Enthusiast

This personality type is named after their enthusiastic and endless energy, which helps to keep them busy and constantly optimistic out and about in the world.

They love to learn new things, and will often talk your ear off with their questions and stories. This personality type loves to talk about themselves and their experiences, particularly if they have recently achieved a new accomplishment. Even once home, their minds are constantly firing with new ideas for work.

This personality type is well-known for their storytelling, and they have a wide range of hobbies that give them unique experiences to draw on. They are very enthusiastic and can even be considered childlike in their positive outlook on the world around them.

Sevens are most likely to distract themselves with exciting and pleasurable new pursuits. This helps them to forget about the parts of the world that are less positive. They are part of the ‘head-based’ Enneagram triad, and belong in the same section as types Five and Six.

Seven’s would rather repress their core emotion of fear than face it, and are often found using positive experiences to mask their inner fear. This lets them come off as fearless, even when they are constantly afraid. This personality type needs to focus on their growth through embracing their inner fears.

This personality type is also prone to underplaying negative emotions and experiences, and can come off as out-of-touch, or narcissistic through their need to reframe every experience as a positive one. They will look for silver linings in any situation, and when healthy, can act as inspiration and help to uplift those around them with their optimism.

Sevens are creative, imaginative people. They are great at using their experiences to make new ideas or methods of thinking, but can struggle with maintaining focus and being aware of other people's time.
