Sage is entangled eternally in competition with something - usually herself - and has a pragmatic approach to life. While carrying herself in a manner that implies she already 'knows' the right and best way forward, she is acutely aware that she has much to do to improve upon her intellectual abilities and physical strength which in turn intensifies her desire to master any and every topic that tickles her interest and can become obsessed with pursuits when they continue to hold her interest for an extended period of time. Possessing an outdoorswoman's heart, Sage is infatuated with heights and will find any excuse to climb and perch just to be that much closer to the sky. Suspect of odd numbers, Sage will sometimes bend over backwards to make sure she surrounded by even numbers including such superstitions that she arrive to an lesson on an even stride count. Fluctuating between being a bold of dreamer and the bitter of pessimists, Sage can be overbearing and abrasive to even those closest to her and is certainly not the best person to find yourself in a group project with her authoritarian tendencies. A girl who would rather be right than be popular, Sage struggles with being soft and vulnerable in a social setting and insists that sass and sarcasm are her love languages. Despite the personal hurtles and hindering biases she must sift through in order to establish friendships, her trust and allegiance is ferocious once earned - unless one were to foolishly betray that allegiance.

Text Cut: Gryffindor + Capricorn

While not the most common sign for Gryffindors to be born under, the combination of Gryffindor aims with Capricorn traits results in wizard who are exceptionally well balanced. For once, here are Gryffindors who will not go charging off on quests without first making thorough preparations and arranging for backup. They are resourceful, well-grounded, and self confident, hard workers, and extremely reliable. You can always trust a Gryffindor Capricorn's word; they will not only mean it when they say they will do something, they will follow through successfully. House Prefects often come from this sign, because they are responsible, good students and natural leaders. What many people forget about the Capricorn is that they are part goat, they are also part mermaid. The mermaid half represents all the fanciful dreams and lofty ambitions that the quiet Capricorn often hides beneath an unassuming surface. Perhaps Capricorns are sorted into this House because the House needs balance, but those hidden dreams and whimsies probably have a lot to do with it, too.

Text Cut: Enneagram Type 7: The Enthusiast

Sevens are defined by their desire to experience everything life has to offer while avoiding pain and boredom. They appear to others to be lively, fun-loving and hedonistic.

Sevens are often very busy people who bounce from one activity to another in their quest to squeeze every possible bit of enjoyment out of life.

Deepest Fear: Sevens fear getting stuck in a rut and missing out on the good life. They cope with this fear by constantly seeking out exciting, novel, and fun experiences.

Core Motivations: More than anything, Sevens want to avoid feeling bored, sad or uninspired.

Wide-eyed and filled to the brim with endless energy, Enthusiasts are the playful and busy optimists of the world.

Their relentless curiosity for new information and experiences play into their (often impressive) stories and gift for gab. At the end of a workday, their minds are often still buzzing with new ideas to explore.

They’re charming storytellers with a passion for many different hobbies, and see the glass as half full. Bright and expressive, Enthusiasts see the world as their playground and can be considered the ‘eternal children’ of the Enneagram.

Sevens seek pleasure and excitement as a way to distract from the darker, more painful aspects of life. They belong to the “head-based” triad of the Enneagram, along with Types Five and Six.

Unlike the Six, who face fear in a straightforward way, Sevens are motivated to repress and ignore fears in favor of positive experiences. On the outside, this thrill-seeking type may appear fearless, but it is when Sevens learn to embrace their fears that they truly grow.

Upbeat and optimistic, Sevens can easily reframe negative emotions into positive ones. Internally, they downplay negative experiences and look for silver linings. When healthy, Sevens are extremely uplifting and inspiring people. When less healthy, this type may show up as out-of-touch with reality, or even narcissistic.

Sevens are often very imaginative and creative. They excel in coming up with new ideas and initiating experiences. However, they can struggle with focus and self-discipline.

Whimsical and free-spirited, Enthusiasts experience life with bright eyes and an open mind. With an impressively wide and far-reaching collection of talents and interests, they have active imaginations that soar and shine when gifted with new and exciting opportunities.

