Weakness: They Struggle With Anger
If you’ve been reading any of my articles, you’d know that type 8 and 9 are part of the anger triad so this personality type would struggle externally and internally with their anger. The type 8 expresses it while the type 9 suppresses it so it can be a constant battle of what to do.

When a person is so disciplined, it shouldn’t be a suppress; they have a sprinkle of stubbornness in them. Their stubbornness can bring about both good and bad fortune. It entirely depends on what it’s channeled into.
Strength: They Have Impeccable Work Ethic
They have an impeccable work ethic due to their discipline . Not only setting goals but ensuring they work hard to meet them. This is also because of their enneagram 8 which makes them more focused and goal-oriented.
Weakness: They Can Be Indecisive
Because they are more adaptable and want to cater for so many people’s needs, it can make them incredibly slow in making decisions. No matter how important it is.
Strength: They Exude Confidence
This personality type is extremely confident in themselves and that’s why they do not push for anything. They know how to get it by being more calculating and gentle than assertive and aggressive. Why fix it if it isn’t broken.
Strength: They Are Incredibly Sensitive
It is safe to say they are one of the most sensitive personalities in the world. Sure they might not be the most but they rank pretty high. Especially when compared to the typical INTP and this is because of their wing 9. And this isn’t in a bad, uncomfortable way but a more caring and welcoming way.
Weakness: They Can Be Hardhearted
They might come off as sensitive but this doesn’t take away from how ruthless they can be. They would do whatever is necessary for them to make it and only little or nothing can stop them.
The INTP 8w9 in Love and Relationships

If you’re looking to start a family, then you hit a jackpot with this personality as they are also very loyal and family oriented. They do not play about those that they love.
However, they have problems expressing their emotions and words of affirmation wouldn’t be the first on their list so if this matters to you, there could be a problem. But with patience and learning, they would be willing to give that to you too.
No matter what enneagram, they are still INTPs and would struggle with being around people and needing their own alone time. Their most preferred love language is quality time and physical touch which might sound ironic but this is how you know they love you. Foregoing their alone time to be around you.
