Bow down before the INTJ

My profile outcome is this

INTJ
Introvert(67%)  iNtuitive(12%)  Thinking(50%)  Judging(67%)
  • You have distinctive preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)
  • You have slight preference of Intuition over Sensing (12%)
  • You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (50%)
  • You have distinctive preference of Judging over Perceiving (67%)

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. 

INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability.Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.

Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia).

INTJs are idea people. Anything is possible; everything is negotiable.Others may see what is and wonder why; INTJs see what might be and say "Why not?!" Paradoxes, antinomies, and other contradictory phenomena aptly express these intuitors' amusement at those whom they feel may be taking a particular view of reality too seriously. 

Here is a list of people that are INTJ's. Susan B. Anthony, Lance Armstrong, Augustus Caesar, C. S. Lewis, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, General Colin Powell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy, Hannibal Lecter,  Gandalf the Grey , and Professor Moriarty.

That's right guys, I am secretly a woman activist, drug using elite athlete, roman emperor,  world renown Christian writer, black first lady but at the same time white hockey mom, 4 star general, famous action flick governor,  bible cutting Deist,  young president to stay young forever, a cannibalistic serial killer, gray turned to white wizard, and criminal mastermind called the "Napoleon of crime" (Sherlock Holms).

  1. Great list of celebrities-- you got C.S. Lewis AND Gandalf?? Way to go.

    Interesting that this points out your type can be a good fit in the engineering/mathematics field. Is that an area you've considered? I see that the next statement amends that suggestion to any field that requires incisive intellect which leaves a lot of other options open as well. :)

    10/10 (ignore the score on the other blog; these two pieces are taken together as a whole, and initially I thought you'd only posted half of the assignment.)
