T ® 9
Nines want is to have peace and harmony. Wanting to avoid conflict, discord and discomfort, they go out of their way to keep things around them calm, predictable and uncomplicated. Nines are easy going people who are happiest when life is settled and tranquil, both internally and externally. They like things comfortable and familiar. They are agreeable people who are excellent at seeing all sides of an argument and are good at keeping things on an even keel. But sometimes they can be too passive, avoid direct confrontation and not take action on things that need to be dealt with. They can also be very forgetful and slow moving and may get distracted from priorities.
