"I am at peace"

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

What I Like About Being a Nine

• being nonjudgmental and accepting
  
• caring for and being concerned about others

• 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

What's Hard About Being a Nine

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

• not being listened to or taken seriously

Nines as Children Often

• are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

Nines as Parents

• are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

Well, I guess I was repsonsible and dependable as a kid. I wonder what happened :-D

I do like the "intellect and wit" part and the "nonconformist" part - that certainly fits.

exhausting myself by worrying and scanning for danger

That's not meritahut - that's Jack Moffitt!
