The Architect
The Strategic Mastermind
Overview
INTJs have a strong, private sense of strategic vision, both for the future and how that future can be achieved. Their vision, or sense of knowing, may be difficult to articulate. Others may find their vision difficult to accept, seeing it as impractical or unrealistic. Pursuing their vision might be a lonely task, as they develop and pursue plans without anyone else really understanding the nature of what they are trying to achieve.
