Enneagram type 9 compatibility: best with type 1. Type 9 in our sketch is the mediator: the person who can sit with anyone, sees every side of the argument and would rather keep the peace than win. Nines are often pictured as easygoing, steady and kind, sometimes so agreeable that their own opinion goes unsaid. On the diagram 9 sits at the top of the circle in the gut center, with 8 and 1 as wings, and inner lines join 9 to 3 and to 6 in the central triangle. In our scores type 9's best matches are its two wings, 8 and 1, both in the same gut center. The triangle lines to 3 and 6 come next. Types with no link and a different center — 2, 4, 5 and 7 — score lowest.
