As promised last week, I am sending each of the 16 cars for the next 16 weeks (we are on 2 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!!

Driver: Your best self

INTROVERTED SENSING IN THE INTERNAL WORLD/IN YOUR HEAD: 

  • You have an internal library of detailed personal knowledge, facts, feelings, sensations and information gleaned from experiences
  • Your mind is like a vast internal storehouse of data, details and impressions (internal file cabinet)
  • You enjoy rituals and traditions like holidays and birthdays
  • You feel comfortable and happy with a day-to-day routine
  • You’re big on details and data

Copilot: What the world sees of you, your second-best self

EXTROVERTED FEELING IN THE EXTERNAL WORLD:

Drunk Uncle in the Back Seat: Things you suck at and should NOT be doing

INTROVERTED THINKING IN THE INTERNAL WORLD/IN YOUR HEAD OR HEART: 

  • Work that requires you to use strict logic and order
  • Anything that doesn’t recognize your intuitive wisdom
  • Activities which require you to internally process and discriminate logic from illogic
  • Work that requires you to seek clues and root causes, like a detective
  • Having to solve other people’s problems (often or repeatedly)
  • You need to have people in your life to help you see the logic in situations since this is an area you are going to struggle with

Baby in the Back Seat: Where you go under deep stress or when someone has hurt you

  • You express your worries out loud
  • Every little thing becomes a huge deal
  • If you have a fight with your spouse, you think you are getting a divorce
  • You tell everyone what you imagine is going to happen next; the worse your expectation, the more you talk and the louder you get
