The Advantages and Disadvantages of INTJ Personality Type @ MBTI Personality Test
Personality can change. This is a frequently asked question on Zhihu. Many people find that their test results are different each time. On the contrary, my results are always the same. When I say 'each time', I don't mean doing it many times on the same day. For example, with an interval of several months and using different versions, the results are still the same. Why is this?
MBTI has four dimensions, eight types, and sixteen combinations. Everyone scores differently on different dimensions (taking the highest score), resulting in different combinations. However, there is a problem. For some people, the characteristics of a certain dimension are obvious, and the score differences between different dimensions are large. For others, it is not obvious, and the scores between various dimensions are relatively close. In the case of similar scores, different results may occur at different times and in different moods.
For people with close scores in the four-dimensional eight-group (i.e., those with unobvious personality characteristics), it seems that either answer is correct. For such students, the results are bound to be wavering and also related to personal cognitive understanding. For example, in the MBTI questions: Am I inclined to be 'rational' or 'emotional'? If a person doesn't understand what rationality and emotionality are, or if they don't know whether they are emotional or rational, then the resulting result naturally has no interpretive meaning.
Advantages of INTJ Personality Type
INTJ architects are extremely rational beings, which is also a point they are proud of. They are good at thinking. No matter how thorny a problem is, it is nothing more than an opportunity for exercise for them. Combining this rational thinking ability with their creativity, they can design countless solutions to problems.
Architects only do things they are most confident in. Their inferences must be based on evidence. Without evidence, they will not rashly apply their assumptions. Therefore, when they put forward a certain viewpoint, they will be very confident.
They are not willing to be mediocre and do not want to follow the crowd. They will think independently and carve out their own path. They are also recognized as 'ambitious people'. Once they set a certain goal for themselves, they will spare no effort to achieve it and will not stop until they reach their goal. Their thirst for success also makes them full of courage.
Disadvantages of INTJ Personality Type
The most unbearable thing about INTJ personality type is arrogance. If they really have ability and knowledge, they can be convincing. However, there are always some INTJs who don't have much knowledge but still... It seems that subconsciously they feel superior and their condescending attitude makes others uncomfortable. Sometimes, excessive confidence can turn into arrogance, so they always give people the impression of being too self-confident.
As can be seen, no matter what personality type, it is inseparable from internal cultivation. One must continuously absorb knowledge. Among INTJ types, narcissistic personality disorder is relatively common. No one can tolerate an empty narcissist... Only by continuously filling oneself with knowledge and improving one's quality can the value of INTJ personality type be realized.
INTJs are usually dismissive of emotions, but their rational thinking often poses an obstacle to emotional intelligence, often causing many troubles in interpersonal relationships (such as family, love, and friendship). After all, in a socialized group environment, rationality may not be recognized.
Summary
Although we cannot deny that INTJs indeed have the temperament of outstanding people, they should also moderately accept others. When they learn to cooperate with others and appreciate others, their value will be more fully manifested. If they can be less hostile to others, their social relationships will definitely improve. Therefore, by strengthening the strong points and compensating for the weaknesses, one can fully display one's talent!
