13 SPOT-On Traits of an INTJ Personality Type
Most people usually skeptic when it comes to zodiac signs, personality quizzes, or any
sort of metric that attempts to define who they are.
But surprisingly, when they learn about Myers Briggs personality test and see the result,
you will see they are nodding their head instead of rolling their eyes.
Personally, I'm an INTJ, which is in short characterized as a planner and a strategic
thinker.
In fact, this personality type is said to be one of the rarest and the most strategic
of them all.
We make up two percent of the population, and female INTJs are even more difficult to
find as they only form 0.8 percent of people.
INTJ (nicknamed "the architect", or the "mastermind") stands for (I) Introverted, (N) Intuition,
(T) Thinking, and (J) Judging.
We're cynical yet idealistic, logical but imaginative, hardworking, and confident.
We can basically do anything we put our minds to.
We do have our share of weaknesses, but we'll get into that later.
If you're an INTJ like me, these 13 traits ahead will seem spot-on.
1.
You were a bookworm as a kid.
Many INTJs show a thirst for knowledge beginning at a young age.
You took pride in being the bookworm and weren't afraid to answer questions in class.
2.
You're a cynic.
You're a living contradiction because you're one of the most cynical people as well as
one of the biggest dreamers.
You know that with effort, intelligence, and will, you can achieve what you want to, which
is why you also view those unable as lazy.
You pretty much doubt everyone else but yourself.
3.
You don't like rules or tradition.
INTJs are filled with original ideas and observations that often make them want to rework current
systems and ideas.
If they think something can be improved, they'll think of a way to make it better if they haven't
already.
16 Personalities calls it the, "Is this going to work" filter: "this mechanism is applied
at all times, to all things and all people, and this is often where INTJ personality types
run into trouble."
You also hate blind obedience because you require a logical reason behind everything.
4.
You're always a step ahead.
Your mind works like a chess game; each move is heavily weighed and analyzed before proceeding.
You don't like curve balls, so you make sure you're ahead of the game to be able to always
maintain control.
You're constantly comparing strategies and thinking situations out in your head.
5.
You think with your head, not with your heart.
If you are an INTJ, this would ring most true to you (Thinking vs. Feeling).
You don't allow your emotions to decide for you.
Instead, you assess whether or not the situation makes the most sense rationally.
INTJs have a conscience but may appear as cold to other people.
6.
You keep it real.
Lies and small talk are not your thing because you appreciate truth and authenticity.
You're deep, reflective, and highly intelligent, and you only ask for others to reciprocate
the honesty you give them.
You put much thought behind everything, including who you choose to surround yourself with,
and don't like feeling betrayed after letting someone in.
7.
You know what you want.
Some may perceive your decisiveness as being insensitive or blunt, but it's just because
INTJs have "set opinions about what works, what doesn't, what they're looking for, and
what they're not," says 16 Personalities.
They don't like to waste their time on things or people they find unworthy and will cut
right to the chase so that they can invest their attention on something that matters.
8.
You're self-confident.
You know that when you're right, you're really right, and that's that.
You're confident in your capabilities and intelligence to come up with the best strategy
and results and therefore have no reason to doubt yourself.
Arrogance also happens to be one of INTJs' main weaknesses.
9.
You're open-minded.
Despite your high self-confidence, you're receptive to ideas and opinions outside your
own.
Because you're so rational, you consider all possibilities with an open mind.
10.
You have difficulty expressing your emotions.
INTJs often feel emotions more deeply than other personality types because they're not
good at controlling them.
They equate feelings with vulnerability and constantly keep their guard up to allow a
clear head for decision-making.
They even use their logic to address certain emotions.
Rather than allowing it to control them, they identify the emotion and figure out why they're
feeling this way and what they can do to fix it.
11.
You're a hard worker.
If you want something, you don't allow anything to get in your way.
You'll dedicate all your time and effort toward achieving your goal and find the most efficient
way to get there.
12.
You're independent.
You are highly self-sufficient and don't rely on anyone else but yourself to get sh*t done.
As a result, you don't require a lot of attention, making you both a good partner and somebody
who is difficult to read.
INTJs maintain a very small circle of friends of those who they believe to be on their level.
They rely on themselves and only keep around friends who also want an honest and intellectually
stimulating relationship.
13.
You have a dark sense of humor.
As the bitterest of cynics, you have a very sarcastic and dark sense of humor that not
everybody can handle.
It can be difficult to become good friends with you, but you definitely know how to have
fun with those you know well and respect.
All in all, that's the 13 SPOT-On Traits of an INTJ Personality Type.
