They embody the Peter Pan/Puck archetype.This is a community for discussion of the Enneagram and related topics. 7’s can be super nice and friendly or “savage” and arrogant. They have a way of overlooking the worst qualities in others or allowing themselves to be taken by an ideal of a person. They use playfulness and fun to get their way and would rather be concerned with their own desires. They are colourful (figuratively or literally) and live in a kaleidoscope.ħ’s are not naturally comfortable with hierarchies and power structures. They will use magical thinking to scan the cosmos far and wide connecting all kinds of disparate ideas and experiences. They are natural skimmers and traverse a wide range of subjects and experiences.ħ’s can sometimes put their more unpleasant emotions on the back burner and they can leak out in bursts. As smart as they can be, at times they gloss over things and overestimate what they know. 7’s will work for something when they want it, they just don’t have a superego response to be “responsible.”ħ’s can be more physically-minded but can also be very intellectual. There’s always a way to fill a situation with energy and fun and 7’s infect others with their childlike positivity. 7’s with self-preservation or 8 wing can be hard workers, and will rarely ever complain about being bored. This is not to say that they aren’t hard workers. They are always looking for shortcuts to skip the hard stuff or find ways of avoiding the reality that they can’t have what they want. They are positive and optimistic, and don’t like to dwell in negativity for too long before boiling over it with a joke. It difficult for them to accept that they might not be able to get what they want, and so they can come across as idealists or dreamers. They have lots of “wants” and have a streak of entitlement with regards to getting those wants. 7’s distract themselves with plenty to avoid pain, anxiety, and sadness.
