What a coincidence that today is my birthday as well as the day to share MY type with all of you.

Well, what can I say about my own type without sounding, well, you know…….as we are pretty awesome if I do say so myself 🙂 (as are all the types of course)

ENFJ’s are determined, giving, caring people. Almost a little too much at times as they are the Extroverted type that needs the MOST alone time because they have a tendency to give SO much to the people in their lives. ENFJ’s are able to accomplish truly magnificent things if they are living authentically and doing what they love.

As you know, I am sending each of the 16 cars for the next 16 weeks (we are on 12 of 16) to help you learn about each type and see if you can identify friends and family like this so you can better understand them. Type is ALL about better understanding ourselves and others so we can live our best lives and have amazing relationships!!

So far we have covered all of the Introverted Types:
