Hey, guys, it's Hillary.
Welcome back to my channel.
Today we are going to be talking about the wings of a type 9,
the peacemaker, Which I happen to be a peacemaker
So I'm starting with the type 9 in this new series
of going over the wings of each number, because I
am a certified enneagram coach, right?
And I have had the hardest time figuring out my own wing.
Super annoying.
I mean, almost to the point of embarrassment.
If you watch my other videos, you
will see some videos that say I'm a type 9 with an 1 wing.
And you will also see that I say I'm a type 9 with an 8 wing.
I think the 9s struggle with knowing their wing,
because we're at the top right, and you
got the enneagram circle, and the 9 is at the top.
And we can merge with all numbers,
so we can feel like the 1 and the 8 at times.
And I think that's where--
I know, myself, I got confused.
I'm like, wait, I totally could see the 1 in my life,
but I also could see the 8 in my life.
And the way Beth McCord, the Your Enneagram Coach,
describes this is the wings are only
supposed to be the salt and pepper of your type, which
makes perfect sense.
In my professional life, I actually
believe I have more 1 in there.
And in my personal, I feel like I use more of my 8 wing.
So that has been my journey so far.
And I just wanted to be honest with you.
I know I'm the enneagram coach, and I should know,
but I haven't.
And I have struggled with this, and I wanted to be real.
So let's go over the wings of the 9.
So you have the 8 wing and the 1 wing.
The reason why they are the 9's wings
is because every numbers wings are the two numbers that
are on each side of your type.
And so for me, I'm a type 9.
And what I'm teaching today is the type 9.
And so, your wings are the type 8 and the type 1.
You can't have any other wing.
I have heard people say, I'm a 7 with a 3 wing.
That actually can't happen.
It doesn't work.
There's other explanations for why you might feel that way.
Because it is legit that you would feel like you have some 3
in you as a 7.
But there's subtypes, which we're not
going to go over today.
But there are different reasons why
you might feel like you would have
a different number as a wing.
But it's not how it works in the enneagram.
All right, so let's start with the 9
with the 8 wing, which is what I really believe
I most resonate towards.
Because the 9 with the 8 wing are more sociable, encouraging.
They're more expressive, and I definitely can be that way.
Actually been called out on this, in the sense of,
I've had viewers say, oh, you look like a 7.
And it's like, no, I'm not a 7.
I do tend to have some 7 qualities.
It was in my top three.
But the reason why you're seeing this is because of this 8 wing.
The 8 wing of a 9, they're more independent,
they're more assertive, they actually enjoy comforts more
than the type 1 wing.
Which is interesting, because I am not a self-pres,
if you know what that is.
It's a subtype.
There's three subtypes.
We won't go in that today.
Moving on, my subtype is not a self-pres.
But I do like comfort, if that makes sense.
And I do believe it comes from this 8 wing.
And so, the other reason why I relate so much to this 9
with the 8 wing is, they are more prone to a temper.
And I can do that.
I could be-- my personality can be so easy-going, right?
The peacemaker, we're go with the flow, easy-going,
until we're not.
And I go, go, go with the flow until I explode.
And mine is a quick explode.
And then it's like, I'll let it all out,
and then I'm good again.
The 8 wing also brings the 9 that ability
to stick up for others.
They do not like to be pushed around.
It does bring the 9 some of that intensity and assertiveness.
OK, and then on the other side, we have the 1 wing.
And they are called the dreamer.
And they're more idealistic and principled.
And they really want to do what's right for everybody.
They care about justice, and fairness,
and people treating others with kindness and respect.
And the type-- the 9 with the 1 wing,
the 1 actually is more introverted,
the 9 with the 1 wing.
They are a little more introverted, versus
that 8 wing gives that extrovertedness.
So they can actually, when struggling,
could be more quiet.
They could be more judgmental, critical.
And so with that 8 wing, it was more of--
when struggling, it was more of, that powerful temper
can come out.
And with the 1, they get quiet, and they also withdraw.
OK, so anyways, those are the two wings of the 9.
Hopefully this helps you.
It definitely helped me as I was researching this
a while back, realize that I am a 9 with an 8 wing.
But I do go towards that 1 wing in different areas in my life.
And I think it's just that salt-and-pepper thing.
It's a flavor to your number.
It's not your number, but it's just an added flavor.
Do more research if you're, like, oh, I still don't know,
and you really want to have that wing.
But I will say, not everyone even has wings.
I've heard some people say, I don't use either.
That's totally normal, too.
But-- so whichever one you use the most is usually your wing.
All right, guys, that's all I have for today.
Hope it helped you.
I hoped it helped you figure out which wing you lean towards,
and which one mostly influences your type.
