The Nine Enneagram Types

9

BODY TYPE

The Peacemaker

Basic description

Type Nines are steady, accepting, and gifted at seeing every side of a situation. They bring calm and cohesion to the people around them, though the same instinct for harmony can lead them to merge with others' agendas and lose track of their own. Their growth comes as they show up for their own priorities and let themselves take up space.

Core Drivers

Belief

To keep connection and peace, I have to blend in, not make waves, and put off my own priorities.

Fear

Loss, separation, and conflict, and being overlooked.

Motivation

To maintain inner and outer peace, harmony, and comfort.

Focus of Attention

Others' agendas and points of view, and potential sources of conflict.

Typical External Behaviors

HEALTHY

UNHEALTHY

Accepting

Steady

Accommodating

Avoidant

Slothful

Under Stress

Nine moves toward Six, becoming anxious, doubting, and reactive under pressure. The easy calm gives way to worry and second-guessing as the mind fills with everything that might go wrong.
