Type Nine: The Peacemaker
Type 9s are easygoing, accepting, and focused on maintaining peace. They are typically conflict-averse and strive to create harmony in their environments, often merging with others' needs and desires to avoid tension.
They value inner and outer peace, and can be highly adaptable, though they may struggle with inertia and avoiding their own needs. They are often seen as calm, patient, and accommodating.
