They are very demanding of themselves and others, and often force others and themselves almost as hard. They are not very disturbed by indifference and criticism.

Character characteristics
Intj (introversion / intuition / thinking / judgment) is one of the sixteen personality types in miles Briggs personality classification. It is called mastermind in colsey temperament type test and belongs to one of the four types of rational people. Intj is one of the rarest of the 16 types, accounting for only 1% of the population.
Intj people are perfectionists. They seem to have an endless ability to improve anything they are interested in. Different from idealists, intj pursue perfect results through pragmatic ideas and actions.
INTJs are known as system builders, perhaps in part because they possess an unusual combination of illusion and certainty. No matter what system they work in, it is the same in their minds for INTJ people, just because they are people with INTJ personality. Perfectionism and disdain for authority can manifest in real life, so it is common for INTJs to be ruthless with themselves and others on a project. Anyone who slacks off, including bosses, will lose the respect of the INTJ - and usually the INTJ will make them aware of this. Often show another side of yourself. Because INTJs don't like to express themselves directly, they are often misunderstood.
Intj people are also people who can make major decisions without asking their superiors or colleagues. On the other hand, they can distinguish individual contributions in a project carefully and fairly. They are born with the talent to seize opportunities, and some opportunities are not even noticed by others.
Typical intj people choose careers in science and engineering, but they may also work in fields that require both wisdom and sharp words (for example, lawyers and some fields of academia). If they are willing to take the time to expand their abilities, intj people can engage in management (whether out of personal ambition or desire). Many intj people feel it is very beneficial to learn how to pretend to be conservative, because it can hide their internal abnormal character to some extent.
Handling characteristics
With unique ideas, great vision and dreams. They are naturally good at theory and flexible in the operation of complex and comprehensive concepts. They are excellent strategic thinkers and can usually clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of any situation. They are good, visionary and insightful organizers of issues of interest. If they form their own views and plans, they will devote incredible concentration, attention, energy and enthusiasm. Relying on the determination and perseverance to reach or exceed their high standards, they have achieved many achievements.
Because they are good at strategic planning, rational leaders often have a predictive understanding, or foresight, of the overall appearance of the organization and its long-term development situation. They are often far sighted and thoughtful, and will never miss any important links or steps in the plan. Since they have been using coherent and understandable language for expression since very early, and have always adhered to this language expression habit, intj leaders are usually able to clearly express their foresight to their subordinates, infect them with this beautiful idea, and make them enthusiastically devote themselves to their expected career.

Authority itself cannot force them to abide by these rules only when they think they are useful for their more important goals. Have innovative ideas and extraordinary motivation in realizing your ideas and achieving your goals. It can quickly gain insight into the laws of external things and form a long-term vision. Once you decide to do something, you will start planning and finish it. Suspicious and independent, with high requirements for the ability and performance of themselves and others.

Conceptualist people are confident, intelligent and imaginative. Their principle is do the best in everything. Conceptualists are the most independent people. They have strong principles and high standards, and are very strict with themselves and others. They will not be disturbed by the cold reception and criticism of others, and like to do things in their own way. Conceptualist people are naturally curious. Whether due to the needs of the work itself or long-term considerations, they like to constantly absorb knowledge. Therefore, they often see many different aspects of the same problem, and are used to thinking about the problem comprehensively and generally, and looking at the problem in two. They are good at discovering the possibility of things, understanding the complexity of things, and like to conduct logical analysis, so as to conceive solutions to real or hypothetical problems. Conceptualists like work that can provide freedom, change and requires high intelligence, rather than simple and repetitive work. They like to see their ideas implemented. Conceptualists are impatient with those who they think are not competent enough and like to work with competent bosses, subordinates and colleagues. Many conceptualists advocate power and are easily attracted by people with power and power status.
They are good at analyzing, summarizing and judging, are good at grasping things as a whole, like to go to the bottom, try to grasp the essence of things, are sensitive to words and language, have strong ability of abstract thinking, can understand complex theoretical concepts, are good at conceptualizing things, are good at inferring principles or predicting trends, are good at strategic thinking, and will accept constructive criticism, Instead of treating it as a personal problem
Advantage
Consider problems rationally, clearly and concisely, not influenced by others, objectively criticize everything, use highly rational thinking to make judgments, and do not take emotion as the basis. Look at everything critically. If the situation requires, you will be very strong and decisive.
