INTJ 9w8- Here’s What To Expect

INTJ 9w8 is the combination of the INTJ and enneagram 9 wing 8. In this article, we’ll consider what makes them different from other INTJs, their strengths, weaknesses, and much more.

So, stick around.

How the INTJ 9w8 is Different from Typical INTJs

INTJs are known as the strategists of the MBTI world. They are independent, logical, and place a high emphasis on saying things bluntly. INTJs are typically type 5 in the enneagram of personality. This INTJ is type 9.

INTJ 9w8s are more easygoing than typical INTJs. They are also less independent in their interactions. This might be because of type 9. Thus, this personality type is more interested in maintaining harmony. INTJ 9w8s are largely more accomodating.

While normal INTJs are super introverts, INTJ 9w8s is a bit more extroverted. This might be because of type 9’s people-oriented nature. However, they will still be introverted, just not that much.

Here’s a table that outlines some of the main differences between the INTJ 9w8 and typical INTJs.

Strengths of the INTJ 9w8

1.   Diplomatic

Diplomacy comes easy to type 9. It doesn’t to INTJ. The combination of both types will make the INTJ a bit more diplomatic with their actions. Here’s why.

INTJ 9w8 will be able to see all sides of the story. Thus, they will understand and perhaps empathize with people’s actions. This will make them more accommodating and willing to make compromises.

While this is true, INTJ 9w8s will still not overdo this trait. They are still INTJs after all.

2.   Easy-Going

INTJs are usually assertive people. They have an opinion. They say it. Thus, you cannot readily categorize them as easygoing. With INTJ 9w8s, it’s different.

They are more interested in avoiding conflict. So, this personality type is more likely to go with the flow if it does not conflict with their needs.

This is one of the reasons why other types find it easier to get along with them.

3.   Higher Level of Ambition

The presence of type 8 as their wing makes them much more ambitious. Thus, expect this personality type to have grand dreams. Backed up by their INTJ’s mind, they’ll have the perfect plan and backup plan to get them there.

However, their ambition will be second to conflicts. Thus, INTJ 9w8s will not pursue their dreams if it causes too much conflict with their loved ones.

4.   Tactful

INTJs are blunt. They say things how they are without an ounce of regret. INTJ 9w8s are similar but with a slight twist. They know when to press their point and when to hold back.

While it is still a pain to sugarcoat things, they know how to hold their tongue and negotiate with people. This makes them more tactful. You might even mistype them as INFJ.

5.   Analytical

INTJ 9w8s maintain the analytical strength of the INTJ. However, they use it a bit differently. Most analyses they do are centered on situations they face.

They are usually trying to avoid conflicts. So, using their logic to keep the peace is usually the norm. Of course, their analytical minds are also an asset in the workplace.

Weaknesses of the INTJ 9w8

1.   Indecisive

Type 9 is known for their indecisiveness. This problem stems from their need to avoid conflict. So, they don’t want to make a decision that will breed conflict. INTJ 9w8s are similar.

They will develop endless strategies to keep themselves out of conflict. However, when the chips are down, INTJ 9w8s know exactly what they know.

2.   Complacency

Type 9 is notorious for slacking off. INTJ 9w8s will face this problem. However, because they are INTJs and have type 8 as their wing, they won’t be overly complacent.

Nevertheless, they won’t be able to put in the same shift that normal INTJs put in.

3.   Anger Issues

Type 9 and type 8 access their emotions through anger. Type 9 tries to repress this anger while type 8 goes to war when they’re angry.

Thus, with INTJ 9w8, you get a double dose of anger. While they will hold off on expressing their anger, it can be scary when they do express it.

INTJ 9w8s have other things such as the INTJ death stare in their arsenal. That makes them quite scary.

4.   People-Pleasers

INTJs are independent people. They know what they want and are often not willing to bend to others. INTJ 9w8s are similar. However, because they try to avoid conflict, they might be less rigid.

Thus, some of their actions might be intended to please others. This might make them mild people-pleasers. However, INTJ 9w8s are still INTJs. Thus, expect them to maintain most of their boundaries even under pressure.
