Careers for INTJ Personality Types






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.



INTJs generally have the following traits:



Able to absorb extremely complex theoretical and complex material

Driven to create order and structure from theoretical abstractions

Supreme strategists

Future-oriented

See the global, "big picture"

Strong insights and intuitions, which they trust implicitly

Value their own opinions over others

Love difficult theoretical challenges

Bored when dealing with mundane routine

Value knowledge and efficiency

Have no patience with inefficiency and confusion

Have very high standards for performance, which they apply to themselves most strongly

Reserved and detached from others

Calm, collected and analytical

Extremely logical and rational

Original and independent

Natural leaders, but will follow those they can fully support

Creative, ingenious, innovative, and resourceful

Work best alone, and prefer to work alone

More so than any other personality type, INTJs are brilliant when it comes to grasping complex theories and applying them to problems to come up with long-term strategies. Since this type of "strategizing" is the central focus and drive of the INTJ, there is a happy match between desire and ability in this type. Accordingly, the INTJ is happiest and most effective in careers which allow this type of processing, and which promote an environment in which the INTJ is given a lot of autonomy over their daily lives.
