These days, knowing our personality type can be very helpful in our lives. Being able to
connect with the right people for our personality type, or work in the right place makes life
more enjoyable for us. If you didn’t already know, INTJ stands
for introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging. They get energy from being alone
and are introverted. They don’t only focus on facts, however, they also focus on ideas.
INTJs make decisions based on their logic and attach great importance to planning.
They solve analytical problems and are always interested in improving systems with their
new ideas. They constantly see the potential for improvement
around them. INTJs are generally intelligent and enjoy analyzing issues. They are attracted
to logical systems and can feel less comfortable with emotional people. They are independent
in their relationships and they are always attracted to people who stimulate them intellectually.
Because of all of that, it can come across that INTJs try to manipulate people into doing
what they want. But is this actually what is going on? Today we’re going to take a
look into whether or not INTJs are masters at manipulation. Let's get into it.

INTJs assess thousands of probabilities before each decision. It can be said that an INTJ
knows, even before they know, why they know something.
INTJs do not like to hear lies and they do not like to be deceived or misled. However,
deception of an INTJ takes a lot of effort and a lot of time which is why it doesn't
happen very often. The thing about INTJs is that their emotions are introverted and inferior
and they are not used much. So, when someone wants to try to play with their emotions,
an INTJ will quickly notice. INTJs can easily respond to the wishes of other people according
to their own logic but the fear of upsetting others is not important to them.
INTJs have to go through a lot of hard work to be able to identify their feelings as well
as the connection between their feelings and their decisions.
People with this type of personality are called architects because they have the power of
analysis, as well as creativity and logic.
Because INTJs base their decisions on facts and systems, and don’t try to appease everyone
else, or go with the crowd, INTJs are often considered master manipulators. Although they
do not need to manipulate emotionally, they do often try to impress upon people to get
things done in a certain way.
INTJs always care about the reasons and facts that are known which is their most powerful
tool. When INTJ seeks to produce a particular result,
it may use specific manipulation tactics to achieve its goal. For INTJ, this is not a
manipulation, especially when the result is in everyone's best interest.
They make strategic plans for what is going to happen and do everything they can to make
sure it happens. INTJs are not inherently immoral, although there are unhealthy versions
always present in every personality type group. INTJs have strong morals and certain inner
beliefs. And therefore They are always trying to add a positive point to the world
If INTJs use certain tactics to get the best results, those tactics, whatever they may
be, are still not wrong or immoral or trying to be manipulative. If INTJ wants to manipulate
someone to do something, make no mistake - they can - but this isn't the goal for an INTJ.
The goal is for accomplishment in the most efficient and effective way possible.

INTJs like to plan and formulate a strategy and make sure they do their job the best.
They have a need to achieve their goals and help others achieve their goals.
When INTJ works with other people, they sometimes feel they have to manipulate them to get the
job done right, especially when it is in their best interest. This goes back to issues of
logic that they think should convince people to follow a certain path. Remember, an INTJ
has already gone over every aspect in their minds a thousand times and has already figured
out the best course of action.
INTJs can easily convince people that they are right about things. INTJs often have a
lot of information about most things and can memorize details. This ability helps them
to give many compelling reasons for their opinions. When they do this, it can come across
like they are trying to trick or confuse other people. However, INTJs use this as a useful
way to prove they are right. Having this information and their sense of
trust in knowing it can be a great feature for manipulating people and the environment
so that they can easily control the results. Although not all of this means that they are
trying to manipulate negatively, the unhealthy group of this personality type of people may
try to.
Keep in mind, there are unhealthy people in every group and they are generally poisonous
people who are hard to deal with. One of the reasons for recognizing personality types
based on their healthy versions is important to be able to recognize the unhealthy ones.
Insecure and unhealthy INTJs manipulate in the hopes that they can transmit feelings
of insecurity to others. In this way, they inflict emotional blows
on different people and cause those people to feel insecure.
Do not try to manipulate an INTJ, because you will most likely fail.
Being introverted, they protect themselves from the outside world and their priority
is always to achieve their goals. INTJs are always fully aware that you want to manipulate
them. They are constantly investigating your claim and trying to find holes in it, and
when they do, you will be one of many who have failed to manipulate an INTJ.
So, Do not even try to bother with an INTJ, you can be almost sure that no manipulation
will work on them. INTJs can identify who wants to manipulate them because they are
inherently focused on their own logic, facts, and intuition.
Anyone who tries to use emotion to manipulate an INTJ fails miserably. They do not use emotions
to make their choices, so when someone tries to seduce or manipulate them in this way,
they will quickly realize it, call them out, and stay away from that person.
If you are trying to manipulate an INTJ - you’re in for a treat. They always have several alternative
plans that they have ready to go. If Plan A does not work, they will use Plan B, and
if it does not work, they will go to Plan C.
If someone uses facts to get INTJs to do something, it still takes a lot of reason and logic to
convince them. In these cases, however, INTJs will notice people trying to manipulate the
situation, but they move in the direction of their own decisions because the plan seems
logical.
Some people are more prone to manipulation than others.
This trait is not so much related to the specific personality type of different people, but
it is the methods in which that person can try to manipulate others. Different personality
types have their own ways of positioning themselves to achieve their desired result.
However, INTJ manipulation methods may seem unnecessary, unless there is a compelling
reason and a specific and useful purpose that is convincing to do so.
So is it really manipulation if they are just trying to get the best result in the most
effective and efficient way to benefit everyone? Leave a comment and let me know.
You’ve got this. Now go get it done.
