MBTI+9 refers to expanding the current MBTI system to also include the three somatotypes, with the three representational systems (sight, hearing, tasting+touching+smelling).
This gives nine sub-types in personality (3x3), which ties with the nine Enneagram types, so there might be a certain connection.
Somatotypes:

Three somatotypes include (information partly taken from Wikipedia):
Ectomorphs tend to keep to oneself or family, quiet and shy.
Mesomorphs tend to be adventurous and energetic.
Endomorphs tend to appear jovial, who enjoy others' company.
Representational systems include:
With this information, we derive nine other sub-types in personality:
So, for example, we might have somone who is ENTP-mesomorphic-sight ("ENTPm-s"). Or, INTJ, ectomorphic, smell-taste-touch ("INTJec-t"). A third example is ISTP, endomorphic, auditory ("ISTPen-a").
What do you guys think? Thank you.

Three somatotypes include (information partly taken from Wikipedia):
- Ectomorphic: characterized by long and thin muscles/limbs and low fat storage; usually referred to as slim. Ectomorphs are not predisposed to store fat nor build muscle.
Ectomorphs tend to keep to oneself or family, quiet and shy.
- Mesomorphic: characterized by medium bones, solid torso, low fat levels, wide shoulders with a narrow waist; usually referred to as muscular. Mesomorphs are predisposed to build muscle but not store fat.
Mesomorphs tend to be adventurous and energetic.
- Endomorphic: characterized by increased fat storage, a wide waist and a large bone structure, usually referred to as fat, or chunky. Endomorphs are predisposed to storing fat.
Endomorphs tend to appear jovial, who enjoy others' company.
Representational systems include:
- Sight: Talks high and fast, breaths high, higher body RPM; tends to look up, or up-and-right when talking
- Auditory, reading, and words: breaths at a mid-body level, talks level and even, average body RPM; tends to look side-to-side, or down-and-left when having a conversation
- Smell, taste, touch: breaths at a lower-body level, talks low and slow, lower body RPM; tends to look down-and-right when talking
With this information, we derive nine other sub-types in personality:
- Ectomorphic, sight
- Ectomorphic, auditory
- Ectomorphic, smell-taste-touch
- Mesomorphic, sight
- Mesomorphic, auditory
- Mesomorphic, smell-taste-touch
- Endomorphic, sight
- Endomorphic, auditory
- Endomorphic, smell-taste-touch
So, for example, we might have somone who is ENTP-mesomorphic-sight ("ENTPm-s"). Or, INTJ, ectomorphic, smell-taste-touch ("INTJec-t"). A third example is ISTP, endomorphic, auditory ("ISTPen-a").
