    Type Nine: The Peacekeeper

    Enneagram Nines are often described as The Peacekeeper, The Peacemaker and The Mediator.

    Enneagram 9s are easy-going, laid-back people who go with the flow to avoid conflict. They are defined by an inherent urge to maintain a sense of peace and harmony in their world, sometime at their own cost.

    If you are a Peacemaker, nothing makes you cringe more than an argument.

    Enneagram 9 Personality Under Stress

    When Enneagram Nines are stressed, they begin to find themselves filled with self-doubt, reactive, and anxious. It becomes difficult to make decisions and say no, leading to overcommitment and struggle.

    In other words, when overwhelmed Enneagram Nines begin to shift toward the unhealthy side of Type Six, The Skeptic.

    A Healthy Enneagram 9

    Healthy Nines begin to feel safe and confident. They take command and become more decisive, commanding, and intentional about life.

    In summary, when Enneagram Nines feel secure they shift toward the positive side of Type Three, The Achiever.

    Type 9: The Instinctive Triad

    Enneagram Nines use their intuition as their primary guide when making decisions.

    This is because Type 9 is part of the Gut Triad. This Instinctive Triad is comprised of three types — Enneagram 8, Enneagram 9, and Enneagram 1.
