Personality Type: Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, Judgment (INTJ)
I – Introversion rather than Extraversion: INTJs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they expend energy in social situations (whereas extroverts gain energy).
N – Intuition rather than Sensing: INTJs tend to be more abstract than concrete. They focus their attention on the big picture rather than the details and on future possibilities rather than immediate realities.
T – Thinking rather than Feeling: INTJs tend to value objective criteria above personal preference or sentiment. When making decisions they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations.
J – Judgment rather than Perception: INTJs tend to approach life in a structured way, rather than keeping options open and flexibly changing without accommodating to their structured world with discretion.

INTJs are analytical, individualists who seek novel ways of looking at things. INTJs enjoy coming to new understandings and are prepared to lead if no one else seems up to the task, or if they see a major weakness in the current leadership. They are very determined people who trust their vision, regardless of what others think. They tend to be pragmatic, creative and logical, preferring to make a series of logical suggestions on how to resolve an issue. INTJs have a very tolerance for spin or drama, and don't beat around the bush, which is a perspective not always welcomed by more sensitive companions. INTJs are at their best in quietly and firmly developing their ideas, theories, and principles, they do not readily accept authority based on tradition, rank, or title.
