Carol, my knowledge of the enneagram test is limited to what's on the introductory site I linked to in my first post, but I think it means that while you are mostly a type 9 (the Peacemaker), you also show characteristics of type 1 (the Reformer). To quote from the website;
Usually one has characteristics of one of the types that lie adjacent to one's own that are more prominent. This is called the wing. So someone who is a type 5, might have a 4 wing or a 6 wing. This may be abbreviated to "5w4" and "5w6". If one doesn't have a dominant wing, it is said that the wings are balanced.
I did the test again this morning, and came up with a totally different type than I did in July. So either I've changed quite dramatically in the last couple months, or the test itself is a better measure of passing moods than of (supposedly) stable personality traits.
