Type Nines’ gifts and strengths also represent their “fatal flaw” or “Achilles heel,” as they can over-adjust to others and then have a hard time registering their own desires and asserting their own agendas. They get in their own way by focusing too much attention on what others want and deferring excessively to the people around them. By accommodating others and avoiding conflict in order to achieve comfort, they end up becoming deaf to their own inner voice.
