INTJ, Strategist, Intellectual, Introverted

Your Results Snapshot

You have a unique set of traits that make you who you are. The study of personality identifies and organizes your characteristics and behaviors in such a way as to help you better understand yourself. Your Personality Max report is intended to equip you to lead a more effective and fulfilling life.

Your Personality Type

Your personality type is INTJ. This is based on your four Preferences: Introversion (I), Intuition (N), Thinking (T) and Judging (J).

Many of today's theories of psychological typology are based on the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, who wrote Psychological Types in 1921. He was the founder of analytical psychology, which studies the motivations underlying human behavior.

Your personality type is a detailed classification of the innate characteristics that make you who you are. Each of the four temperaments can be divided into four types, making a total of 16 distinct personality types. As with Temperament, your type is determined by the strength of your preferences.

No personality type is better than another. Each person has a unique set of equally valuable characteristics. Understanding your type can be useful in many ways, including relationships and school or career.

INTJ - The "Strategist"

INTJs are private, independent and self-confident. They strive for perfection and achievement. They are gifted strategists with analytical, conceptual and objective minds. They are flexible and like to formulate contingency plans. Strategists are able to see the reasons behind things.

"I cannot live without books." — Thomas Jefferson

INTJs direct their energy inward. They are energized by spending time alone. They typically have fewer friends and prefer small groups. They are private, quiet and deliberate. Strategists are Intuitive people that are always thinking and analyzing. Strategists are very deep and abstract. They are complex on the inside and see endless possibilities.

Strategists are Thinkers that make decisions with their head. They are objective and logical. They are critical, impersonal and thick-skinned. INTJs are structured and scheduled. They are controlled and responsible. They seek closure and enjoy completing tasks.

Social interaction is often the Strategist's greatest challenge since it requires setting aside their strategic thinking. They are not affectionate unless they feel very safe. They do not always know how they affect others and can appear insensitive. Since Strategists enjoy deep conversations, more shallow forms of social interaction are often seen as a waste of time. They want their relationships to serve a good purpose. Strategists honor commitments.

INTJs analyze and strategize before they act. In their work they are organized and structured. They can be counted upon. They set high standards for themselves and believe they can achieve them. Coworkers find them private and hard to get to know. Others may perceive INTJs as aloof or annoyed when in reality they are serious and intense.

INTJs love to learn. They often excel in school and achieve all their goals. They are driven and self-disciplined. They thrive with the most theoretical and complex subjects. INTJs are in a constant quest for self-improvement, growth and self-competency. They are usually voracious readers.

INTJs are gifted theorists. They thrive on understanding and formulating complex systems. Of all the personality types, Strategists are the most penetrating in thought and insight. Their greatest contribution is their desire to produce mastery and achievement that reflects their brilliance.

Your Temperament

Your temperament is NT since you lean toward the Intuition (N) and Thinking (T) preferences. We identify your temperament by the strength of your Preferences. Many psychologists, philosophers and other thinkers have for centuries proposed that there are four temperaments that can describe a person.

Temperament is a more broad classification than Personality Type. Each of the four temperaments is like an umbrella over four related personality types (for a total of 16 personality types).

NT - The "Intellectual"

Intellectuals (NTs) are intelligent, independent and determined.

They are high-achievers, driven not only to acquire but also to master large amounts of information. They are self-sufficient, logical and value reason. While Intellectuals have a desire to know everything, they also tend to question anything. Their keen interest in investigation and questioning make them great researchers and inventors.

They are good at seeing the "big picture." They work well alone and are able to concentrate and study for long periods of time. Intellectuals enjoy abstract and theoretical discussions. They respect brilliance and self-reliance in others. Intellectuals dislike illogical instructions and emotional conversations.

"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." — C.S. Lewis

The Enneagram

The Enneagram is a model of personality that describes nine different types of people. Each type is represented by a number from one to nine, and each type has its own unique set of characteristics and traits. The Enneagram is based on the idea that people have a core type, which is determined by their unique combination of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This core type influences how they perceive the world and interact with others.

The Enneagram is often used as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth. By understanding their own Enneagram type, people can gain insight into their motivations, fears, and desires. This can help them to understand their own behavior and make positive changes in their lives. Additionally, the Enneagram can be useful for improving communication and relationships with others, as it provides a framework for understanding why people behave the way they do.

Your Enneagram Test Results

The Enneagram identifies nine different personality types, each represented by a number from one to nine. The types are referred to by their number, so someone who is a "Three" is said to have a Three personality type. Each type has its own set of characteristics and traits, and people are thought to have a core type that influences how they perceive the world and interact with others.

