Make sure to watch each one of them and find out how many you have!
If the Myer-Briggs Personality Indicator (MBTI) assessed you as an INTJ personality type, then
you are among the most unique personality types in the world. INTJ which stands for introverted,
intuitive, thinking and judging is an individual who is a superior strategist that analyses
every matter profoundly and in detail. The INTJ can be thought of as "the mastermind," or as
"an architect". Nevertheless, no personality type is perfect and yes, INTJs have a lot of good
strengths, however people with this personality type have to be aware of their weaknesses as well.
Knowing those weaknesses will help you in your self-improvement journey and increase your social
skills by a significant amount. Find out what are your greatest weaknesses and learn how you can
counteract them and achieve personal growth. Here are 10 Weaknesses Of An INTJ Personality Type.
Number 1 – They have superiority complex The INTJ's proficiency in the areas of
intelligence, logic, and reason is undeniable, and it is unquestionably one of their greatest assets,
along with their belief in their own thoughts. These virtues, however, might become flaws
if they develop into a superiority mindset. Unfortunately, this is not unusual among INTJs.
They can be arrogant and condescending, as well as frustrated with those who don't get the concept
as soon as they would want. Those who lack the ability to think logically and reasonably are
more likely to be judged and not tolerated by INTJ personality type.
Number 2 – They try to be perfect all the time While the INTJ's meticulousness can be a strength,
like with anything, too much of a particular trait can quickly turn into a problem. For the INTJ,
this natural thoroughness rapidly turns into perfectionism, and they can be extremely severe
and rigorous in this aspect. Their standards are high in general, and this criticism can be aimed
not only at themselves, but also at others including family members and close friends.
Number 3 - They have problems with expressing emotions
INTJs are also considered to possess a low EQ and a reluctance to interact with emotions,
whether they be their own or others'. INTJs prefer to think about the world in logical, analytical
terms and have little sympathy for emotional issues. They have trouble detecting and responding
to others' emotional signs and needs. This can suffocate social relationships, as well as their
own growth and development, and this may lead to others keeping a safe distance from Architects.

Number 4 - They can be very critical Unfortunately, INTJs have a tendency to criticize
how others accomplish things. This is primarily because they believe their approach is the
best — and for the most part, they are correct, however they have no ability to communicate their
ideas to people in a proper and polite way. One of the things that INTJs struggle with, especially in
relationships, is being overly critical. They might be fussy about minor details and cause a
hole between themselves and their partners. Many INTJ relationship problems stem from their being
overly critical of their friend, family member, or partner even if they are not doing it on purpose.
Number 5 - They are not following rules It's not that all INTJs enjoy breaking the norms.
This is more about this personality type's refusal to simply follow rules that have no purpose or
meaning. Architects will not follow a rule if they disagree with it because they do not believe
it is valid. While this may appear to be OK, if a rule is in place for a purpose the INTJ doesn't
comprehend, it might cause problems. Architects despise following something mindlessly without
understanding why. This includes limits and the people who put them in place.
People with this personality type are prone to argue over insignificant laws and regulations,
yet these disputes can be a deflection from more pressing issues. Society, like the law, is
governed by rules. Rebellion against them can be beneficial at times, but for INTJs, those moments
are more frequent than necessary, which can get them into difficulty in different areas of life.
Number 6 – They overanalyze everything Analyzing every detail of life is unhealthy for
anyone, but especially for INTJs. It can be tough for this personality type to switch off their
analytical side and just let life happen because they have such an excellent analytical side.
They tend to overthink things to the point where they become stressed and anxious.
When it comes to stress and anxiety, INTJs can be their own worst enemy. Over-analyzing minor
details that don't significant in the great scheme of things is something INTJs have a tendency
of doing, even if it causes them distress. INTJs can become so involved in tiny details,
especially when stressed, that they may lose sight of the wider picture.
Furthermore, Architects can lose sleep over constant anxieties and re-examination of such
issues, particularly those involving money. INTJs can experience intense anger, and irritability
under such conditions and this can also cause a strain on their relationships with others.
Number 7 – They are Romantically Clueless
The uncompromising rationality of architects can cause them to feel dissatisfied by romance.
They may find it difficult to understand what's going on and how to act, especially in the early
phases of a relationship. If their relationships end for reasons they don't understand,
they may grow cynical about issues of the heart, even questioning the value of love and connection.
Number 8 – They are too forceful While INTJs enjoy dealing with problems and fixing
them, they can come out as "pushy" when sharing their views. They have no qualms about playing
"devil's advocate" and pointing out flaws in other people's arguments and beliefs. This is especially
difficult for "F" (Feeling) personality types, who are sensitive to criticism. Because INTJs despise
making mistakes in themselves or others, they may grow impatient with others who are less capable
than they are. They are more concerned with efficiency than with others' needs and feelings,
which can be troublesome. That is why w working as a team can be very difficult for INTJs at times.
Number 9 – They lack flexibility Because they dislike when things are
unexpected or up in the air, INTJs can be rigid at times. They desire to know what their next
move will be so that they can prepare for it. When people repeatedly force fresh choices on the INTJ,
they become extremely agitated. They aren't always enthusiastic about change,
especially if they haven't been given enough notice to prepare. The INTJ gets irritated when
things are continuously moving from one subject to the next with little sense of direction or logic.
This limits their flexibility when it comes to social occasions like being around people
who prefer spontaneity. Architects value efficiency and can become frustrated by those
who continuously change plans and do things at the last minute without informing them.
Number 10 – They have no spontaneity in themselves INTJs are known for their long-term outlook. INTJs
were found to project themselves further into the future than any other MBTI personality type.
This focus with the future is linked to the INTJ's primary function, introverted intuition,
which stands in opposition to extraverted sensing's spontaneous, and in-the-moment
lifestyle . Interestingly, research shows that INTJs are generally introverts who never leave
the house when absolutely necessary, yet they secretly yearn for thrilling experiences and
to feel alive. They tend to lose themselves in their job, with their primary concerns being
conceptualization and pattern recognition. Worries and fears are frequently present in their minds.
INTJs are prone to becoming so caught up in their thoughts that they fail to smell the flowers and
enjoy life's simple pleasures. This is one of the biggest Weaknesses Of An INTJ Personality Type.
