Classic Jung Personality Type INTJ (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging) Fictional INTJ characters: *Jean Luc Picard (StarTrek TNG) *Gandalf the Grey (J. R. R. Tolkein's Middle Earth books) To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive. It is in their abilities that INTJ differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the other rationals. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them. People of this type tend to be: autonomous, aloof, and intellectual; imaginative, innovative, and unique; critical, analytical, and logical; intellectually curious, driven to learn and increase their competence and knowledge; socially cautious and reserved; organized and definitive. How to Spot INTJs: * cool, formal and independent * intellectual, logical, and skeptical * complex, and challenging with a sometimes superior attitude * conservative dressers with an individual look Tips for Communicating with INTJs: * Appeal to their creativity and innovation * Base your arguments on logical reasoning * Be organized and avoid errors that undermine your competence
