  • 36. INTJ 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 personality type, there is a happy match between desire and ability in this type. Accordingly, the INTJ is happiest and most effective in careers that allow this type of processing, and that promote an environment in which the INTJ is given a lot of autonomy over their daily lives. Examples of Careers for this Type: Scientist Engineer Professor Doctor / Dentist Corporate Strategist Business Administrator Military Leader Attorney Judge Computer Programmer Designed by Christine Shine 2016