Intj type people are unyielding to authority, smart, judgmental, strict with themselves, almost perfect, and even demand others, especially those who are overwhelmed, confused and inefficient. They have strong self-control, do things in their own way, and will not be disturbed by the cold reception and criticism of others. They are the most independent of all personalities.
Excellent strategists and visionary planners attach great importance to knowledge, can quickly integrate the acquired information systematically, and see the advantages and disadvantages of the situation clearly. Have a unique and creative point of view and like challenges from many aspects. In the field of intj interest, they will invest incredible energy, concentration and motivation.
Inferiority
Intj often only focus on themselves, rarely understand others, self righteous, impatient with others, always take it for granted, impose their views on others, and set unrealistic high standards
If you pay too much attention to foresight, it is easy to ignore and miss the details and phenomena inconsistent with your own theoretical model; Love to play mental games and say specious words that have no meaning to others.
The excessively independent personality and work habits make intj always refuse the participation and help of others, and it is difficult to find the defects in their own plans.
Sometimes they are too stubborn and rigid, indulge in some excellent but unimportant ideas, and demand perfection in everything.
They lack romance in dealing with personal relationships, especially in love. For complex things, intj people are usually those who are very self-centered. They are used to showing indifference, which is easy to be misunderstood by others.
Life
Intj doesn't think it's worth communicating with laymen, as long as he keeps a plain and necessary relationship. They know very well that laymen will not like themselves. I like to analyze and judge others, but I prefer to analyze and criticize myself. Think others are vulgar, but they are also very picky about their own evaluation. Not narcissism, just perfectionism.
Intj is rational and inhumane. It is like being in outer space. There is no desire to communicate, pay no attention to or stay away from the information judged to be meaningless and worthless. Not disgust, but absolute negation. I don't like to talk nonsense. Generally speaking, I'm very good. I really don't like parties from the bottom of my heart. It's difficult for intj to get interested information at a party without purpose and plan, and then it will feel a waste of time. More concerned about the future possibilities and plans, intj will not care about the past things except those that can be refined into useful information. Think the safest way is to always focus on yourself. Because I'm the only one who won't let me down. Most of the time, he seems careless about things other than himself.
In fact, intj can know his own emotions or others' emotions, but he is not willing to manage his emotions, let alone please others. The affection for people who care is very high, not high because they don't care.
Always too serious, always make everyone happy conversation cold. Pay too much attention to themselves and always think about their own affairs. Like to laugh, often a cynical look. The eyes are high and the hands are low. If you haven't done a good job now, just think about the future. Without a sense of humor, you won't appreciate the fun of life. Sometimes cold and sometimes hot, don't care about others.
View
Intj is generally a person who likes to compete with himself. It seems to others that his life and work will be very tired. They may not feel immersed in their own world. It is difficult for people around to understand why a drawing made by staying up late for many days will bring any spiritual joy, especially when a group of people around are e.
Intj's I is usually obvious on occasions with many people, but in groups with few people, intj may take the initiative to speak boldly and be a leader. In fact, intj's desire for power is very strong. Perfectionism is actually the ultimate pursuit of power. This kind of power is not just the so-called official addiction, but the ultimate controller of things.
When intj is alone, he basically doesn't stop thinking. And often he thinks of big things with great logic and philosophy, such as which supermarket is half price, he will never waste brain cells. I found that intj often thinks of other things when doing an ordinary thing, and it is abstract, such as life and death, success or the mystery of the universe. So intj's T and thinking are impressive. Basically, people who know t can recognize it at a glance in the crowd. They like to analyze, speak in every detail, and have emotional restraint to suppress themselves. Because of reason, the mask is very thick. Basically, for people who can t, their evaluation of themselves is very different from that of others. The reason is that the thinking logic in t is different from that of the public. Intj's evaluation of himself is often high. He thinks he is talented and outstanding, or he thinks he is special and pretentious. I don't use the word pretentious to hit intj, but it's true. Because the world lacks an objective evaluation of talent, these are relative. I also think that people who can calm down and think and judge by intuition may be more full of poetry or speculation. However, intj's intelligence may not be recognized by the current mainstream society. Intj may often challenge his boss, and such a person can be superior with a sneer in his heart; However, this overall social structure is not set up for 1% intj. If intj understood this, things would be much easier.
