You’re the peacemaker. You want nothing more than for everyone to just get along. You’re easygoing, accepting, and open-minded. When conflict arises, you look for the nearest exit. Tension stresses you out, and you’d much rather just agree and adopt someone else’s point of view than fight over it. This could be seen as a lack of conviction.

Type 9s don’t ever need a chill pill, they are the chill pill. They’re laid back, and super easy to be around because they just want life to be simple and for the world to go on as it is. They want a life of comfort that doesn’t involve difficult choices.

There are lots of upsides to this attitude: when conflict arises within a group, they’re great at trying to find a consensus. They’re able to let go of their own perspective to take on many new perspectives, allowing them to provide an unbiased position on the matter. But when asked for their own opinions, 9s are often stumped. They simply don’t think about themselves very much.

Being too ambivalent isn’t a good thing. Their purpose and meaning in life may be substituted with other sources of satisfaction. Most commonly, 9s will participate in social activities that allow them to be included in a wider group and removes the burden of choice from their shoulders.

But their lack of personal conviction can eventually frustrate not only themselves but those close to them. Paradoxically, once they have decided on something, they can be extremely obstinate and refuse to change their ways or listen to a different point of view.
