The Enneagram Types Of The INTJ.
INTJ Enneagram One. Top gift: fanciful.
First and foremost, the INTJ-1 is a visionary. However, this INTJ is almost perfectionistic
in carrying out this vision and is far too concerned with appearances. Because an INTJ
is frequently more concerned with how things work than with how they seem, they may have
received reprimands for not wrapping up their ideas in good lingo and fancy designs. As
a result, certain INTJ-1s, like as Steve Jobs, began to channel their vision in a way that
would make it more popular, promoting their innovation through fashion, marketing, and
secret procedures. Still, because an INTJ-1 seldom sees main value in items that simply
"look good," this propensity is unsatisfactory. INTJ-1s are never completely satisfied with
how things come out, and they may believe that no matter how much effort they put into
refining their presentation, things never turn out the way they had hoped.
INTJ Enneagram Two. Top gift: compassion.
You may not believe this type exists, but think again. An INTJ-2 uses his or her nurturing
and caring instincts to manage and oversee a system. INTJ-2s may be experts, better than
most, at parenting, systems management, or workplace management. When a project encounters
difficulties, the INTJ-2 is frequently consulted for advice and assistance. The INTJ-2 responds
by directly assisting to guarantee that things run well. Because they are the only ones who
can manage the system, an INTJ-2 may appear to be practically irreplaceable. However,
the INTJ-2 may have difficulty delegating responsibility to others, believing that they
must accomplish everything themselves.
INTJ Enneagram Three. Top gift: temperament.
The Enneagram 3 INTJs will be the most focused on their aims and goals. They could be an
aspiring architect, engineer, or programmer, or they could be someone who aspires to be
the best in their area. However, no matter how hard the INTJ works, they may believe
that others are not aware of their efforts. As a result, drawing on their Extraverted
Sensing, they may strive to be overly on, attentive, and present. They may speak more
loudly than they are comfortable with and put themselves in circumstances they loathe
if it allows them to further their goals. However, by pushing themselves in this way,
the threes may get frequently frustrated, as if no amount of appreciation they receive
is ever enough. There’s a tendency in this type to overwork and push themselves too hard,
and a need for the INTJ-3 to learn to gain recognition from their skills and their unique
perspectives. But this gift can also be channeled into comedy. The INTJ-3 excels at gaining
attention for their expertise through humor and their ability to get a crowd to pay attention
to them. George Carlin is an excellent example of an INTJ-3. Notice how unusually loud and
engaging he is for an INTJ.
INTJ Enneagram Four. Top gift: wisdom.
An INTJ-4 is frequently a misfit, a contrarian, and their dress taste is often rebellious.
They may be influenced by Extraverted Feeling, but they use it forcefully to make a message
to society."I'm going to be my own person, and I don't care what you think,". There is
a desire to avoid control in this situation, as well as a predisposition to distrust people.
They may be preoccupied with what other people think of them and may feel compelled to "prove
others wrong" for things that have no basis in actuality. Nonetheless, there is a high
level of creativity in this genre, as well as the capacity to present fresh thoughts
and viewpoints. At times, the INTJ-4 is the individual who listens to alternative music
and wears in all black. Consider the actress Rooney Mara.
INTJ Enneagram Five. Top gift: consciousness.
An INTJ-5 may be exceptionally focused on improving skills and abilities in order to
better fit in with society. INTJs may believe at times that they are not "good enough" to
operate in society as regular people, and that in order to achieve, they must study
harder than everyone else. This self-study frequently draws the INTJ away from other
people and proactive interests. If the INTJ can come out on top in this study, they will
be able to attain extraordinarily high levels of skill and ability. The INTJ-5 is also the
most attentive and perceptive of the INTJs. INTJ-5s make excellent researchers, yet they
are generally difficult to understand and often secluded.
Their language is ambiguous to most people, and their conclusions are often untested and
of a theoretical nature. I’ve worked together with many INTJ-5s, and their intelligence
and giftedness were often off the charts. At the same time, I think they sometimes hid
away from the world with their jargon and complex technical terms. I believe that, if
an INTJ-5 can turn their perception and awareness towards the real world, they can accomplish
amazing things.
INTJ Enneagram Six. Top gift: constancy.
An INTJ-6 will keep their Extraverted Thinking in check because they fear their passion and
drive will take them away from their friends and obligations. Fearful of disappointing
others, the INTJ-6 frequently inquires about the well-being of their friends, family, and
coworkers. The INTJ-6 is also prone to overworking for others and taking on too many obligations
in order to please their friends and family. Their family duties frequently prohibit them
from focusing on their professional or personal ambitions. I believe the INTJ-6 is the INTJ
with which I have had the most pleasant experiences.
INTJ Enneagram Seven. Top gift: views.
It's all about maintaining speed and swiftness as an INTJ-7, and you may term this type "too
effective" because their thinking is in overdrive. The INTJ-7 may be sloppy or overworked, hurrying
through or making a comedy out of blunders and flaws in their solutions. Because INTJs
are serious, thorough, rigorous, meticulous, and careful in their use of strategy, they
are sometimes chastised for never relaxing and enjoying themselves. INTJ-7s take use
of this by faking a carefree and silly character, often in order to relax others. However, their
humor and delivery are usually abrasive, and the INTJ-7 frequently steps on people's toes.
INTJ Enneagram Eight. Top gift: obligation.
The INTJ-8 personality type is the most authoritative and likely to be in a position of leadership.
The INTJ-8 is passionate, effective, and directed by perspective and a clear vision, driven
by a need to oversee and steer people toward positive action. At the same time, the INTJ-8
may be suffering with rage and irritation over past failures, as well as anxiety over
past mistakes. The INTJ-8 has a tendency to expend this energy on the surroundings, and
the INTJ-8 may project and force their insecurities onto others. Take a moment now and then to
ponder whether the things that irritate you in others are also reflections of things that
irritate you in yourself. Frank Underwood from House of Cards is a nice example of an
INTJ-8. Take note of how exceptionally extraverted an INTJ-8 can be.
INTJ Enneagram Nine. Top gift: sixth sense.
This is frequently the enneagram type of inventors and creative geniuses. These INTJs, on the
other hand, are all ideas and no action. The Exploration phase might sometimes stymie your
Perspectives process. The INTJ seeks to come up with an all-encompassing idea, perspective,
or plan that takes into account every possible angle. Alternatively, they endeavor to ensure
that all possibilities and points of view have been considered. However, they get paralyzed
by bewilderment as a result of this. To overcome this, the INTJ-9 may explore finding a way
to balance themselves, establish their foothold, and orient themselves in an intellectual world.
The most effective method to accomplish this would be to engage their Effectiveness process
and channel their innovative powers in a proactive quest.
