ENTPs are the debaters of the MBTI world. When compared with the enneagram of personality, a small minority identify as an ENTP 9w1.

In this article, we’ll talk about who the ENTP 9w1 is and what you can expect of them.

Who is the ENTP 9w1?

ENTP 9w1s are calm and easy-going people with a touch of morality. This touch of morality gives the ENTP a different feel from other ENTPs.

This personality type is nicer and generally more diplomatic than other ENTP. Type 9 is not a common type for the ENTP. Type 1 is even less common. Thus, ENTP 9w1s are not that common.

Furthermore, the presence of type 9 and type 1 significantly changes the ENTP’s typical traits, as we shall soon see.

ENTP 9w1s are more likely to be turbulent. 

What is the Core Desire of the ENTP 9w1?

The core desire of the ENTP 9w1 is to be at peace with others. They will prioritize this over everything else, including their morals and preferences.

What is the Core Fear of the ENTP 9w1?

The core fear of the ENTP 9w1 is for their peace to be disrupted. To avoid this, they try to avoid conflicts or confrontations with others.

How the 9w1 Changes Some of the Natural Tendencies of the ENTP

1.   Less Disruptive

ENTPs can be disruptive. They have little or no respect for people’s emotions or what they hold sacred.

ENTP 9w1s are different. They are less disruptive and avoid these sorts of situations.

They don’t do this because they are more respectful of emotions. Instead, this personality type wants to avoid conflict. Not challenging people’s beliefs is an excellent way to maintain peace and harmony.

2.   Less Argumentative

ENTPs are excellent debaters. However, this ENTP does not follow this trend. ENTP 9w1s are more withdrawn and prefer to go with the flow.

However, make no mistake about them. This personality type has all the qualities to light up an argument. They just prefer peace and harmony.

3.   More Tactful

Diplomacy is not a strong suit of the ENTP. This is because they are blunt thinkers who are more interested in truth and possibilities.

However, the ENTP 9w1 is different. They are more interested in avoiding conflict. This means that while they are still blunt in their head, they are less likely to express their thoughts.

However, if their wing is strong, they might express their moral beliefs strongly.

4.   Ability to See All Perspectives

Type 9 has the superpower of seeing all perspectives. This allows them to understand people and their opinions.

ENTP 9w1s are similar. This is heightened by their extroverted feeling (Fe) function. Thus, ENTP 9w1s will see all angles of a situation. Their extroverted intuition (Ne) will allow them to express their thoughts clearly.

People will relate more to this personality type.

5.   A Bit More Traditional

It’s a crime to refer to an ENTP as traditional. Yet, this ENTP is a bit more traditional. This is all down to their wing.

Type 1 wants to do the right thing. Usually, what seems right to them is what they have always known. For example, their parent’s religion.

It’s natural for an ENTP 9w1 to stick to those beliefs and make concrete arguments in support of them. These sacred values give them a sensor feel.

However, ENTPs are still ENTPs. They will make changes if they find their beliefs to be ridiculous.

6.   The Love for Morals

This follows the last point. ENTP 9w1s are interested in morals and ethics. Unlike other ENTPs, they want to do the right thing.

While this is true, the extent to which it applies depends on the strength of their wing.

ENTP 9w1’s sense of morality is higher when compared with other ENTPs, but significantly lower when compared with other types such as ISFJ 9w1.

New Weaknesses of the ENTP 9w1

1.   Indecisive

Indecision is caused by a need to keep the peace. ENTP 9w1s will mull over decisions for long periods before making a choice.

There are usually three things at stake for them. First, they are considering how to keep the peace. They also want to make sure it’s something they don’t mind doing.

Finally, does the action match their morals, or is it acceptable? Getting all three things to align can be incredibly difficult.

This might make them seem unreliable.

2.   A Different Breed of Anger

Type 9 and type 1 are in the anger triad. However, how they approach anger differs. Type 9 represses their anger while type 1 internalizes it and has no problem expressing it.

So, you get a personality type that’s always angry but denies their anger until they are pushed to the wall.

Internalizing their anger also means they often blame themselves for bad situations. This is more pronounced if their wing is strong.

3.   Complacency vs. Perfectionism

ENTPs have a problem with procrastinating. This trait is evident in ENTP 9w1s with a twist.

Naturally, ENTPs are not perfectionists. So, they can live with this flaw. However, the presence of type 1 changes this fact.

Thus, ENTP 9w1s try to do things perfectly. This is inhibited by their complacency tendencies. This can make them sad or self-critical.

In worst-case scenarios, it can lead to a loss of self-confidence.

4.   Wary of Conflict

Finally, ENTP 9w1s do not like conflict. This can have several implications. First, it affects most of their decisions relating to career and romance.

It also has an impact on how they deal with others. This personality type is more likely to be a people-pleaser.

While they might pride themselves on being peaceful, it can come with painful sacrifices.

ENTP 9w1 in the Workplace

ENTPs value creativity and flexibility in the workplace. They want to express themselves and have some fun along the way.

ENTP 9w1 also values these things. In addition, they want a workplace that affords them peace and respects their values.

ENTP 9w1s can also work in typical ENTP careers. To get the best out of this type, make sure their role allows them to be creative.
