  INTJ Profile
INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability.
Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project.
INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.

 INTJ Rational-Mastermind « David W. Boles’ Urban Semiotic ™
My personality type is INTJ or “Rational-Mastermind” according to the Keirsey Temperament Sorter —; one of many tests and examinations I have taken over the years to determine my INTJ status.
One of the attributes of an INTJ that really hit home with me was my tremendous interest and capabilities in the planning/problem solving stage but realtive disinterest in the implementation stage(someone else can do that).
And seeing as how INTJ’s make up between 1-3% of the population (basically we are very rare), it is not surprising that we are often misunderstood, which makes it more of a pleasure to meet everyone here.

 Personality Types - INTJ
INTJs are not likely to be "touchy-feely" and overly affirming with their mates or children, and may at times be somewhat insensitive to their emotional needs.

Although, the INTJ who has learned the importance of these kinds of expressions to the health of their relationship is likely to be more verbally affectionate.

ENTJ's are similar to INTJ's except that the former places greater trust in empirical thought than in intuition; it is the ENTJ's own intuitive sense of coherence, however, that augments and supports their empirical thinking.

 Famous INTJ
INTJ's don't have to be introverts if connecting to other human beings fits their views -- I believe the development of human relations and comunications is the number one inhibitor to INTJ's'.
I'm an INTJ with an IQ of 143.
My advice to other INTJ's is to realize that most people need the andquot;nicetiesandquot; of small talk, and that the few minutes you spend engaging in them, although forced for you, will make the other person more comfortable and benefit you in the long run in a work or school setting.

The funny thing is, my father is also an INTJ (but he plays extroverted in public), and he took it first for work when I was in grade school.
Funny thing is that according to typelogic.com, an INTJ ally is the ENTJ, the extoverted version of INTJ; ENFPs are supposed to be the pedagogue, or lifelong teacher.
This happens in part because many INTJs 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 (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship).

I’m naturally a Perceiver, but I’ve forced myself to make lists and be on time and be organized, because it is expected of me, and because I’ve overcommitted my life and my hobbies and my chosen activities so much that I can’t function without imposing some organization on myself.
However, when I read the description of the INTJ as an “Independent Thinker,” that is me, and I’ve been that way for a long time.
I am also an INTJ, although last time I took the test I got an INXJ, which means that T and F were equally balanced.

 Dean's World: More INTJ Info
Sometimes, people who don't know better scoff at Myers-Briggs, but in my experience it's usually people who either hate the notion that their personality can be tested, or people who leap to hasty conclusions, of the "this is just another stupid internet test" variety.
INTJ here, and one of the things that's hardest for me to get my friends and family to understand is that being alone doesn't make me lonely.
I do find interaction with non INTJs to be a bit frustrating at times, but then I have yet to resign myself to the lot of them being small-brained knuckle-dragging throw-backs that over compensate for their intellectual shortcomings by "feeling" rather than "thinking".

 Re: 8w5 INTJ ?.....HERE....LEMME ASK YOU SOMETHING
Remember that INTJ decodes as dominant IN with auxiliary ET on "J" side.
INTJ actually means Dominant IN with auxiliary IT (same attitude as dominant)AND you better be darn sure to use ET (thinking with the opposite attitude to dominant).
I decode INTJ as IN-ET-(plus IT), and I map all three as 9w1 and 9a5.

 Careers for INTJ Personality Types
More so than any other personality type, INTJs are brilliant when it comes to grasping complex theories and applying them to problems to come up with long-term strategies.
Since this type of "strategizing" is the central focus and drive of the INTJ, there is a happy match between desire and ability in this type.
Accordingly, the INTJ is happiest and most effective in careers which allow this type of processing, and which promote an environment in which the INTJ is given a lot of autonomy over their daily lives.
