INTJ
Independent, innovative, logical and driven by the inner world of ideas
and possibilities, the INTJ often appears to others as a quietly self-confident (and
sometimes stubborn) critic of the status quo, convinced that reality can be altered, the
future reshaped. Wherever there is a need for change in systems, programs, concepts or
theories, INTJs will be working behind the scenes to reorganize and revise. This type's
focused attention to the personal mission may be inspiring or frankly obsessive, depending
on the observer's viewpoint or the success of the enterprise. Introspective and somewhat
shy, INTJs place their trust in logical analysis and intuition to guide their thoughts and
decisions. More feeling types may find them chilly, and more practical types accuse them
of being unrealistic, but INTJs take their cues mostly from those they recognize as
intelligent. Often attracted to theoretical, analytical and methodological areas of
inquiry, INTJs succeed in a wide variety of fields, from ones heavily dependent on
mathematics and science to more philosophical, literary or applied disciplines.
