About this type
INTJs live in their heads, and their heads are full of plans. They look at a messy situation and quietly work out how it should be fixed, five steps ahead.
They trust their own judgement, value knowledge, and have little patience for rules that make no sense. Give them a hard problem and some room, and they will surprise you.
