When it comes to the 16 personalities and the level of knowledge one has when
it comes to a personality psychology I've always found the best place to look
is personal connections of course reading about types watching videos and
learning is really helpful but then if you can spend time with people who are
that type and learn about them that way it tends to be one of the best ways at
least for me as an ENFP to deepen that knowledge and one of those types I want
to talk about today is the INTJ not only because INTJs can be great partners for
ENFPs especially in the realm of business or building something but
because they are often misunderstood when someone's fairly new to the sixteen
personalities it's pretty common if someone is new to sixteen personalities
and myers-briggs we're just talking pretty loosely to mix up INTJs with
types like an ESTJ or ISTJ or people who are really really strict about the rules
and tend to be how do we stay a little bit boring and it's not because they're
confusing the letters but you see TJ and a type and one of the things that
happens again being very casually not scientific about it is people will be
like oh yeah someone kind of boring and stuck up like an INTJ or whatever the
truth is here's the big reveal now the truth is INTJs can be one of the most
dynamic and interesting personalities to people very close to me our INTJs and
they both live extremely alternative lifestyles and approach things in their
own way none of which fit into any kind of
typical boxes one such person is Rowan Rowan I met when he was 10 years old
back in Vancouver Canada where I'm from through a program called Big Brothers
Big Brother's is a charity that matches boys who usually don't have a great
father figure in their life with some kind of older male role model to pair
them up and basically once a week you get together and do something you know
you could go sailing or hiking or play tennis or just go to a pool or something
but it's you know you get the point of it right now we
were first matched up when Rowan was 10 but he is now 21 and for a lot of that
time we were officially matched in the program and then when I started to
travel the world we couldn't be part of the official program but we've stayed in
touch he stayed with me in Spain for a month we visited in Italy and we caught
up a lot when I was back in Vancouver and I'm very excited to tell you we had
a chance to sit down and do an extensive interview based on a few things first
turns out Rowan is an INTJ which might explain why we were one of Big Brother's
most successful matches they've had both in terms of longevity and a lack of
problems the ENFP and INTJ match up it also gives us a great window into
alternative ways of living and thinking outside the box because in one of the
most expensive unaffordable cities in the world Rowan is living in prime real
estate he's living rent-free in an area where
most other people are multi millionaires and he's doing this all while working a
full-time job and going to school and because of how he set himself up has an
amazingly affordable situation and even a bit of extra cash so the good news is
me and Rowan sat down when I was in Vancouver and we talked all about this
there's just one cash is that we only recorded the audio we were sitting up on
this beautiful Terrace I had with a great view but because we were in a rush
we did not set up the camera equipment so this interview is available on my
podcast why this is good news as well is because if you're not yet a listener of
the dreams round-the-world podcast so this is a great opportunity to start

to it in the description and I might even put a comment linking to it head
over to the podcast on whatever podcast player you use check out that interview
