INTJs are among the rarest MBTI personalities in the population. INTJ stands for Introvert (I), intuitive (N), Thinking (T), Judging (J). They are dubbed “the architects” and “the masterminds” because they are adept at constructing elaborate and masterful systems to accomplish their ends.
INTJs are introverts who are noted for their sullen and cheerless demeanor. However, this is a stereotype along with their reputation for being malevolent mad scientists who don’t give a rat’s ass about humanity. INTJs can be ascerbic but evil and apathy is not intrinsic to this personality type.
They simply prefer to focus on ideas and objectives and place less emphasis on feelings and emotions. When they need to, they are willing to improve their ability to relate and connect with the people they care about. As introverts, they are not terribly social, and prefer to keep their inner circle small and tight. They are very private and even though they have the capacity to go out and engage and be sociable, there is always a significant side to them that they keep to themselves.