Intj's N is a very valuable point. Few people can listen to their inner voice. Intj can give full play to this. N is one of the most important points of being a consultant. I used to think that being a consultant T is the most important. But later, when I came into contact with many outstanding consultants, I found that N is the essential difference. The same question is almost imminent. Excellent intj can directly throw out an answer, and then use t to circle it. This intuitive ability can not be cultivated, it can even be said to be a talent. Intj should make good use of N's talent, not simply entangle in t.
J is one of the reasons why intj makes people feel indifferent. They are ruthless and cold-blooded conclusions and ways of doing things because they have made judgments in their hearts. Jesus said that anyone who is innocent can judge others; But intj is making judgments all the time. For almost anything, over time, intj can change from ignorance to an expert, and it is also an expert with a personal point of view. Generally, it is difficult for them to change after making a judgment. Intj's J is very strong unless a lot of evidence is presented. I appreciate intj's N, T and J, but I may make NTJ play in the wrong direction.
The lack of communication often leads to the growing shortcomings of I. NTJ is the consequent thinking, intuition and misjudgment. E or I is the first side to contact everything. It is a problem to choose open e or funnel I.
Intj's career will be full of obvious technical tendency. No matter what industry, intj should be the technical core of that type of work. Even if there is no technology, he has a set of theories to build. This is intj's natural strategic thinking, so intj will be more successful as an industry researcher or consulting industry. In addition, it's good to be a doctor. Money is only one aspect of intj's work. If a job has no sense of achievement, he will be depressed. In addition, intj is really suitable for material work; If it is a human job, it is best to work in Xiaohuan for a certain period of time. Because intj seems to need to show itself through objective things to achieve job satisfaction, otherwise it will always feel that it has no talent.
The last point is that intj manages itself too tightly and demands too high. Once it can't reach it, it will be out of balance. I think this is bad and that is bad. In fact, it is my own problem in the end. In fact, intj is talented. As long as it is not so perfect, it can always get on the road slowly. Being too demanding and too anxious is not good for your career.
Leadership
There are few things that can hinder intj (note that this thing mainly refers to work. The ability to deal with emotional matters depends on the development of each intj's individual cognitive function. If the cognitive function is not perfect, it will be difficult to deal with emotional problems). Therefore, such people can usually be promoted quickly in the company. Their composure shows that they have excellent leadership skills. Different from other types of leaders, intj usually appear in the organization as a calm bystander, but if they find that the team lacks leaders or the current leaders are incompetent, they will not hesitate to become new leaders. We are convinced that this type of person is dominant in the leadership of Japanese enterprises. Composure enables them to improve their existing ideas in all aspects, from design, production to marketing. This ability has become a key factor in Japan's rising position in the international market at the end of the 20th century. An intj Japanese businessman even improved and improved MBTI. Japan is now the second largest country using type observation, after the United States.
Confident and pragmatic: These four tendencies are the personality traits that most people rely on to seek self-confidence and strength, especially the upper figures in the company ladder structure. Intj won't bother us like extroverts. They will convey his confidence by taking good control of everything in their hands. Compared with sensory (s) people who pay attention to details and specific things, they will turn the facts into a macro blueprint and give their development prospects. Sometimes subjectivity is more desirable, but in actual business activities, we pay more attention to objectivity, that is, more pragmatic. The operation of our society gives preference to J-type people, and the whole society is also a result oriented model. Intj type people not only look attractive after integrating the four characteristics, but also they are the objects that leaders and decision-makers can trust and rely on.
Stand on one's ownAlthough it is difficult to use a word to describe a certain type of people, independence can best summarize intj people. Independence is the driving force that inspires them to move forward. If possible, intj wants everyone to be independent. This sense of independence may conflict with their need to control their surroundings at the same time. Therefore, as colleagues or subordinates of intj, we must understand that independence is the ultimate goal, but the acquisition of this independence must be recognized by intj. This contradiction will complicate some information. On the surface, intj's oral instructions give flexibility and freedom, such as you can get enough time to finish the work in the best way you think, and another meaning of this sentence is finish it as soon as possible and do it well. This kind of information will make intj type I feel, but the latter often requires it
Take control: As a natural concept expert, intj is a perfect thinker and interested in the future. They are inspired by rich imagination and have a strong sense of responsibility at the same time. Usually, they take responsibility for solving complex problems. And display their creative talents to take on the work of leaders. Someone once said that successful people in society are usually those who are independent (I), predictable (n), realistic (T) and able to control the current situation (J). Such people can be entrusted with important tasks. They won't always bother you with their own needs. Intj managers are also students forever. Intj will constantly explore and investigate what might happen. Their intuition can well accommodate the new technologies, procedures, motives and methods in the system. They tend to make continuous improvements in things. Even if those things work well, they will reform it. This tendency means that everything in the work will be improved. For each project, intj will continuously evaluate, review and even revise. Even if there is an order to maintain the status quo, intj will not stop making minor improvements on the basis of maintaining the status quo.
