Nines are the symbiotic character. Basically, they have what fours long for--> the comfort, warmth, nurturance, and protection of the 'mother'. Developmentally a child is supposed to bond and then separate, forming a sense of self apart from the 'other'. Nines are very comfortable in their merged state. They do not fear abandonment; they fear differentiation.