The nine Enneagram types are as follows:

• Type One is the Perfectionist, who is organized and conscientious.
• Type Two is the Helper, who is empathetic and generous.
• Type Three is the Achiever, who is ambitious and adaptable.
• Type Four is the Individualist, who is creative and self-aware.
• Type Five is the Investigator, who is analytical and detached.
• Type Six is the Loyalist, who is responsible and security-oriented.
• Type Seven is the Enthusiast, who is spontaneous and versatile.
• Type Eight is the Challenger, who is self-confident and assertive.
• Type Nine is the Peacemaker, who is easy-going and receptive.

Your results indicate that you are most likely a Type 1

The Enneagram divides the nine personality types into three triads, each consisting of three types. The triads are grouped based on their common core motivations and emotional experiences. The three triads are as follows:

The 9 Types of the Enneagram

Each of the nine types of the Enneagram has its own driving force, which is centered around a particular emotion. Some types experience strong emotions, while other types aim to avoid emotions in one form or another. However, whether running from emotions or diving into them, each type describes some aspect of emotional experience.

The nine types of the Enneagram are commonly divided into three groups of three types each: Body Types, Head Types, and Heart Types. Each of these groups is considered to be driven by a particular center of intelligence and a particular core emotion.

Instinctual Variants

As a Type One or perfectionist, you may have one of three instinctual variants that influence your behavior and motivations: self-preservation (SP), social (SO), or sexual (SX). These instincts are natural and universal, and they are driven by our basic needs and desires.

If you have the self-preservation instinct, you may be more focused on your personal safety and security, and you may have a strong desire to have everything under control. You may repress your anger more than the other two subtypes, and you may come across as gentle and obedient. However, on the inside, you may have a lot of anger, which can cause you to become obsessed with being perfect. You may be sensitive to criticism from others and may become defensive or rigid when you feel triggered.

If you have the social instinct, you may be more focused on your need to be part of a larger group or community and to feel like you belong. You may be very attentive to groups and care intensely about networks and relationships. You may feel pressure to live up to who you "should be" in these spaces, and you may internalize the role of a teacher or leader, representing the example or ideal of what is proper to say or do for the benefit of all. You may be a valuable contribution to your community when you channel your energy in constructive ways and with a healthy dose of humility.

If you have the sexual instinct, you may bring a strong, passionate energy to your romantic and platonic relationships. You may be very intense and enthusiastic about establishing and maintaining lasting friendships in more supportive environments. You may be devoted to your close friends, partners, coworkers, and company, and you may work on connecting with your loved ones with warmth, sincerity, and reciprocity. Overall, it is important for you to understand your instinctual variant and how it influences your behavior in order to better understand yourself and your motivations.

Healthy vs. Unhealthy Type 1s

As a Type One or perfectionist, you may experience different levels of health based on your level of self-awareness and self-acceptance.

When you are healthy, you may be a wise and intelligent educator who sees many ways that you and the world around you can improve. You may be driven by a strong sense of purpose and a desire to make a positive impact on the world, and you may be able to put off immediate pleasure in order to achieve something better in the long run. You may be moral, just, objective, and discerning in your view of work-related issues, relationships, and the world around you. You may be the world's best teachers and builders, and you may be happy to help others become better versions of themselves. You may be able to accept that people are different and may look forward to making changes to make the community a better place to live.

When you are average, you may become overly idealistic and see yourself as the fixer of the world and the people around you. You may dislike disorderliness and may seem formulaic in your approach, including in your treatment of others. You may become excessively critical of yourself and others, and you may seem impatient, harsh, and frustrated.

When you are unhealthy, you may become harsh, emotional, and unreasonable, and you may begin to explode with inward animosity toward yourself and others. You may harshly criticize your own and other people's behavior, and you may be brutally honest and unwilling to compromise on what you believe to be correct. You may maintain an outward image of calm and reasonability, but you may secretly engage in behaviors that go against your values, which can make you feel humiliated and angry and may cause you to loathe yourself. You may experience a negative emotional cycle that pushes you toward self-blame. It is important for you to work on self-awareness and self-acceptance in order to maintain a healthy level of functioning.

Growth Recommendations

As a Type One or perfectionist, it is important for you to work on your growth and development in order to reach your full potential. Here are some recommendations for how you can continue to grow and improve:

1. Be more patient with yourself and others. It can be helpful to watch your critical mind and try to separate your sense of self-worth from it. Remember that the problem is not that there are too many standards or that they are too high, but rather that you have too much power over how you feel about yourself and how you live your life. It may be helpful to ask yourself whether your constant self-criticism is really effective, or whether it is only wearing you or others down.
2. Learn soothing techniques. It can be helpful to take a step back and try to see how your anger may turn people off, making it difficult for them to hear most of the positive things you have to say. By learning ways to calm yourself down and manage your emotions, you can become more effective in your interactions with others.
3. Set realistic standards. Your perfectionist tendency may make it impossible for you to reach the standards you set for yourself and others. It is important to allow some space and time for adjustments and to be more flexible in your expectations.
4. Remember that not everyone is the same as you. People operate and think differently based on their beliefs and perspectives, and it is important to recognize and respect these differences. It is important to learn to work together and to accommodate these differences in order to build strong and healthy relationships.

