The Peaceful Accommodator, The Peacemaker, The Indolent Person

Nines are easy going, pleasant, conflict-avoidant, agreeable and passive aggressive. Nines are motivated to maintain their own inner peace and want peace in the world around them. Nines want to feel even keeled and seek moderation and evenness internally and externally. As gut types they tend to experience the world instinctively and are responding to an internal, visceral impulse to either act or remain still. Because Nines fear conflict so much they often remain in a state of stasis so as to not avoid upsetting the proverbial apple cart. Nines do not like to feel anything too strongly, so they tend to keep their passions, opinions and even identities blunted or hidden from themselves. Nines engage in self-denial and self-neglect, not because they don't care for themselves, but because the fear of disharmony, disconnection and complication causes them to anesthetize anything that threatens their inner calm. In order to avoid conflict and complications Nines adapt interpersonal strategies that create an open, gentle, relaxed and apparently non-judgmental demeanor.

Nines see themselves as pleasant and nice and believe that this is the most effective way of preventing conflict or complication in their relationships. Nines are afraid of being without love and believe that conflict or differentiating too strongly from others will create disconnection and they will be shut out and thus without the love and comfort they crave. Their search for comfort and connection however is compulsive, and they will often amass a sophisticated array of buffering strategies to avoid complication or disruption of their comfortable routines or from experiencing strong emotions.

Nines often struggle finding their Enneagram type because they can identify easily with all states of being and tend to see parts of themselves reflected in all the descriptions. This is in part from the defense strategy that must merge with others in order to feel safe. In fact, finding their Enneagram type can cause annoyance or anger and mistyping as other types is often part of a defense strategy of obfuscation which allows them to unconsciously avoid self-development. Nines are masters of keeping secrets from themselves in order to avoid action. Nines, like all gut types, know that once something comes into their awareness they'll have to act. So in order to prevent from upsetting the proverbial apple cart, they prefer to keep uncomfortable truths out of their awareness.

Having a definitive identity or strong feelings and emotions feels dangerous and threatening because it could mean that others may not like or approve of their authentic emotions, thoughts, feelings, desires or interests, or worse yet, for the Nine, might cause others to challenge them. And if others challenge them the Nine may become angry, which could create conflict and thus disconnect them from others. Nines will use a variety of distractions to keep others from arousing strong responses or emotions including; obfuscating, appearing clueless, not paying attention, compulsive positivity or niceness, confusion, acquiescence or stubborn obstruction. However, the pleasant demeanor of the Nine often hides the incredible ability to endure, stoic patience and formidable stubbornness.

Nines may seem as though they're agreeable to everything but underneath little to nothing has changed about their true opinions or positions, they are "open to everything and convinced by nothing". However, they are aware that it's difficult to attack someone who seems benign and unassuming, thus being even-tempered, pleasant and moderate is a defense against potential conflict and a way to keep others from bothering them too much so as to not upset their equilibrium. Of course, Nines get angry just like everyone else, but their anger is often repressed and may be difficult for them to access directly. Some Nines claim to have never gotten angry or have rarely ever been angry, only to later become irate at a restaurant server getting their order wrong, or explosive if they can't watch their favorite movie during a holiday. This is because it's safer to become angry about relatively unimportant inconveniences rather than express or acknowledge real resentment or anger that may have at important others in their lives.

Nines employ passive aggression to help expel some of their rage toward others. Forgetfulness, neglect, callousness, dismissal or nonchalance are all passive aggressive methods used to punish those whom they believe don't respect them. Respect is just as important for Nines as it is for Eights and Ones, however, because Nines are withdrawn types, they feel guilty or shameful strongly proclaiming their space in the world. Nines however, do have a strong sense of self that they've learned must be kept hidden to avoid conflict.

Nines often tow the middle of the road because extremes feel existentially unsafe, their fear of being disconnected blunts strong exclamations, emotions, passions or desires. Nines often go through life in a conscious sleep state which helps them to stay comfortable and calm, however, this often occurs at the expense of self-development. When Nines wake up and begin to proclaim their space in the world, they are immensely powerful and self-possessed. They can become driven, effective and strong but maintain a gentle and calming influence to people in their lives. When stressed, Nines become calloused and have trouble feeling much of anything. They utilize substances, food, unessential busy work or other distractions to help them push out anything that could be disruptive or upsetting.

Unhealthy Nines become dismissive, obstructive, passive aggressive and ineffectual in their interpersonal relationships and begin neglecting others in the same ways they neglect themselves. The repression of their rage will begin to have outward effects and they may be prone to outbursts of anger or emotionality, only to later act as though nothing has happened out of the shame of their extreme reactions.

Healthy Nines are both gentle and strong and feel more comfortable expressing their needs or opinions knowing that true friendships or relationships will not disintegrate because of a disagreement. They have a discernible and strong sense of themselves and can be a powerfully calming and stabilizing presence to those around them. At their best, Nines are effective mediators because they're able to see all points of view and can acknowledge negative or difficult emotions or situations without going to sleep to avoid being overwhelmed.

