INTJ (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, of which the best-known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics. These personality types are determined for an individual by a a set of multiple choice questions. Once evaluated, the resulting score will show a series of letters with corresponding numbers, in this case INTJ. The higher the number, the higher the extent of the characteristic. For example, an I-42 would indicate a strong trait of introversion, while someone with a result of I-7 would be only slightly introverted, and possibly even slightly extroverted, depending on the accuracy of their responses on the test.

Referring to Keirsey, INTJs belong to the temperament of the rationals and are called Masterminds.

In Socionics INTj belong to the club of the researcher, the alpha Quadra and are named "Analyst", Descartes or Robespierre. Another notation for INTj is LII (which is an acronym for Logical-Intuitive Intratim, referring to the cognitive functions).

[edit] Myers-Briggs Type Characteristics

INTJs are very analytical individuals. Like INTPs, they are more comfortable working alone than with other people, and are not usually as sociable as others, although they are prepared to take the lead if nobody else is up to the task, or they see a large weakness in the current leadership. They tend to be very pragmatic and logical individuals, often with an individualistic bent and a low tolerance for political correctness, spin, or rampant emotionalism. They tend to be more conventional and conservative than INTPs.

INTJs are often found in more exacting careers such as science, engineering, accounting, law, or architecture.
