Enneagram 7 Nickname: “The Enthusiast” or “The Epicure” (also called “The Multitasker”, “The Energizer”, “The Generalist”, “The Wunderkind”, “The Dilettante”)
Type 7s are easy to get along with and tend to have an infectious, positive energy. They have lots of interests and are involved in a constant stream of activities. They like to keep their options open. There is a ‘grass is always greener’ mentality among 7s who fear they are missing out. Because 7s want it all, it’s tough for them to focus on one thing at a time and follow through. They don’t like to commit and are master planners who are always dreaming of and plotting their next adventure. 7s value happiness above all and don’t like to dwell on negative emotions.
