People don’t fit in boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the major arguments against personality typing systems I have heard is that people are so multi-faceted; how can a personality type define all of the subtleties of an individual?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been amazed at how extensive the Enneagram is. While you can dabble and learn a great deal of helpful information, you can also deep dive and still not touch the bottom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would never want to put anyone in a box or say that we understand another human being because we will never experience how another brain works. However, we’ve found the Enneagram to be extremely helpful in articulating how we’re motivated in this world and learning how to relate to each other as we travel together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Enneagram type NINE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Peacemakers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enneagram Type NINES are arguably (although they wouldn’t) the easiest type on the Enneagram to get along with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re natural mediators, seek harmony with others, are quick to love, and slow to anger. With others, they strive to adapt, include everyone, and go with the flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NINES are experts at relaxing, having fun, and enjoying simple pleasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Their gift of accepting others without prejudice makes people feel understood and accepted. NINES can be unbiased arbitrators because they can see and appreciate the positive aspects of both sides. Their sense of fairness may make them committed fighters for peace and justice.<\/p>\nThe Enneagram: A Christian Perspective<\/strong>

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And like all the types, NINES have a shadow side. Yes, they will stand up for others but not for themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re out of touch with their anger and desires, resulting in trouble making decisions and becoming dependent on others taking the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When faced with too much – too much to do, too many decisions, or too much change – NINES will default to inertia or engage in behaviors to numb themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t be fooled by that easygoing, even-tempered facade. NINES have a limit, and being in the anger triad, an explosion is bubbling beneath the surface. Push them too far, and you will experience their wrath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type NINE strengths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NINES are at the top of the Enneagram circle. They can see the world through the lens of every type. This is why they have trouble taking up a position – they see everyone’s viewpoint but their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, it also means NINES can access the core strength of every type. This makes them excellent mediators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
