INTJ

• definiteness and self-confidence.
• apparent arrogance
• specific rather than a general nature
• specialized knowledge systems
• areas of expertise - INTJs can have several
• know what they know, and know what they
  don't know.
• perfectionists, with a seemingly endless
  capacity for
• improving upon anything that takes their
  interest.
• pragmatism -application of the criterion
  "Does it work?"
• Gives unusual independence of mind, freeing
  the INTJ
• from the constraints of authority,
  convention, or
• sentiment for its own sake.

• They are predominantly Systems Builders
• They combine the unusual trait combination of
  imagination and reliability.
• They may implement critical decisions without
  consulting their supervisors or co-workers.
• Anyone considered to be "slacking," including
  superiors, will lose their respect
• scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the
  individual contributions
• Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences
  and engineering, but they can be found wherever a
  combination of intellect and incisiveness are
  required

INTJ and Relationships

• Personal relationships, particularly romantic
  ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel.
• While they are capable of caring deeply for
  others (usually a select few), and are willing to
  spend a great deal of time and effort on a
  relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence
  that make them so successful in other areas can
  suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal
  situations.
• do not readily grasp the social rituals for
  instance, they tend to have
• little patience and less understanding of such
  things as small talk and flirtation
• extremely private people, and can often be
  naturally impassive as well, which makes them
  easy to misread and misunderstand.
• INTJs really want people to make sense.
• Instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and
  empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ
  will expect inexhaustible reasonability and
  directness.
• intuitive abilities and their willingness to
  "work at" a relationship.
• do not always have the kind of natural empathy
