/// SELF-PRESERVATION (SP) 9 ///

[Sp 9 Wiki]: https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/self-preservation-9-in-detail

[Textbook examples]:

• Nino (9w1 IxTP|Arakawa Under the Bridge) {S}

• Suzume (9w1 INTP|Hirunaka no Ryuusei)

(Note 1: Suzume is an sp 9 protagonist that gets her motivations explored in-depth. I think she’s a good starting point for anyone struggling to understand this subtype.)

(Note 2: Three songs that feel very sp-9 coded to me are “River Flows in You” by Yiruma:

, “Inertia” by AJR:

, and “Maybe Man” by AJR:

[Note: cursing + this is one of the few videos of a song I’m sharing rather than just lyrics because I think it really shows how sp 9s look for and chase physical stimulation]. I high-key suspect AJR is an sp 9 band.)

[Other Characters]:

• Iketeru & Mitsuo (9w1 ENFP & 9w8 ISTP|Uramichi Oniisan)

• Fubuki (9wX INFJ|Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi) {S}

• Langa (9w1 ISTJ|SK∞) (+)

• Yamada (9w1 ISTP|Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru)

• Eliana (9w1 IxTP|Princess of the Bibliophile)

• Odokawa (9w1 IxTP|Odd Taxi)

• James (9w8 INFP|Pokemon)

• Akito (9w8 ISTP|Kodocha)

• Rouge (9w8 ISFP|Metallic Rouge)

• Maine (9w8 ENFP|Honzuki no Gekokujou)

• Denji (9w8 ESxP|CSM) [M]

• Bee (9w8 ESFP|Bee and PuppyCat)

• Hina (9w1 ISTP|Hinamatsuri) {S}

• Koguma (9w1 ISFJ|Super Cub)

• Ueki (9w8 ISFP|Ueki no Housoku)

• Asuka (9w8 ISFP|Juuoku no Are) [M] [Note: Trigger Warning]

[Hellowally SP9 Phrase(s)]:

• “I’d rather not think of these negative feelings right now. Is there something I could eat, read, or do instead?” [Note: not to be confused with an E7 subtype]

• “At the end of the day, it’s better not to overcomplicate things.” [Note: not to be confused with sp 5]

• “I think an ideal life would just be doing my favorite routine/activity or eating my favorite food everyday.”

• “If I have X, I can deal with almost anything.” [Note: X is a material item or routine/activity]

• “I kind of want some kind of stimulation, so I don’t have to think about anything bad right now.” [Note: not to be confused with sx 7]

• “I’m tired (or hungry). Let’s stop talking about this now.” [Note: not to be confused with sp 5]

• “I am inertia.”

[What to look for]: A character who narcotizes their anger by using something external, particularly a material item (e.g., food, books, a collectible item, etc) or a routine (e.g., sports, playing video games, sleeping, cleaning, etc.). A character who has a blunt affect, but something about them seems childlike and sweet. A character with a somewhat blunt affect who brings out the parental and/or protective instincts of almost everyone around them [Note: not to be confused with sp 2]. A character with a blunt affect who is somewhat stubborn and doesn’t necessarily listen to rules [Note: not to be confused with sp 5 or so 5].

[Anime Archetype/Catchphrase]:

• The character with a blunt affect and eats a lot is almost ALWAYS an sp 9. Often these characters will say something along the lines of: “Looks tasty”, “Can I eat it?”, “Where is my X?” (in which X is their favorite food) (e.g., Rouge, Langa, Fubuki, Hina, Nino, Suzume)

• Character with a blunt affect that’s physically competent is usually an sp 9 (e.g., Hayama, Denji, Fubuki, Ueki, Suzume)

[Common Mistypes]: Sp 9 characters are *commonly* mistyped as sp 4, so 4, sp 5 (H), sp 7, sx 7 (H), so 7, sp 8, sx 8, so 8 (H), and sx 9

__________

/// SEXUAL (SX) 9 ///

[Sx 9 Wiki]: https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/sexual-9-in-detail