Facing challenges: Intj women face special challenges in their work. The characteristics described above, such as independence, objectivity, strong control, etc. All run counter to the traditional requirements for women. Intj women's challenges to tradition and the characteristics of continuous improvement and innovation will encounter problems in the male dominated workplace. This conflict will lead to dissatisfaction and rejection of two sexes: men can't understand and don't know how to deal with intj women's independent style; Other women see it as arrogant and indifferent to others. In reality, intj women usually lack patience when dealing with women with traditional female characteristics. What makes more people unbearable is the indifference of intj women: she is always very cautious and extremely professional at work, and pays great attention to her words and deeds. Rarely talk about personal life and strictly separate it from work. Their cautious, professional working attitude and seemingly closed and self-contained private life make it difficult for them to win allies among their colleagues. Especially intj women, they always stand high alone.
Fine management: The planner's people far surpass others in fine management. Each step of the plan must be coordinated with the next step, and may be subject to unpredictable difficulties. Their decisive nature, good at planning and reserved personality determine that they prefer the role of planner. They are no more than 1% of the total population and are difficult to meet. Although they are very capable leaders, they are not keen to enter the management, but prefer to hide in a quiet place unless the leader is too incompetent. However, once they are in charge of their work, they are completely pragmatists. They regard reality as just a chess board to display and refine their strategic talents. When making plans, they were open-minded and willing to accept all valuable suggestions, and fruitful theories were soon applied. For them, the order is not invariable, but can be improved. As long as it is meaningful, it will be adopted, on the contrary, it is not. Planners tend to be more confident than other rational people and usually show a very strong will. And it seems easy to make decisions. In fact, they can hardly rest for a moment before arranging things and making decisions. They have some motivation to complete the plan. They always consider the long-term effect. It seems that the thought itself has brought strength to them. Adversity strongly stimulates them, and they are keen to respond to a difficult problem that needs to be solved creatively. No matter where, even the smallest work, they will build data and human systems. They are usually recommended to the position of person in charge, because they pursue their goals long-lasting, hard-working and firm, do not save their own time and energy, and can give full play to the potential of colleagues and employees. They are used to describing their positive nature and avoiding talking about their negative nature. They are more inclined to promote the development of the organization than to think about past mistakes. They believe that internal and external coherence is indispensable in a well functioning organization.
The eye knows the man Among all types of people, planners benefit the most from schools. At work, they tend to motivate others and work as hard as they are required of themselves, so they often appear demanding and difficult to meet. Colleagues believe that planners can thoroughly see through them and find their defects. Therefore, there is a psychological distance between them, which makes people feel incompetent. At the same time, as a leader, intj has the insight to accurately identify the ability of everyone in the team, and appoints them to their most suitable positions without any prejudice. They are often not understood by their colleagues and are considered too calm. Fortunately, if they feel that they are right, they will not be particularly troubled by their colleagues' criticism and misunderstanding. In a word, they are loyal to the organization, not internal personnel. This trait enables them to continue to work without difficulty when personnel changes.
Coordination ability：For intj type people, increasing influence is to make concessions to secondary views in order to win more important things. This will also reduce the possibility of intj people becoming too stubborn. When they try to adopt a more acceptable way of life and get along with others, intj people will get more balance and self-confidence, and successfully make more innovations accepted by the society. Intj pays attention to its various possibilities (n) in dealing with things, processes these possibilities, conceptualizes and systematizes them, and finally transforms them into objective decision-making (T). These decisions are easy to implement because their usual lifestyle is very organized and planned (J). Their introversion (I) makes their inner world a stage for various ideas, which are much more than the wishes that have been put into practice. The combination of these four tendencies makes intj people confident, calm, competent, sharp insight and constant self affirmation.
