eNNEAGRAM TYPE 7:The Enthusiast


The Busy, Variety-Seeking type:
Spontaneous, Versatile, Acquisitive, and Scattered

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