At work, they are highly productive and get along well with others. They tend to climb the corporate ladder fairly easily and become a favorite in the lunchroom.

With an infinite number of topics to talk about, their natural charisma draws in even the shyest of individuals. When faced with change, they strut forward with pride and boldly traverse through the unknown.

Text Cut: Myer-Briggs Type: ENFP, The Champion

ENFPs are people-centered creators with a focus on possibilities and a contagious enthusiasm for new ideas, people and activities. Energetic, warm, and passionate, ENFPs love to help other people explore their creative potential.

ENFPs are typically agile and expressive communicators, using their wit, humor, and mastery of language to create engaging stories. Imaginative and original, ENFPs often have a strong artistic side. They are drawn to art because of its ability to express inventive ideas and create a deeper understanding of human experience.

ENFPs tend to be curious about others and preoccupied with discovering the deeper meaning in people and ideas. They want authentic experience and often seek emotional intensity. ENFPs are easily bored by details and repetition and seek out situations that offer an escape from the mundane. Novelty is attractive to ENFPs, who often have a wide range of interests and friends from many backgrounds.

ENFPs prize individuality and often consider the pursuit of happiness to be the highest priority in life, both for themselves and for others. They place great importance on personal freedom and self-expression, and want to be able to go wherever inspiration leads.

Text Cut: Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

Excellent communicators: ENFPs have outstanding communication skills and they know how to use them. They will engage anyone in conversation at the drop of a hat, and they know how to draw others out in a way that keeps the discussion flowing. Whether casually shooting the breeze or collaborating in the workplace, ENFPs provide the horsepower that keeps the engine of conversation humming along.

Imaginative: ENFPs are imaginative problem solvers and reject the idea that traditional ways are always the best. In every situation they believe an original approach is possible—and desirable—and they refuse to become prisoners of habit or routine. They see roadblocks as opportunities, and they confront every challenge they face with fresh eyes and no preconceived notions.

Natural leaders: ENFPs step forward to assume positions of leadership readily and instinctively. They are confident in their ability to handle demanding responsibilities many people find scary or intimidating. ENFP leaders are consensus builders who work hard to gain the trust of their associates, patiently listening to their ideas and reacting enthusiastically to their good suggestions. Their assertive, “can-do” attitude inspires others and motivates them to action.

Strong social conscience: Often active in social movements, ENFPs stand up for what they believe in without apology. Some people talk the compassion game but don’t follow through with meaningful action, but ENFPs believe it is vitally important to back up caring words with good deeds. Despite their friendly nature, an ENFP will go supernova with righteous anger when they are exposed to suffering and injustice. They can get quite loud and assertive, if that’s what it takes to get their opinions heard.

Weaknesses:

Hypersensitivity: ENFPs sometimes let their imaginations run wild and often perceive bad intentions that don’t really exist. Being hyper-alert and aware helps ENFPs improve their social comprehension, but reading between the lines only works when something is actually hidden there. If it isn’t, misunderstandings can occur and hurt feelings can damage good relationships.

Lack of focus and follow through: ENFPs are endlessly creative, capable of filling a thousand days with a thousand bold ideas. But they don’t always follow through on their inspirations, and if others are not brought on board to handle the details, their best ideas may never be put into practice. ENFPs rely on their initial excitement and passion too much and don’t always show the discipline necessary to translate their ideas into real-world production. They have a tendency to start new projects before the last ones are finished, and failing to see things through is where ENFPs sometimes come up short.

Overthink things: ENFPs have a tendency to perceive slights, resentments or hostility where none actually exist, and their habit of overanalyzing other people’s behavior can lead to unnecessary anger and conflict. If ENFPs aren’t receiving as many compliments as they expect from their significant others, their insecurities can be activated and they may start to feel unappreciated and unloved.

Overemotional and approval-seeking: While emotional expression is a core part of the ENFP's identity, they can come on too strong. The bubbly, energetic style of ENFPs doesn’t mesh well with every partner and introverts, in particular, can sometimes feel steamrolled in their presence. ENFPs are also approval-seekers, and in their desire to receive praise and acknowledgment they may try a little too hard to make a good impression, talking too much and listening too little in the process.
