Portrait of an INTJ
I decided to take the official Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) report (https://explore.mbtionline.com). It is an assessment built on work initially by Carl Jung. I wouldn’t dare try explain it myself. I will recommend it for those interested in self-awareness and personal development.
INTJ Type Description
INTJs have original minds and great drive for implementing their ideas and achieving their goals. They have long-range vision and quickly find meaningful patterns in external events. They are independent, sceptical, and critical and have high standards of competence and performance for themselves and others. They value health, home, family, and achievement.
INTJs are introspective, analytical, determined persons with natural leadership ability. Being reserved, they prefer to stay in the background while leading. Strategic, knowledgeable and adaptable, INTJs are talented in bringing ideas from conception to reality. They expect perfection from themselves as well as others and are comfortable with the leadership of another so long as they are competent. INTJs can also be described as decisive, open-minded, self-confident, attentive, theoretical and pragmatic.
Of the 16 personality types, INTJs represent 1.5% of the population.
At Work
