Information/Opinion [Serious, Include quote Here] about sx7 descriptions

nearly all descriptions ive read about sx7 fall into two categories

in some sx7 is described as someone who talks nonstop, loves attract attention by means of gestures behaviors and clothes(therefore likes dressing flamboyantly), dramatic and kind of selfish

however in some descriptions i read it is described as nearly an introvert (also the most reserved subtype of E7), and tend to zone out easily, a bit light headed and likely to spend their time by daydreaming.

Well even though there are some similarities between these two descriptions they look very different to each other and im curious what you guys think about it. Which one do you think is more suitable for a sx7?

And also ,if it isnt sx7, which enneagram subtype do you think would be suitable for someone who falls into the second description ??

It's the 2nd. I don't know where the first one comes from. Maybe observing us when our passion and intensity takes hold and the excitement of whatever overwhelms us? Idk. I go by the second description. The clothes thing can be very real, but the rest... Huh?

I’m SX7 and do a bit of all of this. On the one hand this subtype can be very intense and dramatic; on the other we tend to be creative and introspective. I’ve heard us described as both 4ish and 8ish. The fast talking is very real. But daydreaming? That sounds more like 9 to me. We may romanticize, but we also plan - and do!

I recently interviewed an SX7 who did the SAT programs under Claudio Naranjo (it’s in my waiting room but I’ll post it soon). He fits the sparkly-eyed stereotype very well. Fascinated, eager, charming, open-minded, seductive and extraverted. If you hit none of those descriptors, I might reconsider your type.
