I am an INTJ Personality

Creating personality typologies can seem simplistic. Having recently been in a university environment, I understand this perspective. However, I find these typologies sometimes useful and amusing, especially when looking at memes about my personality type.

I've known the 16personalities website for a long time and have taken the test multiple times, in the vast majority of cases getting INTJ. I'm on the borderline with the INTP personality type. I've had this result once before. Viewing myself through this lens helps me focus on my strengths and acknowledge weaknesses.

It’s also practical in professional settings, like team recruitment, where personality fit is crucial. A colleague advised me to use it during interviews and it makes a lot of sense to me. Besides skills, it’s important to see if a person’s personality fits into the team and highlights their value in a given position.

I am an INTJ (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging). What does it mean?

As an INTJ, I was the kid who loved reading and learning, always full of ideas to make things better. If I seemed quiet, it was because I was busy thinking. This is still true for me today. I enjoy intellectual adventures and challenges, and I seek out intellectual matches in conversations.

Yes, conversations. I'm an introvert, but that doesn't mean I don't like to socialize, I've written about this in the past.

My character served me well in both university and my profession. On the other hand, social skills are definitely a weak point for me. My unique perspective on the world causes me to react to situations differently than expected. I have discussed this in previous writings.
