energy seems to be constantly pushing toward something. 7w6s tend to alternate between driven/forward pushing and a more 9-ish, mellow energy. we typically need more down time than 7w8s
based on this, you likely have a 3w4 fix[MENTION=5684]Elfboy[/MENTION], thanks for all this wonderful information. I'll ask more detailed info when I'm not typing from my cell.
One quick thing - I'm not very flamboyant, whether it be clothes, appearance or histrionic behaviour. I can be moody though, but I simmer, ticking like a bomb, and then I burst.
I am very easily influenced to try things. I am ambitious but it's not so much for material gains or recognition from others as I have this dark underbelly to my personality where I think I'm better/more capable than I perhaps really am. And the ambition is to prove that self-fulfilling prophecy. I am my own worst cut-throat competitor, if that makes sense?
I agree with the detached from reality and fantasising and with parts of the way sx/sp are in romantic relationships, but not all. I need to quote the proper sections with my comments - when I'm not on my phone.

Of course!!!
....what does that mean? Fix?
/ennea-idiot
a "fix" is a type from your trifix (also known as your tritype). according to tritype theory (which I subscribe to, not everyone does), each person has a core type, but also two types, one from each of the other two centers, which also influence the personality.
for instance, you type as a 7. 7 is a head type, so you would also have a gut type (1, 8 or 9) and a heart type (2, 3 or 4) impacting your personality.
for example, I am a 7w6>1w9>4w3

social anxiety is very much antithetical to triple Id 7w8. a triple Id 7w8 would be much more callous and have a more opportunistic outlook with regards to social interaction (many people mistyped at 7w8/8w7 will disagree with me, but that's fine). despite being a head type, 7w8s don't experience much in the way of anxiety and are not naturally inclined to care about how they are perceived unless it is useful for them to be taken well (for instance, if they're selling you something)
based on what I've seen of you on the forum, you seem 7w6>1w9>3w4/4w3 Sx/Sp (shit, you're really similar to me LOL). you seem more self contained and upright to be triple Id
remember that all 7s are assertive types, so they're going to value their freedom and independence and are more than willing to assert their needs and preferences.