[Textbook examples]:

• Anthy (9w1 INFJ|Shoujo Kakumei Utena) {S} (+)

• Reiji (9w1 INFP|Shounen no Abyss) [M] [Note: Trigger warning]

• Legoshi (9w1 ISFP|Beastars) {S}

• Kuroko (9w8 INFP|Kuroko no Basket)

(Note: Two songs that can kind of encapsulate two sides of the sx 9 is “I am Yours” by Andy Grammer:

and “Don’t Give Up On Me” by the same artist:

)

[Other Characters]:

• Nagi (9w1 ISTP|Shounen no Abyss) [M] [Note: Trigger warning]

• Mari (9w1 ISFJ|Girl Friends) (+)

• Bam (9wX xxxx|Kami no Tou)

• Nam (9w1 IxFJ|An Uncomfortable Truth) {S} [Note: Trigger warning]

• Soushi (9w1 ENFJ|Inu x Boku SS) {S}

• Johan (9w1 INFJ|Monster)

• Mitsuki (9w8 INFP|Full Moon wo Sagashite)

• Haru (9w8 ISFP|Fruits Basket)

• Allen (9w8 INFP|D.Gray-man)

• Shichika (9wX ISxP|Katanagatari) {S}

• Banri (9w8 INFP|Golden Time) {S}

• Iori (9w1 INTP|Radiation House) {S}

[Hellowally SX9 Phrase(s)]:

• “Wherever you are, I’ll be.”

• “I exist to support you.” [Note: not to be confused with so 6]

• “I will always return to you.”

• “My promise to you gives me the strength to live.” [Note: not to be confused with so 4]

• “Being with you completes me and gives me a sense of worth.” [Note: not to be confused with so 4]

• “I’m not afraid to die necessarily, but I’m so afraid to live. Living on my own is the worst thing that could happen to me. But being by your side and pursuing the traces of you gives me a sense of purpose.”

• “I am nothing by myself.” [Note: not to be confused with so 4]

• “I am yours.” [Note: not to be confused with sx 3]

[What to look for]: A seemingly chill character who is not chill at all when it comes to their “person” [Note: not to be confused with sx 5]. A gentle character who might not seem very assertive upon first glance [Note: not to be confused with so 4]. A character who might drastically change their entire life and/or goals in order to be with their person [Note: not to be confused with sx 2]. A character who might be able to enter and leave spaces unnoticed and then suddenly appear. A character who might only be able to enjoy food or the scenery around them if their person is by their side. A character who might feel as if they were nonexistent without their person by their side. A character who might pick up traits of their person and act as if those traits are their own.

(Note: To me, some sx 9 characters feel like a piece of paper that could be blown away by the wind. It’s very difficult for them to stand and exist on their own, so they’re looking for a sting to be attached to so that they don’t fly away.)

[Common mistypes]:

• Sx 9 characters are commonly mistyped as sx 2, so 2, sx 3 (H), sp 4 (H), so 4, sx 5 (H), sp 6 (H), so 6 (H), sp 9 (H), and so 9 (H)

__________

/// SOCIAL (SO) 9 ///

[So 9 Wiki]: https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/social-9-in-detail

[Textbook examples]:

• Tohru (9w1 xSFJ|Fruits Basket)

• Yatora (9w1 ESFJ|Blue Period) (+) [Note: I recommend the manga over the anime]

(Note: “Gunjou” by Yoasobi was used to promote the Blue Period series and I think it suits so 9s pretty well. You can see the song here:

| Other songs I think suit so 9 are: “We Sink” by Of Monsters and Men (OMAM):

, “I Of The Storm” by OMAM:

, “Black Water” by OMAM:

, and “Be good” by Gregory Porter:

)

[Other Characters]:

• Shima (9w1 INFJ|Skip & Loafer)

• Uramichi (9w1 INTP|Uramichi Oniisan)

• Akane (9w1 ESFJ|Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru)

• Sakura (9w1 INFP|CCS) (+)

