From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

INTJ (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, of which the best-known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics.

Referring to Keirsey, INTJs belong to the temperament of the rationals and are called Masterminds.

In Socionics INTj belong to the club of the researcher, the alpha Quadra and are named "Analyst", Descartes or Robespierre. Another notation for INTj is LII (which is an acronym for Logical-Intuitive Intratim, referring to the cognitive functions).

[edit] Characteristics

INTJs are very analytical individuals. Like INTPs, they are more comfortable working alone than with other people, and are not usually very sociable, although they are prepared to take the lead if nobody else is up to the task. They tend to be very practical and logical individuals with a strong individualistic streak and a low tolerance for political correctness, spin or emotionalism. The INTJ mindset in regards to other people could be summed up as: "If you don't want to be called an idiot, don't do stupid things."

INTJs are often found in more exacting careers such as science, engineering, law or architecture.