Fives are remote, logical, sensitive and intelligent. Fives are motivated to seek knowledge, avoid being overwhelmed and depleted and to conserve their time and energy to pursue their intellectual interests. They are immensely sensitive and idiosyncratic and often incredibly perceptive and observant of the world around them. Fives feel as though they can combat their anxiety and fear through obsessively seeking and hoarding information as a defense against the unknown. Fives feel an inner scarcity but tend deal with their scarcity by filling it with data, information and a feeling of competency. Fives are seeking mental stimulation through depth and specialized pursuit of knowledge that aligns with their personal interest (astronomy, chemistry, epidemiology, psychology, 3D printing, etc.).
Fours are insightful, melancholy, creative and analytical. Fours are motivated to be seen as authentic, deep, intuitive and original. They are the Enneagram’s emotional barometers and have a deep need to express their emotional experiences and share their innermost feelings in order to have a sense of themselves. Fours are seeking emotional intensity in order to make up for a deep feeling of inadequacy. They learned early on that if they can maintain an intimate connection with their emotions, they can maintain a sense of self. Fours’ emotional intensity is helps them to be adept trackers of others’ emotional states and they often describe themselves as intuitive and empathetic. They want to bear witness to the pain and suffering of others because they are familiar with these states. Fours often have an extraordinary gift for identifying what is missing, and as reactive types, they are meant to call off what is emotionally absent or not being acknowledged in any given situation. For example, they may be able to identify emotional triggers or psychological patterns that others may not see. Their propensity for exploring their own psyche affords them the skill set of being able to understand others’ motivations and emotional structure quickly and offer insight and compassion to others. Fours are champions of emotional expression, authenticity and exploration of the painful and uncomfortable aspects of human life. Fours both idealize their flaws and feel shameful about their perceived lacks.

Instinctual Type
The instincts (or instinctual types) are the unconscious or subconscious drives through which we play out our Enneagram type. Everyone expresses all 3 to some extent, however one instinct is dominant. There are 3 main instinctual drives.
Social Instinct
The Social instinct is unconsciously and consciously tracking, in-tune with and monitoring the on group as whole. (Not to be confused with liking people or crowds). Social types track the social sphere to ensure their survival. Politics, rules, norms, hierarchy, factions, gossip are all examples of social subtype concerns. The anti-social social subtype may avoid group interaction, rules, trends or norms but still tracks the social world.
Self Preservation Instinct
The Self Preservation Instinct is unconsciously and consciously tracking, in-tune with and monitoring the fulfillment and maintenance of the individual and one’s internal and external resources. Self Pres types are focused specifically on food, health, money, the home/environment, mortality and monitoring of potential physical threats to ensure their own and their loved ones’ survival. Self Pres types are more insular and often seek comfort and routines to feel safe.
Sexual/Intimacy Instinct
The Sexual Instinct is unconsciously and consciously tracking, in-tune with and monitoring the degree to which they have deep one-to-one intimacy and bonding with special person(s). Not to be confused with the drive to have or enjoy sex (all subtypes can like sex) or being “sexy”. Sexual types are focused on deep intimate pair bonding as a way to feel safe in the world. Attraction/repulsion, submission/dominance, closeness, seduction, intrigue and depth are all sexual type concerns.

Tritype®
Research has shown that in addition to utilizing their primary Enneagram type, people utilizing two types to support their primary type’s defense strategies. This is called “Tritype®, a 27-point personality system coined and created by Katherine Chernick Fauvre, is based on the theory that an individual uses three Enneagram Types, not just one. These three types occur as one in each of the three centers of intelligence: head (5,6,7), heart (2,3,4), and gut (8,9,1) and are used in a preferred, continuously oscillating, descending stacking order, which create a “new” type unto itself with its own worldview, coping mechanisms, and defense strategies.

Extensive research with tens of thousands of international participants has confirmed that each Tritype® Archetype is made up of the character traits of the three types within the Tritype®. These traits, within the Tritype®, combine to create 27 unique Tritypes®, each with its own set of core values, needs, fears, and concerns that include: a specific focus of attention, idealized image, core triggers, core fears, desires, blindspots, sense of purpose, and growing edge, adding significant precision, accuracy, and scope to the Enneagram Typing process.” - Used with permission from Katherine Chernick Fauvre
Your Tritype® is: 459
The Contemplative
“If you are the 459, you are intuitive, knowledgeable and accepting. You want to be original, wise and peaceful. Highly self-aware and reflective, you are very shy, reserved and self-conscious. You need regular quiet time to reflect on your thoughts and emotions. Easily flooded with emotion, it is difficult for you to voice your ideal and feelings.” - Used with permission from Katherine Chernick Fauvre, www.katherinefauvre.com

[Mind Maverick]

Your responses and test results suggests your primary Enneagram type is: 2

Your top 3 selected types are: 2, 8, 6

Testing Alert: Your testing pattern indicates that you could potentially be a Type 6 or have 6 in your Tritype® (even if 6 is not indicated as your primary type above or in your Tritype® results below.) This is because 6s are the most emotionally complex type and recognize a variety of behaviors.

