🕊️ Type 9: The Peacekeeper
Calm, accepting and good at bringing people together.
Peacekeepers create harmony. They're easygoing, patient and able to see every side of an argument, which makes them wonderful mediators and friends. People feel accepted and relaxed around them.
To keep the peace, Peacekeepers sometimes quiet their own wishes and opinions. They may go along with others, avoid conflict or put off important things by staying busy with small ones. Growth comes from realizing that their voice matters — and that healthy conflict can bring people closer.
