Wings are the Enneagram styles on each side of your core type. They can be viewed as flavours of your core personality or a secondary style which means that you may display some characteristics of those Enneagram types. For e.g., if your core is Three, then your wings are Two or Four

When combined, your core type and wings can manifest themselves quite distinctly. A core with a strong wing can be quite different from a core without a strong wing. They add additional qualities to your core personality. Likewise, you could be high on other core types which are not next to your type though these are not called wings. A good starting point is to observe which personality types you function most from. This can come from your own observation and certainly other peoples’ feedback too. Your own awareness of self at this stage and doing Enneagram profiles will give you strong clues as to your type and wing.
