INTJ

I recently studied Briggs Meyers, the personality classification system based on Carl Jung’s theories. The site  16personalities.com has a test and when I took it I found I was an INTJ-T. It was a fascinating read. Finally I had a structure through which I could understand myself and the people in my life.

INTJ personalities are very rare, and not all for good reasons. We are notoriously difficult to get along with and so future focused it actually effects our memory in that we don’t retain the present to well.

How the world works with such divergent personalities is a mystery, and maybe that’s why it doesn’t. The movie “Divergent” also fictionalized a world where the major types of personalities are kept separate and try to co exist through mutual agreement.

I find myself pouring through reading material on the subject and seeking out people like me.
