I saw that others have taken this test and I thought "why not?" the results of this test are as accurate as they had claimed to be.



Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.



How to Get Along with Me

• If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure. (Couldn't somebody have told this one to that Damned manager back at my old job? jeez...)

• I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.

• Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.

• Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally.

• Ask me questions to help me get clear.

• Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery. (true, but, dude, I don't care if you call me ugly, handsome, or don't even say anything. I'm not a materialist, nor an egotist. I'm just indifferent)

• Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.

• I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.

• Let me know you like what I've done or said.

• Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

(the above section is accurate, except for the mentioned one, to a point that astonishes me)

What I Like About Being a NINE

• being nonjudgmental and accepting

• caring for and being concerned about others

• being able to relax and have a good time

• knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around

• my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator

• my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now (not so much the "here and now..." not so great there.)

• being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe



What's Hard About Being a NINE

• being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive

• being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline

• being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally

• being confused about what I really want

• caring too much about what others will think of me (ahem, the only people who's opinion I ever cared about was that of my friends, and my mate. what do I care if someone I don't like says something?)

• not being listened to or taken seriously



NINEs as Children Often

• feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant

• tune out a lot, especially when others argue (I still do. it's how I got past all the name-calling and other horrible events in my life.)

• are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves (I was an angry kid, yes, but I've since learned to be better.)



NINEs as Parents

• are supportive, kind, and warm

• are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective (problem is... I can see that happening.)
