After completing an online Myers Briggs exam,
I discovered that I'm an INTJ, the rarest of the 16 personality types.
So what is an INTJ like?
Hallmark features of the INTJ personality type include independence of thought, strong individualism
and creativity. Persons with this personality type work best given large amounts of autonomy and
creative freedom. Analyzing and formulating complex theories are among
their greatest strengths.
INTJs tend to be acutely aware of their knowledge and abilities. Thus, they develop a
strong confidence in their ability and talents, making them natural leaders.
It is this confidence that makes this personality type extremely rare. According to
David Keirsey, it
is found in no more than 1% of the population.
Agreement on theoretical concept is an important aspect of a relationship. By nature
INTJs tend to be demanding in their expectations and approach relationships in a very rational
manner. Persons with this personality type are very stable, reliable and dedicated. Harmony in
relationships and home life tends to be extremely important to the INTJ.
INTJs, or "Mastermind Rationals", are natural strategists, better than any
other type at brainstorming approaches to situations. They are natural, but not eager, leaders,
only stepping forward when it becomes obvious to them that they are the best for the job.
Strong-willed and very self-assured, they may make this decision quickly...as they tend to make
all decisions. Though they are decisive, they are always open-minded to new evidence and new
ideas, flexible in their planning to accommodate changing situations. They are excellent at
judging the usefulness of ideas and will apply whatever seems most efficient to them in
accomplishing their clearly envisioned goals.
