The Intuitive Realist: The INTJ

What a sexy title!

This author is spot on.  He or she hits on several key characteristics.   Good stuff here. I did correc a couple of spelling errors.  Must not have been written by an INTJ.


"Fiercely loyal, serious in tone, direct in communication style, INTJs are a hard win but a solid win. Once you’ve won them, they are the best ally you could possibly ever have but getting to that point can be a painful, laborious process. That’s because INTJs have really high standards for themselves and for others close to them. They do not wish to see themselves as mediocre in quality nor do they wish to be surrounded by hoards of riffraff. INTJs value quality over quantity, preferring perfection or something very close to it. "


"An INTJ’s mental construct is electrical energy protected and guided by fiber optics or copper wiring in a structured way. There are no random connections. Every connection serves a purpose and every memory or lesson learned is neatly filed away for future reference."


"INTJs also alleviate stress by engaging in sensory activities. INTJ hobbies (unlike their work) are usually highly engaging for eyesight, smell, taste, touch, and sound. They’ll get into dancing, car racing, outdoor activities, sports, music, cooking, etc. INTJs rarely pursue intellectual/cerebral hobbies as a way of relieving stress, rather finding it to be either pointless or even counterproductive to that end. They do, however pursue knowledge out of curiosity and practical purpose as well as genuine excitement but those motives seem to be independent of stress relief. "


"But there’s more to being an INTJ than just being hyper-efficient and strategic. INTJs are also lazy.
Yep, lazy.
The irony is that INTJs will often put a ton of work in at first just to make sure they don’t have to put in a ton of work later. The less repetitive work, the better. Easily bored, they will replicate a process only a few times before they decide to dwindle down the steps to even fewer. Lazy shits, they are but brilliantly so."


Laziness or boredom with some of the social connections can be a struggle.  This can be an issue with relationships that require constant and consistent nurturing.
