Type Nine - The Peacemaker

The easy-going, self-effacing type. Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness. At their Best: indomitable and all-embracing, they are able to bring people together and heal conflicts.

Examples: Abraham Lincoln, Joseph Campbell, Ronald Reagan, Rose Kennedy, John Kennedy, Jr., Walt Disney, George Lucas, Kevin Costner, Keanu Reaves, Whoopi Goldberg, Matthew Broderick, Janet Jackson, Edith Bunker (All in the Family), and Marge Simpson (The Simpsons).
