INTJ people are innate leaders, but they choose to remain the people behind the curtain, except in situations where they really need to take the lead. An INTJ is a strong conceptualist and yet makes great efforts to translate ideas into a system of notions already used, understood by others.

It is not an easy thing for INTJ to express their inner, imaginary and abstract ideas. An INTJ as a scientist knows how to give a gift to society by turning ideas into a useful form for others to understand and use. The INTJs are in great need of order and systematization, and this, combined with a penetrating understanding of things, makes them excellent scientists. They want to be actively involved in everything they discover.

However, their priority is not to understand the concepts, but their practical applicability. They are very insightful and understand new ideas immediately. Their minds constantly gather information and make all kinds of associations, connections. With an Introverted Intuition dominating their personality, INTJ people focus their energy on observing the world generating ideas and possibilities. The others are somehow expected to be just like them. They value intelligence, competence, knowledge and, typically, have very high standards in this regard, standards that they strive to achieve. INTJ people live in a world of ideas and strategic planning. The secondary way of directing attention is external, where you analyze things logically, rationally. As an INTJ, your dominant way of directing attention is an internal one, towards the inner world, where you analyze things mainly through personal intuition.
