An INTJ's mind is a fascinating place. These focused, visionary people can make lightning-fast
connections between what's going on right now and how things will play out in the future.
They have an eagle's eye for hidden patterns, meanings, and trends, and their foresight
makes them great strategists. INTJs are one of the most self-reliant personality types,
taking satisfaction in not relying on others' opinions or tried-and-true methods. They value
innovation and combine it with decisiveness and a high level of confidence in order to
attain their specific goals.
You'll most likely notice an INTJ's Extraverted Thinking (Te) function if you know one. Although
it informs every decision they make, their dominant intuition is internalized and rarely
apparent to the outside world. Others will perceive the INTJ as determined, quick-witted,
confident, competent, and smart. To the INTJ, the world is a big chessboard; each move has
a purpose and is connected with a long-term goal; every piece, every tactic serves the
ultimate mission.
An INTJs gut instinct is almost always correct. They may have no idea how they came to such
a bizarre conclusion, yet it always turns out to be dead on.
Their intuition is the result of Their subconscious mind working at a rate that their conscious
mind cannot comprehend. But how does it work, exactly?
Today I'm talking about the secret behind an INTJs exceptional intuition. Let's get
into it.

INTJs will notice a multitude of options. When they use their intuition broadly and
thoroughly, they can understand how a large number of different outcomes stack up against
each other. INTJs can understand the repercussions of
future scenarios and make correct, well-informed judgments, avoiding a lot of mistakes. It's
as though they're reading something from the future.
The INTJ and INFJ's dominant function is Introverted Intuition (Ni). INTJs are experts at strategizing
and comprehending future implications for systems and organizations, whereas INFJs utilize
their intuition to strategize and grasp future implications for people. Introverted intuition
seeks out the significance and connections that lie underneath the surface of things.
"Why is this here?" What does this say about the future? "How will this play out?"
Comparing Introverted Intuition to its polar opposite, Introverted Sensing, is one of the
greatest methods to understand it. While Introverted Sensing is primarily concerned with preserving
and learning from past events, Introverted Intuition is concerned with connecting impressions
or patterns from the present to form a picture or forecast of what is yet to come. This is
why INFJs, INTJs, ENFJs, and ENTJs will place a greater emphasis on future ideas and outcomes,
while ISTJs, ISFJs, ESFJs, and ESTJs would place a greater emphasis on the past and past
teachings. Users of introverted intuition will be more interested in theories and feelings,
whereas users of introverted sensing will be more interested in literal details and
facts.
Everywhere an INTJ looks, they seem to see extraordinarily subtle patterns and secret
meanings. It's as if there's a hidden motive or purpose in every nook and cranny they come
across. They'll find themselves deducing and drawing knowledge from there with ease. they're
always reading between the lines that no one else seems to notice, allowing them to make
additional connections and strengthen their conclusions. INTJs appear to be able to perceive
things from perspectives that others do not.
This is because when introverted intuitive-dominant types think, according to Dario Nardi, a UCLA
professor and expert in the field of neuroscience, they utilize a whole-brain pattern and system.
He claims that when introverted intuitive-types are faced with a problem, they try to use
all of their neocortex regions to "realize" a solution. Dr. Nardi says to Think about
a group of blind guys attempting to locate a hidden object through touch. One man feels
a trunk and says "tree," another feels 4 legs and says "table," and a third says "boar"
when he feels tusks. Each region, like the blind men, presents a unique perspective,
and a zen-like synchronized state allows an INTJ to reconcile several perspectives to
arrive at the best solution (an elephant).
INTJs prefer to concentrate on a single question or issue at a time. Introverted intuition-users,
unlike extroverted intuition-users, have a singular focus. Distractions and multitasking
irritate them (although they can multi-task if they have to). They prefer to focus on
one subject at a time, without interruptions, and without being exposed to additional stimuli.
They are most excited when they imagine the future and strive to figure out how to get
there. This is why they are such good organizers and planners; they combine their introverted
intuition with Extraverted Thinking (Te) to find logical, efficient paths to the desired
end.

On another note, INTJs are likely to be quite brilliant.
The intuitive personality types make up the upper half of the IQ giftedness table.
Intuitives make up 70 percent of all males and 76 percent of all females with a high
IQ over 130. Associated with people who have a high IQ,
INTJs communication is far superior to the ordinary, allowing them to comprehend very
abstract topics that others cannot, resulting in dramatically different intellectual wavelengths.
Because of the insights they catch up on that most people miss, introverted intuitive-dominant
types are believed to have a "mystical" quality about them. They may appear to be able to
see into the future, but there is actually a highly rational process at work to explain
it. The inferior Extraverted Sensing of INTJs is highly sensitive (Se). In the present moment,
extroverted sensing collects a large amount of data from the outside world, while introverted
intuition unconsciously analyzes this information, assembling it like a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle.
Introverted intuition users simply "assemble" this internal puzzle far more quickly than
other types. The INTJ will be able to grasp or reveal their insight or "completed puzzle"
once this procedure is accomplished. For introverted intuitive-dominant types, having a distraction-free
atmosphere is very necessary for this process to work properly. Loud noises, bright lights,
and a lot of activity can all detract from their natural state and induce stress. External
distractions make it harder for the INTJ to focus on their vision and develop a strategy.
An INTJs imagination can take them anywhere. Many people lose their imagination by late
puberty, while highly intuitive INTJs keep it because it is their major thinking power
and is quite beneficial.
INTJs have a strong visual imagination and are influenced heavily by symbols. They are
guided by "flashes" of inspiration in some of their most important activities. These
unexpected insights may arise out of nowhere. Symbolic images, visions, and stories are
common ways in which their intuitions and insights come to them. Many introverted intuition-users
have profoundly symbolic dreams or thoughts that seem to saturate their day-to-day lives
because Introverted Intuition frequently functions subconsciously. When attempting to express
their intuitive hunches, INTJs frequently use symbols or metaphors to do so.
The distinction between an ISTJ and an INTJ is immediately obvious since the ISTJ prefers
to communicate literally, whereas the INTJ prefers to communicate through metaphor and
comparisons. The ISTJ will learn from the past and rely on personal experience, whereas
the INTJ will look to the future and seek out new ways to accomplish goals.
Intuition frequently functions as a sixth sense.
It's like having a real-life cheat code implanted in their memory that continuously alerts them
to stuff they might otherwise overlook.
INTJs often find themselves questioning how they arrive at such conclusions, and their
logical sense is often at odds with it.
They may even begin to lose themselves in their own thoughts and their inner intuition
almost appears to be a separate creature from them entirely.
A powerful intuition may develop into an entity that appears to tell an INTJ what to do and
what will happen without explaining why.
INTJs are going to have to figure things out on their own because the people around them
typically won't be able to help them with difficulties that they themselves don't even
know about. It may feel like an INTJs mind has a background
processor operating all the time. Their mind is constantly at work in the background, either
subconsciously absorbing information or constructing a far broader mental superstructure.
