Sure, we can learn a lot about how to identify the different personality types and what their
strengths are, but what is it actually like inside their heads?
All introverted personality types see the world through a brain process known as Introverted
Intuition, or “Ni” for short. Introverted intuition searches for underlying meanings
or hidden connections in everything that occurs in life. Introverted intuition users are very
big-picture-oriented; they want to see how things will unfold in the future, and they
usually do so with surety and uncanny insight. Ni-users prefer the abstract, philosophical,
and symbolic versus the literal and physical. But how does that translate to what goes on
in their minds and use those functions?
Today I am talking about what it’s like inside the mind of an INTJ. Let’s get into
it. Welcome to success for breakfast where I’m

Personality types with introverted intuition as their primary function are forward-thinking.
They are system builders, whether in the intellectual or physical realm.
INTJs frequently have a rocky relationship with technological innovation. They see it
as unavoidable and want to be on the cutting edge of it, whether in terms of their understanding
or skill set, but their foresight allows them to see how all of these things could go wrong,
be mismanaged, or mistreated. There is a sense that they are optimistic about humanity's
future as long as they are in leadership.
Some personality types prefer to be thrust into the confusion of a situation or to be
in the mess itself. Their basic character is reactive and responsive.
This is not the case for the INTJ personality type.
INTJs are proactive at heart, which means they are motivated to work harder by the urge
to impose their introverted intuition’s vision and desires on the world.
As a result, the INTJ or the INFJ has a dread of having their energy depleted, especially
in extremely stimulating or sensory-intensive circumstances. When addressing an issue or
enhancing a system, this manifests itself interestingly in INTJ's ideal view of how
the world should work. They are continuously trying to figure out
what is the most efficient and least energy-draining approach to accomplish things.
INTJs avoid circumstances in which they must react as well as respond. They reject the
attempts of the external environment to force itself on them.
INTJs have a reputation for being cold and robotic, and although this is true at times,
the presence of introverted feelings in their third position makes them incredibly and uncompromisingly
unique. So you may have a situation where these introverted
intuition goals are fed by these introverted emotion values and motives, which is fascinating
because you can have an individual scheming and outmaneuvering people intellectually.
going in the direction of a goal that may be utterly unreasonable In general, INTJs
use their introverted intuition to make things operate better.
even if it requires fundamentally rethinking existing systems and challenging conventional
knowledge They are frequently quite rebellious individuals.
For INTJs, it is not about resolving a specific issue that is impeding themselves, necessarily.
But they do want to address the problem right now. Introverted intuition possesses a universal
quality where They want their contributions to benefit everyone,
not just select groups of individuals.

INTJs also have a tendency to think in broader, sometimes sweeping strokes. They may, for
example, develop an ideal standard for how someone should approach their life, as many
INTJ philosophers have done, and they may overlook the reality that superimposing universal
rules on things as complex as human beings can be difficult. Despite this, they will
continue to try.
Because INTJs have the j function, many consider it the function with which they struggle with
the most. That extroverted feeling is preoccupied with
altering perceptions and appearances, at least in part.
This way of life is almost viscerally repulsive to INTJs. An uncomfortable truth that INTJs
already know but will have to accept as they have a better understanding is that style
and quality are equally important and valuable, particularly in modern life. When it comes
to communicating your ideas or ambitions to individuals you will surely have to persuade,
style is the doorway to quality.
INTJs are abstract and future-oriented people who are always looking for significance. It
is critical for them to understand the cosmic importance and underlying pattern behind all
they observe. They try to understand how complicated systems and mechanisms work; they want to
dismantle established systems and beliefs and explore the unfamiliar theoretical ground.
Although they are not inherently sensitive to other people's feelings, they can usually
form an opinion on someone very fast. Their proclivity to search under the surface for
underlying meanings and reasons makes them uncannily adept at detecting inauthenticity
or manipulation. The INTJ's thoughts are infused with vivid symbolic images and visuals.
They have thoughts and images that seem to come to them "out of nowhere." These images
are the result of their brain synthesizing and mulling over thoughts, ideas, and sensory
input for minutes, hours, or even days. These insights direct them and provide them with
a strong feeling of purpose in everything they pursue. They may feel unmotivated if
they lack this insight or don’t have a grasp of the scope, complexities, and repercussions
of a project. They want to know that everything they do will have a long-term impact.
Do you recognize these traits in yourself? Let me know in the comments. If so, you might
be an INTJ.
You’ve got this. Now go get it done.
