10 Signs You’re an INTJ - Rare Personality Type One of the most misunderstood Myers-Briggs®
personality types is the INTJ stands for - introverted, intuition, thinking, and judgement.
If you're not sure if you're an INTJ, here are ten tell-tale indications.
1.
You Make Cold Decisions Extroverted thinking is an INTJ's favored style of decision-making.
This function focuses on objective criteria to make the most logical, efficient, and successful
judgments.
While INTJs are often moved by strong emotions, they do not consider sentiments or personal
concerns while deciding between two possibilities or how to best achieve a goal.
Others may perceive you as cold or heartless as a result of this trait, which is far from
the case.
INTJs have strong emotions and are profoundly concerned about the people in their lives.
Their minds, on the other hand, are not wired to prioritize those worries when making judgments.
As an INTJ, you believe that the best options are those that are practical and make logical
sense, even if they do not always suit everyone.
2.
You recognize patterns and points of view.
As an INTJ, you see patterns (especially big-picture patterns) that others don't.
The ability to see what's going on "beyond the curtain" is astounding for INTJs.
And, because this process occurs in the background of your mind, you frequently make intuitive
leaps that you can't explain but are based on patterns you identified without being aware
of them.
This allows INTJs to adopt a "meta-perspective" and observe things from multiple perspectives.
Because they grasp different points of view so well, an INTJ can easily play "devil's
advocate" in almost any dispute.
3.
You are trapped in a difficult inner world.
Introverts, like INTJs, prefer their inner lives to their outer lives.
Though many people connect INTJs with a tough demeanor, many of them have a vivid imagination
and a rich, nuanced inner world.
INTJs are much more than meets the eye.
Because Introverted Intuition is their primary mental approach, INTJs spend a lot of time
inside their minds.
You approach the world from within, processing all you learn in a subjective and individualized
way.
You're probably preoccupied with a funny internal monologue that, if shared with others, would
surprise and astonish them.
4.
You're looking for workable answers.
Because they use their Introverted Intuition to keep long-term goals in mind and project
into the future, INTJs are extremely adept at finding effective, long-term solutions.
Your responses are supported by thorough study and verifiable facts.
The INTJ is always seeking for the best option in any given situation.
5) 5.
Your Mind Functions Differently INTJs are a relatively uncommon personality type.
Intuitive people account for around 30% of the population, and your preference for Sensing/Intuition
influences how you process the world and learn new knowledge.
As a result, the minds of INTJs differ from the bulk of people they meet and engage with.
Many INTJs are well aware that their ideas work in a fundamentally different way than
those of many others.
This difference is related to the way the INTJ uses their preferred mental functions.
6.
You're hard to persuade to change your views.
INTJs are obstinate not because they refuse to examine other points of view, but because
they have given their opinions so much thought that they are convinced they are correct.
An INTJ will debate a topic with someone enthusiastically, but they rarely hope to persuade the INTJ
to change their mind.
7) 7.
You appear puzzling to others.
INTJs frequently believe that others are wrong about them.
Others' perceptions of you may not accurately reflect who you are or how you wish to be
perceived by those around you.
They may identify you as dominant when you are merely confident, or as friendly when
you believe you barely reach the threshold for being a decent human being.
This can be perplexing for you because, as an INTJ, you are usually very honest and may
be bewildered as to why people are perplexed by you.
8) 8.
On the inside, you are an emotional person.
INTJs work hard to avoid being viewed as emotional, but their rigid outer shell covers a delicate
inner core that feels everything deeply.
Other people are unlikely to notice these sentiments unless they are quite close to
you, yet they exist.
Others may describe you as lethargic or with a "resting bitch face" that solely indicates
dissatisfaction.
INTJs, contrary to popular assumption, exhibit powerful emotions.
9) 9.
The Effects of Stress What You Think About The Outside World Stressed INTJs may seek
refuge from the outside world by immersing themselves in books, TV shows, or video games.
They could withdraw and become depressed, or they could become indignant, suspicious,
and aggressive.
10) 10.
You're Perplexed As To Why There Are So Many Irrational People You might be perplexed as
to why non-INTJs appear illogical so regularly when drawing logical conclusions comes so
naturally to you.
Something obvious to you may be utterly unknown to others, and when you bring it up, people
may regard you as either a genius or a lunatic (depending on the nature of the idea/fact).
