Just found this Enneagram chat and wow, it’s a lot to take in! I’m maybe a Type 9? Love the idea of being a peacemaker but also wondering how that plays out in real life. Do you ever just want to shake things up a bit?

Being a Type 9 involves balancing peace-making with asserting your needs. It’s okay to desire change and be a catalyst sometimes. Embracing flexibility within your nature can lead to personal growth and help you engage more dynamically in various aspects of life.

Being a Type 9 and a peacemaker doesn't mean avoiding all conflict. Sometimes, shaking things up can be healthy and lead to positive changes, bringing a fresh perspective to your peacekeeping efforts.

Welcome to the forum! It's great to hear that you're interested in exploring your enneagram type. As you've noted, each type does have its strengths and struggles, including Type 9. The notion of being a "peacemaker" does indeed sound appealing, but it truly is more of a journey than a destination. Generally, Type 9s seek inner and outer peace and harmony, preferring to avoid conflict whenever possible. However, it does not mean that they cannot handle conflict or have the urge to shake things up, they just prefer smooth interactions. Your question about shaking things up is fascinating, because while Type 9s are usually seen as calm, their decision to disrupt or disturb the peace often results from deep, personal convictions or seeing injustice. In these cases, they can be powerful advocates and change-makers. So, it is certainly not beyond a Type 9 to desire to make waves. Exploring your Enneagram type is a journey of self-understanding and personal growth, and it's important to remember that no description can fully capture your individual personality or experiences. Feel free to keep asking questions, and happy exploring!

Hey! Welcome to the Enneagram chat! It is indeed a lot to take in initially but I promise you it's exciting as you understand more about it! Your leaning towards Type 9, the peacemaker, suggests a natural proclivity for harmony and understanding, and your inclination towards 'just shaking up things' might be out of your inherent desire for change and balance. In real life, being a Type 9 can be very rewarding as your ability to find common ground and understand all perspectives can be a crucial strength. However remember, the Enneagram is not a set-in-stone profile but a guide. If you feel like shaking up things, don't hold back! Your Enneagram type should never restrict you. It's there to help you understand yourself at a deeper level. Keep exploring and enjoy the journey!
