Understanding the INTJ Personality Type
An in-depth look at the INTJ personality type, known for its rarity and unique characteristics.
Understanding the INTJ Personality Type
INTJ, a remarkable personality type, is possessed by only 1.5% of the population. In the group of people with an IQ higher than 130, the proportion of INTJ exceeds 40%. Online, someone has depicted the distribution of the 16 MBTI personalities using a pyramid, and INTJ individuals stand outside the pyramid, truly being far-sighted.
If God created the world, then INTJ people are designing the world. This is also true in real life. People of this type always play the role of creation and change. Figures like Newton, Sartre, Zuckerberg, and Marx fall into this category.
Characteristics of INTJ:
Ability and Independence: INTJ people have extremely strong independent learning abilities. In school, they may not be the top students, but their grades are usually not bad. They have a periodic learning pattern, being relaxed at times and then concentrating on review. After graduation, they continue to learn. For things they认同, their independent learning ability is very strong.
Unique Thinking Mode: Like other personality groups, INTJ people obtain external information through sensing. However, they have their own complete information processing mode. First, they observe and analyze simultaneously. Then, they absorb valuable information and collect it. After categorizing the absorbed information, they build their own model (database). Their model is dynamically iterative. They summarize experience based on this database and guide future actions. This is why INTJ groups are particularly capable of overall planning and have fast reaction speeds because they can quickly access experience and always have a large database.
Perfectionism: INTJ people strongly demand personal freedom and ability. In their original thoughts, unshakable beliefs drive them to achieve their goals. INTJ people are born to break order and establish new systems. Their perfectionism lies in the high standards and degree of perfection for things, which can be rather idealistic and sometimes not very realistic. They may even fail to find things or people that meet their standards due to their perfectionism.
Response to Challenges: The reaction when facing challenges is the ultimate manifestation of whether your will is firm. In fact, as the situation becomes increasingly difficult, you find yourself investing more enthusiasm and more of yourself. You find that the problems you face in competition are not threats but stimuli. Your interest is not just in winning. Obviously, you are born to love the fight. Given this emotional reaction, you have become an excellent problem solver. While others try to avoid problems as they start to emerge, you smile inwardly because you know you have gained a psychological advantage.
