Most of us have heard of the Myers-Briggs test.<\/span><\/p>\n This self-reporting test, whose full name is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or<\/span> MBTI<\/span><\/a>, provides test-takers with an idea of their psychological makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n Used by individuals and companies who want greater insight into what motivates people, the results of the test break out users into one of 16 distinctive personality types.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you know your personality type, you can then learn more about how this type interacts with others in interpersonal relationships, how they perceive the world around them, and what guides their decision-making mechanisms.<\/span><\/p>\n For employers, this information is helpful in understanding how to best manage and inspire all types of employees. For people who are curious and enjoy introspection, knowing your or your partner’s personality type aids in a better understanding of how we interact and why we do certain things in certain ways.<\/span><\/p>\n While the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is not recognized as a hard science tool—it carries no predictive power, and the results are quite generalized—it is, like astrology, a fun way to obtain and interpret data that can be surprisingly accurate at times.<\/span><\/p>\n The results of the test are broken down not only into 16 personality types but into four broad categories, known as dichotomies, which dictate the following:<\/span><\/p>\n You or your romantic partner have taken the <\/span>Myers-Briggs test<\/span><\/a>, and the results have come in: INTJ. What does this acronym stand for?<\/span><\/p>\n Nicknamed the “Mastermind” personality type, the INTJ is Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n They are strong strategic thinkers, excelling in analysis and critical thinking. They love to organize systems and make things work more efficiently. <\/span><\/p>\n True introverts may seem cold and aloof and have difficulty in social situations. INTJs make up only 2% of the population. INTJs are typically male, but females are also represented within this personality type.<\/span><\/p>\n INTJs struggle to find the right person for a <\/span>romantic relationship<\/span><\/a>. They are not your typical “Tinder” type of person, just out for one-night stands or short-term affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n The INTJ personality type is rare, and it may take a long time to open up completely to a friend or partner. But when they do, they are incredibly loyal and completely authentic, and honest. It is impossible for INTJs to lie. <\/span><\/p>\n Dishonesty is just not part of their character. In that way, if you are in a relationship with an INTJ, you can always trust that what they are communicating to you is the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s important to bear the following in mind when speaking with an INTJ:<\/span><\/p>\n They are very loyal and dedicated to their partner.<\/span><\/p>\n They support and believe in the dreams, goals, and aspirations of their partner and they expect the same in return. You can always count on them. In a time of need, INTJ will drop everything and be there for you.<\/span><\/p>\n INTJs, are extremely analytical and strategic people. With a long-term outlook, they look for partners who can both challenge and encourage them as they pursue their professional and personal objectives. <\/span><\/p>\n INTJs prioritize growth and intellectual stimulation in their relationships and respect intelligence, independence, and honesty in a mate. INTJs seek partners who share their values, communicate well, and are eager to invest in ongoing self-improvement in order to have a deep and lasting connection.<\/span><\/p>\n According to licensed mental health counselor <\/span>Grady Shumway<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n They also value a sense of mutual respect and autonomy, as they appreciate space to pursue their individual goals while maintaining a strong, supportive partnership.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n INTJs are sincerely devoted to their spouses and are prepared to put up the effort to make their relationships work, despite the fact that they can be reserved and challenging to read.<\/span><\/p>\n Helping their partner reach their goals. They are the ultimate cheerleader. In that respect, INTJ relationships are very conducive to their partner’s success.<\/span><\/p>\n INTJ relationships entail the struggle for their non-negotiable need to have downtime alone.<\/span><\/p>\n This is their sacred space, the place they go to reenergize and tap into their own resources. No small talk or chit-chat, please. INTJs need their alone time to plan and strategize (two things they thrive on). For a partner who needs a constant stream of conversation, an INTJ is a bad choice.<\/span><\/p>\n INTJ relationships can be rife with conflict as their partners can assume them to be emotionless.<\/span><\/p>\n This does not mean they are automatons.<\/span><\/p>\n It just means they don’t share every single inner feeling with their romantic partner. But they are feeling them, don’t worry! They are merely not as expressive as other personality types.<\/span><\/p>\n For INTJs, emotions are a private matter, not to be broadcast to the world at large.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n This is not the type of person who is going to propose to you via the giant screen at the ballpark.<\/span><\/p>\n Check out this video to understand how INTJs handle their emotions:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/span>What is an INTJ personality?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