Your Wing Expression

The enneagram wings are the numbers next to your core type. Even though they are contradictory, the person may have various traits. This means that Type Ones may have either Type Nine or Type Two wings.

You seem to be a Type 1 Wing 9.

As a Type One with a Nine wing, you may possess conflicting tendencies that can make you feel like you are torn between two different ways of being. On one hand, you are an idealist and perfectionist, driven by a strong inner drive to make the world a better place and to live up to high standards. On the other hand, your Nine wing may give you a more laid-back and less rigid approach, allowing you to be more flexible and less rigid in your thinking and behavior.

Overall, you may be someone who is cool under pressure and able to maintain strong morals and values even in challenging situations. Your Nine wing may also make you more peace-loving and subdued, allowing you to be more relaxed and less reactive to your emotions.

It is important for you to find a balance between these two conflicting tendencies and to learn to use both sides of your personality to your advantage.

Careers for a Type 1

As a Type One or perfectionist, you may be well-suited for careers that require attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a strong sense of responsibility. You may also thrive in professional settings that allow you to be open and communicative, and where your strong work ethic and dedication to your values are appreciated. Some careers that may be a good fit for you include:

• Doctor
• Nurse
• Civil Servant
• Accountant
• Charity Lobbyist
• Politician
• Academic
• Lawyer
• Law Enforcement
• Trade Union Representative

It is important to find a career that aligns with your values and goals, and where you feel valued and supported. It is also important to be aware of your tendencies towards rigidity and judgment, and to try to find an environment that allows you to be your best self.

Avoid environments that are hostile or that make you feel helpless and out of control, as these can be detrimental to your well-being and success.

Compatibility With Other Types

Most compatible with:

As a Type One or perfectionist, you may find that you are most compatible with Enneagram Types Two (the Helpers) and Seven (the Enthusiasts).

Type Two is known for being heart-focused and attentive, and they can bring warmth and compassion to your pursuit of integrity and high standards. They can also help you to soften and relax, as you may have a tendency towards rigidity when focused on tasks. In turn, you can provide Type Two with stability and security, as they may struggle with feelings of abandonment.

Type Seven is known for being bold and energetic, and they may be able to remind you to let loose and not take yourself too seriously. They can bring joy and excitement to your life, and you can provide them with a sense of direction and purpose, helping them to feel grounded.

It is important to remember that compatibility is not determined solely by Enneagram type, and it is possible for individuals of any Enneagram type to form successful, fulfilling relationships. It can be helpful to understand your own strengths and challenges, as well as those of your partner, in order to find ways to support and grow together.

Least compatible with:

As a Type One or perfectionist, you may find that you are least compatible with Enneagram Type Four (the Individualists).

Type Four is known for their creative expression and desire for emotional depth and authenticity. They may be attracted to your strong moral code, sense of justice, and focus on order, but you may find that their tendency towards frivolity and desire for spontaneity can be challenging. Your rigid routines and strict sense of right and wrong may also feel stifling to a Four, who values their freedom to express themselves in unique ways.

It is important to remember that compatibility is not determined solely by Enneagram type, and it is possible for individuals of any Enneagram type to form successful, fulfilling relationships.

It can be helpful to understand your own strengths and challenges, as well as those of your partner, in order to find ways to support and grow together. It may be necessary to work on finding a balance between your different approaches to life in order to foster a harmonious relationship.

Conclusion

As a Type 1, you are known for your strong sense of justice, moral code, and desire for order and perfection. These qualities can be very valuable in helping you achieve your goals and make a positive impact on the world. However, it's important to find a balance between your desire for perfection and the realities of life. Here are some ways you can make the most of who you are:

1. Embrace your strengths: Your attention to detail and high standards can help you excel in your work and personal life. Use these qualities to your advantage and don't be afraid to set high goals for yourself.
2. Practice self-compassion: It's natural for Type 1s to have high expectations for themselves, but it's important to remember that no one is perfect. It's okay to make mistakes and it's important to learn from them and move forward. Practice self-compassion and try to be kind to yourself when things don't go as planned.
3. Find balance: It's important to find a balance between your desire for perfection and the realities of life. Allow yourself to relax and have fun, and try not to be too hard on yourself when things don't go perfectly.
4. Seek out supportive relationships: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you, but who can also help you find balance and perspective. Type 2s and 7s can be particularly supportive and complementary to Type 1s.
5. Be open to learning and growth: Keep an open mind and be willing to try new things and learn from others. This can help you grow and evolve as a person, and can lead to new opportunities and experiences.

Remember, it's okay to be a Type 1 and have high standards, but it's important to find balance and practice self-compassion. By embracing your strengths and being open to learning and growth, you can make the most of who you are and live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