• Yuusei (9w1 INFP|Atarashii Joushi wa Do Tennen)

• Asebi (9w1 ISFJ|Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai)

• Kumiko (9w1 INFJ|Hibike! Euphonium)

• Belldandy (9w1 ISFJ|Aa! Megami-sama)

• Akari (9w1 INFP|Aria)

• Menma (9w1 ENFP|Anohana) {S} (+)

• Leslie (9w8 ENFP|The Monster Duchess and Contract Princess)

• Yuji (9w8 ISFP|JJK)

• Joy (9w8 ENFP|A Joyful Life) (+)

• Vash (9w1 INFP|Trigun Stampede)

• Kazuki (9w1 ISTP|Romantic Killer)

• Tsukasa (9w1 INFP|Lucky Star) [Note: Miyuki from the same series is an ISFJ so 9, there just was not enough space to add her to the collection]

• Ippo (9w1 ISFJ|Hajime no Ippo)

[Hellowally SO9 Phrase(s)]:

• “I feel I don’t understand myself. Can I even trust myself?”

• “Please don’t forget me.” [Note: not to be confused with so 4 or sp 6]

• “Being with you guys gives me a sense of purpose and a source of strength.” [Note: not to be confused with sp 7, so 7, or so 8]

• “I can push down my needs if it means you will love and accept me.” [Note: not to be confused with sp 3, sp 4, so 4, or so 7]

• “I want to do my best so the people around me don’t have to worry about me anymore.” [Note: not to be confused with sp 3 or sp 6]

• “I should pretend to forget this hurtful situation before I dwell on it too much. Let’s move on. Everything will be ok.”

[What to look for]: A peaceful, accommodating character who tries to help everyone around them. A peaceful character who might not understand themselves well. A hardworking, accommodating character who might still feel “hollow.” A character who might spread themselves too thin trying to accommodate the needs of the group [Note: not to be confused with sp 3, so 2, so 7, or so 8]. A character who might have been isolated, but wants to find a place/group where they belong [Note: not to be confused with so 7 or so 8]. A peaceful, accommodating character that has trouble accessing their inner self.

[Anime Archetype/Catchphrase]:

• Peaceful character that always tries their best but doesn’t really understand themselves

• “I wish I could understand myself better” or (something along the lines of that) is usually the catchphrase of so 9 characters (e.g., Sakura, Uramichi)

• Peaceful, accommodating character that always does what the group wants and might have trouble sticking up for themselves (e.g. Kazuki, Shima, Leslie, Akari, Tsukasa) [Note: not to be confused with sp 6]

• Peaceful, accommodating character who might come off clueless and/or innocent to others around them (e.g., Asebi, Akari)

• For whatever reason, so/sp 9 characters are usually portrayed as depressed or “hollow” in some way (e.g., Joy, Uramichi, Shima, Kazuki)

[Common Mistypes]: So 9 characters are commonly mistyped as sp 2, so 2 (H), sp 3 (H), sx 3, so 4, sp 6 (H), so 7 (H), sp 9, and sx 9

*********//// FINAL THOUGHTS /////************

This project has become quite a journey. I really hope anyone who read this has found this guide even slightly helpful. I’m hoping to add more arguments to the “Enneagram Arguments” collection and update the MBTI types of certain characters over time. But I think I’m going to take a bit of a break from enneagram after this haha.

Again, if there is anything you disagree with, please read the “If You Disagree” section. Additionally, while I tried my best to accurately label each series as best as possible (e.g., {S}. [M], (+), etc), I realize it is possible I may have missed a tag or two. If you feel there is a series that needs an updated label, please let me know and why and I will try my best to accommodate.

Finally, I would love to hear your feedback. Though, again, I think I’ll be taking a break from writing any guides for quite some time after this and there are likely to be delays in my reply.

I’m also thinking of making a substack for shorter enneagram/MBTI/other personality system articles. When I finally get around to making it. I’ll share the link at the top of this guide.

Happy typing, and thanks for getting this far!
