The INTJ is a highly theoretical personality with keen intuition. They produce the most
intelligent theorists of all kinds, with a high proportion of top-tier scientists, intellectuals,
and college professors. They, like INTPs, live in their heads, gnawing on whatever theoretical
problems or concerns occupy their mind-space. Despite the fact that INTJs are thought to
be extremely intellectual, their major function is intuition, or more precisely, Introverted
Intuition. This shows that INTJs are significantly more receptive than is commonly assumed. Their
first purpose is not to define or impose order on things, but to tune in to their intuition's
insights. Intuition provides INTJs with knowledge of the big picture as well as how that huge
picture applies to a specific problem or scenario. So what is the difference between INTJ-a and
the INTJ-t? Let’s get into it. Welcome to success for breakfast where I’m

The term “INTJ” is not a new concept, having been introduced by Myers and Briggs
in the mid-twentieth century. More recently psychologists began attaching the letters
T and A to each of the 16 categories. T stands for "turbulent," while A stands for "assertive,".
Individuals that are assertive are self-assured, even-tempered, and resistant to stress. They
are not overly concerned, but this is not the same as apathy. They set objectives and
desire to achieve achievement, but they don't let nervousness get in the way of their success.
They are unlikely to spend a lot of time reflecting on their previous acts or decisions.
Turbulent people are driven by success, are perfectionists, and are always looking for
ways to better themselves. They are constantly striving to do more in order to counterbalance
their self-doubts. They are equally inclined to push their initiatives or efforts in the
same direction as they push themselves to get better. Turbulent personality types are
more likely to detect little issues and act on them before they become major ones.
Intjs who are assertive are not frightened in high-stress situations.
However, they are not as tough as turbulent intjs.
When it comes to completing goals, assertive intjs may appear more confident and calm.
They don't value other people's perspectives on them.
This indicates that the turbulent intj is resistant to change or improvement.
As with the turbulent int, the assertive int understands what he's good at and is content
to be good at it. Personal responsibility and the ability to
believe in oneself are critical values for the assertive intj.
Unsurprisingly, those who have this attribute are more satisfied with their life.
They also feel more confident in their capacity to deal with difficult and unexpected events.
Intjs who are turbulent are self-conscious and sensitive to stress.
They are emotional and experience a wide spectrum of emotions. They are success-driven, perfectionistic,
and eager to improve. because they are overly concerned with their
flaws Most of the time, this practice may cause stress.
However, this behavior might also lead to better results.
They are also more inclined to switch occupations if they feel stuck in their current one and
to spend time contemplating the course of their lives.
Intuitive people are continuously looking for methods to better their effectiveness
at work and in their relationships. Even if no one observes their minor errors, they will
take note of them and work to eliminate them. This desire to improve propels the turbulent
intj to greater heights than his forceful counterpart and may serve him well in the
workplace. Turbulent intjs are also more concerned with
what others think of them.

While the aggressive variety may appear to be more positive on the surface, this is not
necessarily the case. For example, turbulent people do better in some roles because they
push themselves to obtain greater achievements, whereas assertive people do not care as much
about the outcome of a project - just their life, overall.
The drive to do more, have more, and be more for turbulent types can frequently drain both
themselves and those around them.
However, it is certainly likely that this urge to continuously push themselves just
a little further aids many turbulent types in achieving their goals.
Attempting to further separate the intj personality type may not be helpful, and this type will
always be a mixture of both being turbulent or assertive and is much more dependent on
a person's psychological state or self-development stage.
Intjs are born perfectionists who like self-improvement, but this does not imply that they do so solely
to impress others. They should learn to control their perfectionism
by knowing when to turn it on and off.
Simply put, the goal is to establish the proper balance of aggressiveness and turbulence.
Some people believe that the intj personality type is tumultuous. Turbulence can be lessened
by altering your perceptions and ideas. Slowing down allows you to see the big picture and
decide whether a particular circumstance is worth fretting about.
Usually, it isn't. Putting yourself in really stressful situations on purpose can also make
you more resistant to stress.
Given the facts, it's easy to see why INTJs might be classified as either INTJ-T or INTJ-A.
We can also see why adding the T or A variable may not add much to our knowledge of INTJs.
There is a lot of overlap between the 2, and sometimes it may be hard to tell the difference.
Regardless if you are an assertive type or a turbulent type, the INTJ personality is
one of the rarest in the world and should be embraced. The more you learn about yourself,
your personality, and how and why you make certain decisions is certainly a recipe for
success.