God, some of that was like..."which relates to me the least horribly out of everything?" Especially for the heart and head types.

 

[Mind Maverick]

One of the biggest problems I have in typing in the Enneagram is that I sincerely do not strive to have any kind of image, and doing so conflicts with my personal values. All I want is authenticity, and to be seen/heard exactly for who and how I am, for better or for worse. The idea of going through life with an image makes me feel angry, as it pretty much translates into allowing society to shove me into some sort of hidey-hole, and nobody has the right to tell me who or how to be, or to act as though I don't have the right to exist as I am, regardless of my imperfections. (Seriously, I'm just like, "Excuse me, who in the hell do you think you are?"

That is some entitled horse shit. I AM. Like it or don't. I'm not begging others to associate with me, there's the door. Decide for yourself whether to walk out of it—or in it, if it is mutual. I will not beg for acceptance via some image. I have no need for approval. I have positive qualities, the same as you. I have negative qualities, the same as you. I've never fathomed how or why people make such a huge ordeal out of that, as though being imperfect—AKA existing, as such imperfection is inevitable—is anything to be frightened by or ashamed of.) The only kind of acceptance I want, is authentic acceptance/love for being who and how I genuinely am. You can't love me if you don't genuinely know me, anyway. I want to be loved for who I am, not for who I'm not; and I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not, if those were ever my only options.

Another problem I have with typing in Enneagram is that it maintains this stance that no good deeds are pure; if you are helpful, giving, etc. then you automatically have ulterior motives that pertain to yourself, and that is not the case with me. It also automatically ascribes "manipulative" to people who are generous, etc. which is another thing that conflicts very strongly with my values. That is something I despise. I simply believe that the world is bigger than I am, and there is more value, meaning, and purpose in contributing to others than there is in always being out for myself. And by that, I don't mean, "I get self-gratification from being such a good person *pat on back*" I mean my life is temporal, I am here and gone; the human race and other lives on earth are the bigger picture, that matters more.

It's too linear in thought to automatically associate one possible negative as the flip side of the positive. Being considerate of others (in my case, those I'm closely connected to, as I tend to be colder toward those I'm not intimately connected with) does not automatically entail being manipulative; being bold, passionate, pioneering, independent, and rebellious, doesn't intrinsically entail overcompensating due to a fear of not being those things. These are major assumptions.

I don't like the way that hardcore typology enthusiasts assume certain actions are connected to ascribed intentions/motives just because the resources say so. I don't like the way the Enneagram gives no room for the consideration that alternate reasons than the options currently given are underlying your actions. Out of all the systems, Enneagram seems to be forcing people into boxes the most.

So...I don't think any Enneagram test will ever be able to work for me, as there is not really a type in the system that works well for me.

Sixes are loyal, relatable, skeptical, anxious and provocative. They are motivated by a need to avoid feeling fearful, anxious, uncertain or unsafe. Sixes are the alarm systems of the Enneagram and are frequently misunderstood by others because they are a mass of contradictory mental positions and emotions. By far Sixes find it most difficult to find their type on the Enneagram and will frequently mistype as almost every other type because Sixes evaluate their personalities situationally and frequently utilize the phrase “it depends” because they know that they are constantly changing. If Sixes are feeling angry they may feel more 8ish, and identify themselves as Eights, if they’re feeling sad they may feel 4ish, or if they’re feeling withdrawn and analytical they may feel more Fiveish. However, what they’re can have difficulty seeing is the role the avoidance of being afraid and anxiety play in their everyday lives. Six is the most complex and misunderstood types on the Enneagram because of their rapidly shifting emotional states, vacillating opinions, tendency to play devil’s advocate and simultaneous loyalty and skepticism.

“If you are 469, you are intuitive, inquisitive and accepting. You want to be original, certain and peaceful. You are very sensitive and can experience intense feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty. As a result you need multiple sources of confirmation. You want to be individualistic but can fear being separate from others so avoid confrontation.” - Used with permission from Katherine Chernick Fauvre, www.katherinefauvre.com

Ones are ethical, measured, rational, detailed and judgmental. Ones are motivated by their need to live in accordance of their sense of morality, ethics and what they believe is right. They are responsible and often felt it was up to them to maintain a sense of decorum and appropriateness. Ones have a strong ethical code and must adhere to what that they feel is viscerally correct.

Attraction/repulsion, submission/dominance, closeness, seduction, intrigue and depth are all sexual type concerns.
