INTJs, as introverts, are quiet, reserved, and comfortable being alone. They are usually self-sufficient and would rather work alone than in a group. Socializing drains an introvert’s energy, causing them to need to recharge.

INTJs are interested in ideas and theories. When observing the world they are always questioning why things happen the way they do. They excel at developing plans and strategies, and don’t like uncertainty. They are insightful and quick to understand new ideas. They value intelligence, knowledge, and competence.

Common traits:

• Able to absorb extremely complex theoretical material
• Supreme strategists who are logical, rational and future-oriented
• Strong insights and intuitions can easily see the big picture
• Extremely logical and values knowledge and efficiency
• Very high standards for performance, which they apply to themselves most strongly
• Reserved and detached from others, but values close relationships
• Bored with mundane routine tasks, small talk, and surface-level thinking
