Last week’s Type, INFJ, and this week’s type, INTJ, is a GREAT example of how much one letter can make a difference is someone type. INFJ’s and INTJ’s are only one letter different but it makes them quite different in this world. 🙂

As you know, I am sending each of the 16 cars for the next 16 weeks (we are on 4 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:

  • ISTJ
  • ISFJ
  • INFJ

You can go back and read the others if you missed them.
